With your journalistic background, have you ever consider applying for jobs in public relations and communications? My daughter had much better responses when she emailed the inhouse
pr department and
pr agencies directly.
How about becoming a private tutor and teaching English as a foreign language?
If you can sublet and have a spare room, then finding a roommate is the way to go. You’ll never know, you might end up with a nice respectable lodger who is not an alcoholic or a drug dealer and therefore no risk to your daughter.
There are other options too like providing homestay to international students if you live near a university or college and providing rooms for visitors/ tourists through Airbnb.
My daughter, after her graduation, struggled to find a job due to lack of experience. To a point that she felt so low that she wanted to go to a doctor and ask for anti depressants, because she was applying for jobs every day and getting nowhere.
She eventually got a short term paid internship and her boss was like ‘The Devil Wears Prada’ who treats interns very badly.
That internship lead to a permanent job elsewhere, but it took her a while to regain her confidence again.
