I have no network, what do u mean widen ur search criteria, like doing a barista job, which I already have.

What jobs are you looking at that require 5-10 years of experience?

Why do you have no network? Can you build one? Do you have friends in the industries you are interested in? Parent's friends? Can you afford to volunteer for a company, a hackathon, a meet up, a conference in the area you are interested in?

Also, can you build something of interest yourself which you can point to at job interviews? Can you find an open source project to contribute to in your area of interest?

Yes, and I have, but most companies don’t give enough importance to such projects.
