Make sincere dua to Allah especially in the late parts of night at Tahajud and believe that Allah has accepted it and don't be hasty.
Narrated Abu Huraira:
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "The invocation of anyone of you is granted (by Allah) if he does not show impatience (by saying, "I invoked Allah but my request has not been granted.")
Provision is increased by asking forgiveness from Allah and charity so give a lot of sadqa (charity)
https://quran.com/71/10-12
And said, 'Ask forgiveness of your Lord. Indeed, He is ever a Perpetual Forgiver.
He will send [rain from] the sky upon you in [continuing] showers
And give you increase in wealth and children and provide for you gardens and provide for you rivers.

If you're still not getting the job then it must not be right for you. Do istikhira.
