dont know how to go forward and feeling moody. took two online courses from EDX for relevant skills but really dont learn much and they are expensive
Bro/sis, I can sympathise with you because I'm in the same boat as u, if not worse. I've an MBA from INSEAD, considered as one of the top B schools globally, and 5 years of work exp. I've been applying for jobs since last Dec until now with no success.

All of my foreign classmates (and PRs) who chose to find a job here have already secured jobs before the peak of covid. 1 of them has even left his 1st job recently and will likely start his 2nd one soon. Most of my SGP classmates can't even secure a single offer, not even in our home country.

TLDR: stay positive and don't give up your search—you're not alone in this!
