Hi. Help him to make proper job search. If we don't get something it means our search is not done perfectly. And ask him to handle one issue at a time. Talk to him deeply and make him understand the positive ways of dealing with issues. May be if you can't help then he can be taken to counseling also. You should motivate him by helping to understand reality . Do not scold or tell he done everything wrongly. Also you can help him to get a job. His favourite people should be near him . You can also do that.
