Taking your post at face value, I am assuming you are sending out multiple resumes, and trying hard, it's tough.
It's hard not to take the rejection personally but keep going, maybe try some different strategies.
Good luck!

seeing a news article, years ago, about a woman who made a sandwich board saying that she was looking for work and wore it downtown and at a key location on the freeway into town.
She eventually got hired.

I know just the process of job hunting itself is exhausting, but if you're really serious about finding a job, take up volunteering in a capacity that's related to what you want to do. Not only is it a great way to get experience and skills in your desired field, but volunteer work strengthens your resume, and most importantly allows you to network with individuals who might be able to get you a job down the line. Just some friendly advice - I found it worked well for me :)

who you know, rather than all your experience in what you know. Networking is key to finding a job you really want. You'll be lucky to get an interview; randomly emailing resumes. Your people skills is by far one of the most crucial aspects.

I'm also in the market, if you will. I'm educated and need to stop waiting tables. I respect and understand your position.
