you keep trying until something works.
it took me 100s of applications to find employment anytime i was out of work. dozens of interviews. usually got 2-3 offers all at the same time.
most people need 6-12 months to find a job. it is a long process. even if the economy is booming, it will still take people 3-6 months. when it's really bad, it's years.
