Looking for work is one of the most draining things you can experience - sadly enough, people who have work rarely appreciate that. They see someone who's unemployed and label him a lazy bum. They complain how those unemployed people are out of a job because they chose to be.

In reality, companies are just very picky. I mean, the IT and service industry has a huge employee market - fewer people want to work in factories and with automation increasing, there's no work there either anyway. So for every job as IT specialist or programmer or even just an accountant, there's dozens of people lining up to steal it away from you.

Most companies got oodles of resumes in the mail. I mean, the company I work for offered a 3 month internship due to pregnancy leave of one of my colleagues and there were 15 people willing to fill it. If people are jumping just to fill in a 3 month job with no chance of a full time contract, it really shows how desperate people are.

If you're looking for a job, this means you'll get turned down dozens of times and in many cases, you won't even get a reply at all. Heck, the industry is sexist, racist, etc. They'll ALWAYS pick a young girl over an experienced guy if they can get away with it, for example.

All you can do is persevere and try to get an edge over the others. Try to represent yourself in such a way that you make yourself irresisteble.
