It has nothing to do with macroeconomic conditions like unemployment rate, but most likely because you are applying for jobs that are way too high for your level of expertise.
For e.g. a regional HRBP is usually at least 4-5 levels above your current job as a junior HR ops exec. Most generalist who transit to proper specialist role need to chalk up at least 10 years exp in the ops space.
Being ambitious is good, but must also know where you stand. Otherwise its just wasting time or worse still get interviewed by some co. who give inflate titles, wasting your time and jeapordising your career prospects in the process.
