But the irony is as long as I don't get hired, the problem can only get worse at the weeks go by, while I wait for any interview. And the next HR is going to pick on the same issue. I have no control over hiring decision.

Feeling helpless and depressed.
The HR look down on job seekers without jobs for long time.They do not give chance at all!
I think you need to tap on your network to help you find jobs. In the meanwhile, you can setup a business as a self employed freelancer/contractor to show you have been doing something over the 15 months
