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.
Why on and off ? It does seem to the HR that you are in no hurry to get hired ? And is the HR actually a recruitment agent ? And why would the HR even bother to contact you to tell you that you are unemployed for too long ? Wouldn’t they just filter and shortlist candidates ?
