Hello Fleury29: Well... this is sort-of up my alley, as the saying goes... since... back when I was a real person... I was a vocational rehabilitation counselor. Yes, it certainly sounds as though something is wrong. Basically, job applications are used to screen people out... not in. So, presumably, there's something about the way you're completing yours that is causing you to be screened out repeatedly. This, of course, assumes you're applying for positions for which you're qualified... which it sounds as though you are.

Of course the question is... what is it you're doing. And this I cannot say. Is there, by any chance, a job seeking skills class in your area you could take? I don't know where you live, but in the U.S. these are sometimes offered by state job services offices. Community colleges also sometimes offer these. I think, in some way, what you need to do is to find an employment counselor or job seeking skills instructor who can look at how you're filling out job applications & offer some suggestions as to what it may be that is causing you to be consistently screened out.
