It isn't so much you as the "buyers market" right now.
If it makes you feel better, my partner has been looking for work for over a year. He has an engineering degree, and over 10 years experience for the jobs he was applying for. He has not had an employment gap due to some part time work. It seems a lot of it is the work simply isn't there - many of the jobs are nonexistent even if a company keeps posting them as if they are (probably to make it look like they are providing work). He sees the same jobs listed for months, or gets notices that the position was eliminated and so he would no longer be considered.
He finally took a job at a landscaping business. He was hired immediately, and they actually pay decent for the type of work.
