Hrmmmm, I'm interviewing now for general helpdesk roles in my area, and my numbers for comparison are as such: 172 Applications 14 Interviews 4 Onsite 2 Offers

I very much understand your frustration with the job market and how things go, because before I was in my current location, I sent out 200+ applications and got 2 interviews with no responses. The cop out advice is to just keep trying, but I would echo sentiments to find a set of friends to interview you in panel interviews and one on one and see what kind of feedback they give, or if you can do better and get a friend of a friend to do it, that may be better since they don't explicitly know you and may give you more constructive criticism.
