If your resume is anything like your question, I can tell you right away what your problem is.
You do not have a good command of the English language.
I suggest taking some English courses, and get a vocational counselor to help you with filling out job applications. Most companies will hire anyone of any background as long as they can communicate well.
Unfortunately, you don't.
I hope you will improve your language skills and improve your writing skills.
Good luck to you!

Ask yourself some hard questions, since you are originally from Sudan. Do you have all the proper documentation for US residency &/or citizenship? Employers cannot hire someone unless they are properly documented to live & work in the US. Can you be understood by the general public when you talk? When you cannot communicate properly, they won't take a chance with you, since they can't understand you.. Have you double checked your resume & applications for any errors before turning them in? Simple errors will take an excellent candidate to the bottom. Are you listing positive references in the area with proper contact info? Some employers conduct background checks & talk to people that you know to get a better assessment of you. Have you taken a career assessment from a local school to make sure that you are applying for the right fields? Are you contacting some of the places that you applied to, so they know that you are interested in the position offered?
Most of all keep trying. Sometimes job searches take longer than expected. This tiime of the year is the worst time to look for work. Tax season & winter weather take their toll on employers. They don't want to hire just anybody, only the most qualified.
