When the job hunt takes longer than expected, it's time to reevaluate. If you're not even getting an interview, then either your resume needs to be reevaluated or you've targeted the wrong field.
REVIEW YOUR RESUME
Are your skills clearly listed? Does it use action words to describe your expertise? Is it focused on the specific industry in which you are searching for a job? Is it formatted in a reader-friendly way, or do you have to search to pick out your strengths? Have a friend who knows how to write effective resumes evaluate it also.
HAVE YOU PICKED THE RIGHT INDUSTRY?
If you are looking for a job in the computer industry and your resume doesn't list any expertise in the field, then you're hunting for a job without any credentials. Before you spend additional time looking for a job in that field, reassess your goals. You must be able to demonstrate some transferable skills to get a job in an industry in which you have limited experience. Perhaps you need to develop additional skills first.
RECONNECT WITH YOUR NETWORKING CONTACTS
Call the people on your networking list. Tell them that your job search is stalled and ask for advice. Try to broaden the circle of contacts. Anyone you know, even if it is just a “good morning acquaintance” is part of your network. This is not the time to be shy.
CHECK YOUR INTERVIEWING SKILLS
If your resume gets you into the interview and you don’t get a callback for a second interview or offered a position, then reevaluate your interviewing skills.
Knowing the correct answers to tough questions and practice will improve your skills.
Peace and every blessing!

I could also depend on where you live and how the economy is doing at the moment. Some places have higher unemployment rates because of the lack of jobs. What kind of job are you looking for? Some job fields are harder to get into. But if you're just looking for any job... I'm sure that you could find something somewhere, it just might not be too pleasant of a job.

maybe you have your sites set to high for your qualifications.
Apply for what you know your qualified to do.
Take a lower paying job while you continue looking for a better Job.
Get more education and experience.
