I'll ask a lot of questions, don't be offended if you've already thought of all of these ideas:

Have you heard any feedback about why you aren't getting any interest from employers? Can you ask your friends to review your resume and do a mock interview?

I've heard good things about getting feedback through http://interviewing.io.

Can you interview at a less selective company where you would be more likely to get an offer, just to get something? I know people who were able to get their first job at a non-profit such as a charity or library. Those positions probably don't pay well so there aren't as many applicants, but it can get you back on your feet.

Have you reached out to all previous managers and coworkers to see if they are aware of any opportunities?

It sounds like you don't currently have a job which means you can go about job search differently. I don't know if this is a possibility, but some companies have a situation where they pay you to work with them for a week, and then they decide if you are a good fit. This might help if you are fine at doing work but under perform in interviews.

Have you applied for unemployment or government aid?
