Trouble finding a job

I haven't been able to find a job in the past 9 months. I've had plenty of interviews which honestly I thought a couple of them went really well but they never chose me. I have background in customer service and in sales. Am I the only one having an issue finding a job in the past year?

I know I am prepared for the interveiw and have a good background and im not really sure what's happening. I don't want to go on unemployment because it will make me feel like I failed but I am slowly going in debt. Any advice? Please help.
