The problem is obvious, its nothing to do with the economy or a blacklist as such. Your grovelling technique is simply not up to standard. This is often a problem with anarchists. Worst part of it is they don't even realise there is a problem.
Clearly if you can get the interviews you have the qualifications. The interview is solely for the purpose of administering the grovel test. You probably breeze in there and treat the employer as a fellow human beings, an equal, right? Instead, you must demonstrate that you know your place, they aren't going to take you seriously unless you do, they'll think you are just going through the motions, a work-shy bludger using subtle signals to indicate you don't really want the job.
