No, unless you specialize in a very tight subject that companies are clamoring to develop. Even then it's an iffy way to go unless you have the research that empowers your position. Your best bet is to continue and figure out where you are failing. Take the time you have to create a portfolio that highlights your skills by taking on a few contract jobs even if you think they pay too little but choose carefully. It used to be that certificates had little value over experience but these days they give you an edge over those that don't have them so I would start to see what certificates are most sought and get them. By the way, 8 interview is not that many. You are giving up way too soon.
