Don't put yourself down, hiring is broken. Very few recruiters actually understand the requirements that are in demand for a given position, and many will discard you for irrelevant reasons: e.g. they dislike your CV formatting, or you have extra unrelated experience in the CV (thus you're not specialized). It's mostly a numbers game, so keep putting in the time - but not mindlessly: keep optimizing your CV/presentation/skills and it will eventually happen.
