I've worked in the IT industry (Sydney AU) for decades. It has never been this bad in getting work/contracts. Unless you score 10/10 on the keyword bingo, you won't even get a phone call back. For every contract I have applied for, there were 100+ other applicants. I had a look at your CV. There's nothing there to catch tech recruiter's attention. For example you could recast your various projects in terms of what you deliver as a benefit to a potential employer. Going remote is generally only viable if you have specific valued skills to offer.
