:( I know how you feel. I haven't applied for as many, but I am applying for a permanent postdoctoral position. I've even had informal meetings with some of the appointers of more local positions, and never get an interview! Sucks!
It really does. At least we can say we've been looking so no one can accuse us of laziness.
Still, it's annoying, especially when I know the main problem with my application is that a) My course schedule allows for some rather inconvenient hours and b)I seem way too academic (but I do physics! I can't help that!) for most of the jobs I apply for. The former is just the way things are, the latter is uber frustrating because I know (say when it comes to retail jobs) I could do the job better than half the guys who apply with fashion/marketing/etc degrees in tow (well, judging from the sales assistants I've met).
