I have been looking for a new job for 3 years unsuccessfully, depressing at moments, sometimes i apply more sometimes less, but in general a few application per month, can you please advise what to do? Would reaching out to people on LinkedIn help? Internally didn't help much....

You should definitely be applying to a few applications per day not per month.

A few applications per month? I applied to more in December than you did in 3 years probably. Your first issue is volume in a mediocre market. If you’re expecting a low hit rate, you need to increase dramatically.
