I’m sales analyst who has a pretty decent skill set when compared to people I know. I have paid twice for a resume redo and once for cover letter and even LinkedIn profile to be done, but I’ve been looking for a job for nearly a year now. Plenty of roles out there it seems. I just went back through my calendar and I’ve had 20+ first interviews, 12 second interviews, 40+ direct contact with recruiter/hiring managers, and more than 200 resumes submitted. What am I doing wrong?

Do companies sometimes offer "gifts of appreciation" if you're not selected for a merit increase? My manager randomly called me to let me know I was chosen for the "gift" this year bc of my "hard work & dedication", except now I'm learning other colleagues are receiving actual merits.
I mean it's possible that I may receive a merit, but I feel like I won't considering my manager never brought it up & the dept update made it sound like those receiving it should know by now.
