Unemployed for 7 months, what do I do?

I have 4 years of IT experience. I’ve posted before but nothing has changed since.

I’ve been unemployed for 6 months since my contract ended in mid June. I have had few interviews between the middle of the year and now but have been getting some calls lately.

Unfortunately, it always ends in them going in another direction and I don’t get hired.

What do I do in this case? I have prepped a dumbed down resume to work at restaurants but I’ve walked into restaurants with a resume, interviewed and had no success.

What do I do now?
