Does the job market suck or is it just me?

I'm honestly having a hard time finding a new job. I've been looking for about a year and have had little luck landing one. I've had a few good opportunities, but the companies ended up going with someone who has more experience or just blatantly ghosting.

I'm 26 years old, and I've been in the sales industry for about 6 years now. I was a used car manager for about 1.5 years until Ford decided to take the Ford ticket from the owners, resulting in the dealership shutting its doors. Ever since that happened, I've had a hard time finding a new job that isn't selling cars or any kind of sales gig.

I don't even know where to look anymore or what kind of jobs to apply for. I got my bachelor's while working as a used car manager. I got a B.S. in technical management. I've had 2-3 interviews with General Motors for a district sales manager position, 1 with Honda for a district sales manager position, and 1 with J.D. Power for a software implementation manager role (I for sure thought I got the job since I had 3 interviews with different people. They ended up going with another guy with more experience).

I get sales job offers, but I want out of sales. Kind of feel like giving up looking for a new job. It's becoming stressful.
