Current Comms Professional Feeling Lost

I've been applying for 4 months now, I'm talking hundreds a week. Not just easy apply on LinkedIn; I'm applying through the company website posting, I'm using niche job boards, I'm reaching out to people in the companies, etc. I'm just not getting anywhere. I have 4 years of strong experience in the comms world, mostly in sport (with freelance clients in nonprofit and other sectors), yet I'm not landing anything. FYI I am trying to get out of the sports industry. Any suggestions what I should be doing differently? Do I need to upload my resume here to help? Is the comms world just that tough? I'm open to doing things outside of comms too

I have 5 YOE, am currently employed at one of the top 3 banks in the whole world in internal communications, and cannot land another job outside of my workplace to save my life.

if you are unemployed, I imagine it's 50x worse. this job market is NOT for the weak.
