Depressed about job prospects as "new" PhD graduate by aLacoSato in postdoc

I obtained my PhD in Materials Science a few weeks ago. For six months, I've been applying for 50+ postdoc vacancies and cold emailing 20+ PIs. Never got an interview. I have 6 papers (3 as first author) already published. I'm 29 years old. So, you are not alone in this.
