Very qualified but nobody wants to hire me, why?

Legit question, i'm from Europe. I'm a lawyer with a PhD, have passed the BAR exam, have references for work experience and additional education from Europe, China, USA, Palestine, Israel. I have an aditional 1 year EU course in negotiation from Brussels and Paris. For the past ten years I have worked for the past 8 years for a political institution, but never really engaged in much politics, 80% of my work has been pure legal work, and might I add, it was very diverse, (civil law, criminal law, administrative law, corporate law, etc.) I got sick of my job lately and have sent over 100 job applications. I haven't gotten even one job interwiev, not even one. Could someone please tell me why???
