Don't be disheartened. Every application is one application nearer your next gig. This is just basic sales and laws of averages.
Also jobserve is not the only site.
Plenty of smaller job boards and alternatives. Also start building your linked in network, rehashing your old clients etc. Perfect time of year to invite old bosses out for a drink as you "will be in the area".

I just bailed on a gig to start a new one 4 weeks this side of Christmas.

I turned down an interview for a role that was a bit far away, so obviously not desperate.....
