have you asked for feedback when this happens, and if so what responses have you gotten?

They usually either ignore me after telling me they won't hire me, or they'll say something like "We've received many qualified applicants, and have unfortunately decided to go with other candidates"

I'm really sorry to hear that. I imagine you are looking for your first job out of college?

Even as a quality candidate there might be a lot of way that you are going wrong. I would advise you try and get your CV looked at. This can make a big difference. I'm sure there is lots of advice out there. What market are you looking in?
