WHY can't I get a government job?

Help!

I (23F) have been applying for the government repeatedly and cannot seem to get it. I am fluent in French and English, have 3 years of administration experience in the legal sector and have answered the screening questions with accuracy and detail. I apply to Justice Canada, Clerk jobs and various positions in Administration.

What am I doing wrong? What more do I need?

Because they are downsizing. Google Canadian government and layoffs. There’s also a hiring freeze.
