What am I doing wrong?

I've applied to at least 15+ different positions on EdJoin, at least 10 have given me the typical "unfortunately, we are moving forward with someone different.." rhetoric, 2 got back to me with first round interviews (they said no shortly after) and I got one position locked as a part time sub (mind you, I just completed my SS Credential program and have my preliminary, with Summa Cum Laude). I've gotten a great recommendation from the district I'm at currently, but they aren't renewing my contract so I've found myself in this pickle. Am I just that bad of an teacher or what's even happening right now? For context I've applied all across SoCal cause that's where I live, would love to know what am I doing wrong or if there is just a tight market on art teachers right now.

Don't mince words, I wanna get better and if that means scrapping this entire portfolio and starting anew so be it, but let me know what you think and what can I do to finally get better and get out there and start applying (yes I know the industry is a current barren landscape, but I'm also saying this cause I want to get better as a 3d animator. Help me understand what makes a good 3d animator portfolio, what am I missing, should I include storyboards/character designs??? And what can I do from here going forward to work on.
