Yes I did. For 7-8 months I couldn't get a job having graduated with a Masters. Now after 5 years in the same position, I've moved on but as you say it's very tough. I have been searching for 4 months trending on a different career path now but still it is really tough however I have realized that the only way is to push through that phase as much as you can. You'd be surprised by how attitude can be the difference between getting a job or not. Once I became more confident with my approach I got to final stages of interviews with big companies. I got rejected but took a lot out of it.

I'll tell you my background story, where I'm from originally, there are little to no opportunities without having contacts. I traveled to London to search for opportunities. No one would sponsor me so I had to make something out of nothing. In the end I got an opportunity and now I just got my residency. Since then I want to do something more in line with my passions and literally been grinding my ass off constantly. I still get a rough time and my experience isn't where I want it to be, but the only way is to keep going 110% till you get a break.

Try not to have any excuses. I know bad luck accounts a lot but the more you look at it that way the more it weighs you down. And even if you gotta force it, a positive attitude is vital. If you feel your town has no opportunities, move! Try something different, that's my advice. A fresh start is always good. All the best and keep going! And if you need to talk just message me.
