I wouldn't let anyone get you down by implying that there is something wrong b/c you have been job hunting for 14 weeks with no luck. That said, it is really easy to sit at home and rely on the internet for job opportunities; something it seems like you're beginning to realize. I don't know much about your industry, but I can't imagine cold calling would be that much more fruitful. Why not start tapping your network? Make a list of everyone you know in the industry and start asking them if you can have lunch or chat over the phone. It doesn't have to be asking them for a job, just doing some due diligence on the state of the industry, who they've heard is hiring, etc... Best of luck!
