Older workers over 50: how are you faring in this job market?

That’s essentially it. Mid 50s male here. I was laid off back in November and was on unemployment until March and then picked up a contract position through my LLC that ends in two weeks. I have been consistently sending out resumes (probably 200 by now) since November and have had exactly 2 interviews. Sadly, they went with the internal candidate, which makes me want to work for that particular company that much more. How are you getting in front of decision makers? I’m feeling rather hopeless and out to pasture.
