Unfortunately, I think it's always been like this and today more so than ever. My Dad had the same problem, though at least in those days, a reem of qualifications got you an interview and job offer in another area and so meritocracy did apply.
I honestly don't know what the answer is as I have the same problems too- no connections despite good qualifications; and I'm not good at selling myself and cannot abide workplace cliques. They aren't real friendships and it's all so false- as is the world these days.
