Well, I'm in tech and that's the area i can speak about. The golden rule for ME is, Dont go for jobs you clearly know you're over qualified for.
Go for those jobs that are a perfect match to your skills, then write a cover letter based on the job description and specifications.

Personally, i applied continuously for over 8 months, and i got unfortunately every single day... Except weekends sha . I managed to get a couple of interviews but the feedback was always that i was overqualified and they have someone already in the uk willing to resume immediately even thou I performed beta. They encouraged i would get something beta in pay and position. Often times, they just call me to notify me about the feedback without a chance to tactically explain that i can start remotely or that i was okay with the pay.

The only thing i finally changed earlier this year was to be writing personalised cover letter, and i started getting more interviews, and ofcourse, I stopped applying for junior roles too.

I got two offers at almost the same time. I use LinkedIn and indeed in searching and you can try making it a daily routine too, maybe 3 to 5 job applications per day. Interviews would surely come in the longrun.

No worries you still within the time frame of medical request. It usually takes 6-12 months from recieving of PER with average of 9 months. Mine took like 11 months or thereabouts. So just chill and enjoy your xmas.
