Okay, so generally this doesn't seem like a bad reading to me, nothing bleak, however there seems to be some issue with you identifying possible opportunities and your attitude in general towards the situation, perhaps about commitment. Let's go a little deeper into the situation.
The positions of the cards are: Center, the situation or issue; left internal influences you are not aware of; right, external influences you are aware of; bottom, what is needed for resolution and lastly on top, the outcome or the understanding. The one on the far right is a clarifying card.
Center, the situation The Four of Cups:
In this case, this is your situation about looking for a job. The first thing that struck me is that there is no presence of the Pentacles, which can signify work or money but there are a few Cups, which regard to our emotions. In this card we see a man with three cups on the ground and a fourth cup appearing of from a cloud; he is with his arms crossed. I think this describes the situation you've described well. In this case, since there are other cards that indicate a need for commitment, I am going to suggest that this card means indecision about the opportunities you already have or have tried and new ones that might be showing up.
Left, internal influences you are not aware Two of Cups, Reversed: This card usually means a relationship or working together; union. However, since this is work related it suggests to me that there is something within you that is not really wanting to commit to something, there might be a disunity regarding the things you want to do and the thing you'd like to do.
Right, external influences you are aware 9 of Swords: It seems that the situation is taking a toll on you, perhaps inducing depression, anxiety or taking away your sleep. However, there are things that you are not seeing that would make your experience of the situation less stressful.
Bottom, what is needed from you The four of Wands: This is a very cheerful card. In this case, I am going to take it to meaning commitment as a union or a marriage. I say this because of the card on the left which is the internal influences you are not aware. For you to resolve your situation you are going to need to commit to something and push for a while with it instead of diffusing your efforts with different things. This however, and this is important, requires a degree of joy, of going outside the cold walls of our personal castles. Perhaps committing to something you are passionate about or that will give you enough enthusiasm to commit joyfully to it.
Top, the understanding Temperance:
Another reference to commitment, and it this case it will be the value of it. Commitment to a new life. This is also a reference to balance and a calmed mind. It seems to me that if you do commit to something and focus your efforts with that, with clarity and balance of your creative energies you will succeed in your search for a job or your prospects for work.
Clarification The Sun, Reversed:
To me this card is clarifying that you are not seeing that this might be a good thing for you. Maybe you didn't like your past job and are being offered a chance to redirect your life in something more positive. The Sun card is rarely negative, because no matter what the Sun is always shinning. It more often means that we are failing to see it, or that there could be some clouds covering it, but it is still there.
So generally, the cards seem to indicate that what you need is to shake yourself up --if this is keeping you down as the swords card suggests-- and see the boon of your situation, as stressful as it might be. Take some time to reflect upon your choices but be weary of veering off too strongly from the areas you are comfortable or good at and once you've taken a good hard look at them, commit to it and push in that direction. As a result of this, you will find yourself learning a bit about the worth of commitment and the balance that it can bring to use once are creative forces are put to good use.
I hope this is helpful to you, anything that strikes as accurate or inaccurate let me know, as well if you have any questions, comments or clarifications about my interpretation. Reading the Tarot is most of the time about figuring out what the cards are trying to say specifically, following the singposts of the traditional meaning of the cards.
