It really depends on your field. I finished with a degree for teaching ESL and had multiple interviews by the first day I sent out my resumes. This is not typical, of course, but one interview per month may be normal for your field. If not, then it may be an issue of your resume itself, or the job market in general.

I majored in GIS. There are jobs out there, but they seem to be pretty competitive. I suspect civil engineers are taking a lot of the work in this area.
It depends on your degree and your field you are applying for. When I graduated college many years ago (Economics degree), I had about 2-3 interviews a month. The job market was different then.
That actually sounds above average to me. I didn't hear anything from any jobs for months. However, I have a Liberal Arts background and I graduated just a little while back, when the job search was a lot worse.
I recently started interviewing again after working in HR for 2 years. I applied to about 10 positions over a few days and got call backs from about 6 or 7 of them. I think I'm fortunate to work in a field that seems to be in demand right now. My resume is also full of very specific, creative accomplishments during my time working there.
There's a lot of different variables that could affect the number of interviews you have. Are there a lot of job opportunities that you are qualified for in the area you're searching? Does your resume highlight your strengths and contributions, and differentiate you from other candidates? Etc....
If you feel like you're getting interviews at a slow pace, you have to be proactive about identifying ways to improve it.
One complete stranger online said he did 2 per month. I once had 3 within a 2 week time period... nothing for a month, then 1 more given a 1 month time period. On and off really.
For better info, consider telling us your location, field of study, and where you have been looking.
So for example, in the Houston area, doing GIS of ESL teaching, but looking at metropolitan areas too.
