I went through the same thing several years ago. Couldn't get any kind of job much less a career one. I heard the same things, overqualified, all the buts.

I got so sick of getting little "Dear John" letters in the mail stating the "but we'll keep your resume on file if a job opens that match your qualifications".

The only thing that made me feel better was sending along teh following photo of the man with a little message of my own..."Thanks for keeping my resume on file for another year just in case something opens up. Stick this in my file while your at it!"

Hang in there Annie. It aint easy but something will turn up when you least expect it. I wonder if you could start your own business??
