I feel for you. I’m not in the same field as you, and I’m not the same person you replied to either. I’m just chiming in. I’ve been unemployed for over a year; your post makes me think you are starting to feel stressed and this is the first step towards depression. I went down that route and getting out of it was very tough; I’m still working on it.

In short, I want to say, try to get a plebe jobbe now instead of waiting to land something good. It’ll keep you going and you won’t care much about it if you lose it or need to quit.

I’m currently in retail, I actually have two part time jobs. It took me a while to get them, and I had to tailor my resume for it. I had to remove experience from it to finally get interviews in lower positions. Nobody at the shopping mall cared how long I worked in a studio elsewhere or what I did. And trust me, I have plenty of dim witted, ugly coworkers (as well as smart ones and good looking ones) so don’t think you have an unhireable aura. There’s plenty worse than you out there, I’m absolutely certain.

Good luck OP
