My husband says don't give up and I won't, but it's so freaking frustrating. He gets every job he applies for (I'm not kidding). I have a bachelors and masters degree and nobody wants me.,
Just needed to vent. Thanks for reading.
You may feel like a loser, but you're certainly not.
What worked for me (I was out of work for a little bit, too) was to set my $$ amount lower. Not so low as to cause harm to our personal finances, though.
Another way to look at it is perhaps God, in His infinite wisdom, didn't want you at that job for a particular reason. Only He can see what's down the road and it's possible that something or someone there would have been a roadblock to your personal growth. Keep trying and put that job behind you. Try not to think about it or look over your shoulder at what might have been. Eyes forward and moving into a better job. You'll get there. And nobody says you can't put your resume in at the same place you just interviewed at. This time somone different might interview you.

Awww 
They're not rejecting YOU, it's just that the skills or experience you have doesn't match what they need. If you were a loser, you sure the heck wouldn't have your bachelors & masters - heck I don't even come close to that!
im sorry you didnt get the job but the right one will come along!

I think it's faith in God that keeps me going. Generally, I tend to believe there is a bigger reason for everything that happens - good AND bad, though it's not always easy to see the reasoning behind the bad. Logically, I know it's not personal. I have a job now, and don't get me wrong, I am grateful for it, especially in this economy. The job I have now offers limited hours because of budget cuts. Between my job, and my husband's two jobs, we still struggle to pay the bills. This job I applied for would've been a huge help. As we all know, it sucks if we're having to choose what bill to pay and what we can't with that particular check. We're not looking to get rich - we just don't want to have to worry so much.
I'm not giving up. It's just hard to stay positive sometimes.
I totally get that. I was laid off after 15 1/2 years on one job in 2009. I was out of work for nearly a year and DH was already out of work. We were living off our savings and unemployment. Got a contract job for a year then was out of work again for 6 months. Got another contract job this time for a year and now one of us was hired on with the company. The other wasn't but there's unemployment again.
During the periods of unemployment, we lost one of our cars and a 4 bedroom home. We're not used to living in apts and every time we move, it costs more than what we really have. God help us if one of us has a flat tire.
It will get better for you. Try some of the temp agencies - they may have listings that are temp-to-hire but also have positions that are permanent/full-time.

that's ok, I am overqualified and can't even get a pt job in this damn town bc I don't speak fluent spanish, it sucks so I completly feel your pain. Keep trying and try and keep your head up, it's just one job, there will be others and maybe you will find one that's a better fit, also if you wanted to you could try one of those homebased businesses or do like I do and make crafts to sell at fairs and online. Good luck.
I just want to be able to..
