Can't sleep...

[clf327]

I just can't sleep...it drives me nuts how my brain seems to turn on at night! Well, I'm job hunting, and getting really discouraged. This job market really really really sucks! If you look on careerbuilder.com most of the positions are scams, so I've spent hours surfing other job sites. I have rewritten my resume three times, and spent 3 hours on it today! I have experience and skills but aside from finding a job that I want, I can't seem to get anyone to even answer my emails aside from sending a reply stating that they are getting overwhelming emails and will get to me eventually! I went to an interview, and don't think I'm going to get the job...as I walked out I thought "I'll either get the job because of all my experience, or I won't because the managers (13 yrs younger than me) will be intimidated by my experience and would fear that I'd take their job". I can't even get a menial job because I'm told I'm "over-qualified"! I feel like I need to "dumb-down" my resume in order to get a stupid min wage job just to make ends meet!  Damn recession!!

I have 4 kids and I know what you mean when you say your brain is aways turned on. I don't seem to sleep more then 2-4 hours a night on my best nights. Don't get discouraged about work. It will take some time but I'm sure when you least expect it something perfect will come your way. Just keep your chin up and try to enjoy what free time you have now. Best of Luck!
