Job hunting sucks.

I went for one yesterday -- a little leave replacement job -- and received an email today basically saying I didn't make it to the next step. Reason? They are looking for someone with more experiences than I. Really? I have a pretty wide range of experiences. What exactly are they looking for? (Truth be told, I know I got a form letter. Still, it doesn't fit the bill. Imagine if I didn't answer questions that were directed at me but just gave any old answer.)

Having to hear from people in my boat getting jobs also continues to feel as though I've been kicked in the stomach. I really wish I could find an interview coach for my field. I know the right things to say -- I say them. My question is : what do I need to do to get a job?

This evening I applied for two jobs. This afternoon I applied to another job. Tomorrow I am going to start making phone calls to find out what is going on. I enjoy earning money and don't like the feeling of inadequacy I feel when I can't find a job.

Good luck to me.
