Wanted to mention, I did get a job recently, see my blogpost "I got the job, and how I got the job" http://anitatsalinas.wordpress.com/. I realize that everyone's situation is entirely unique, and may not apply to you at all. Still, might be a nugget or two in there...? I'm rooting for you! Anita Hello Norm,

Except they never sent me the rejection email. I had to call them to get the news.

I've been reading the Roosevelt Institute's blog on navigating the jobs crisis series, and it has a number of good articles that point a way out of this mess!

"Few things are as depressing as not getting a job you don’t want and are overqualified for." Nothing burns me up more than to have someone say to me "why can't you get a job at Walmart." Unless I totally create a new work history "something I am considering," I am not going to get hired. Plus, the money would be less than I am getting from unemployment. I am coming up on my six month anniversary. Your blog is so on point with things that are going on with my unemployment as well.
