Default Holy Frustration

Two months unemployed, TONS of resumes sent/jobs applied for, and not ONE single serious interview since the ATL job about 3-months ago. Today I get a letter turning me down for an entry-level auto damage appraisal job with Mercury Insurance. Feel like I'm at the end of my rope.

Shit, I bust my ass for two-years gaining the experience I didn't have when I graduated from college. In theory I should be better off than I was two-years ago. Nope. Doesn't make one shit of a difference. I think I had more calls from employers when I was wet behind the years out of college.

No idea what to do. I'm doing everything I learned to do with my career search class in college as well as heeding the advice given to me by seasoned professionals. Granted the job market sucks, but I'm sending resumes and applying for jobs that I am over qualified for.

What did I go to college for? Why did I bust my ass for the past two years? Just seems I bust hump and get shit on in return.

Sorry for the emo rant/post. The letter in the mail today was pretty much my breaking point for all this built up frustration.
