i was a highly qualified job candidate and was applying for jobs i was mostly over-qualified for, but because i had little experience in that field (but lots in another), i could barely get my foot in the door anywhere for a year. eventually something worked out and i've been content with where i'm at. the application process is absolutely soul draining, interviews can be extremely stressful, and you feel bad about yourself the whole time. i wish you luck; many good people have been where you are - it isn't a reflection on yourself, it's a reflection on the system.
I am at the point now where I think I will just phone my prof and just literally start having a mental breakdown if that's what it takes for him to help me somehow. I know I can do things and it's literally killing me to get rejected to something like 'dishwasher' 'kitchen help' etc.
