MooseintheReeds, I hear ya. I am an attorney who's looking for work as a paralegal (want less stress). I've had several interviews but no offers. I've been looking for a job for about a year now I think. I tried to get a temp job for a bank working with mortgage documentation for something to do in the meantime, but the bank wasn't even interested in interviewing me. There's nothing horrible on my resume either.

I, too, have to fight feeling like a failure for not working. Fortunately I'm married so I'm not struggling financially, but I was raised with a very strong work ethic and I just feel horrible sometimes without a job.

All we can do is keep trying I guess. Like my husband keeps telling me, something will come through. Hang in there.
