Yep. In my 11th month I have still only had 2-3 interviews for
positions I'm overqualified for but lack the requisite 5+ yrs
experience everyone wants. When my UI benefits run out next week, I
suppose that will be one less for the "unemployed" numbers, however
I'll still be out of a job. I am honing skills for my possible next
career. See what you think:
"Did you know you could super-size that combo for only $0.39 more?"
