The fact of the matter is: it is an employer's market, meaning: they don't give a shit about you or me because 300-500 people just like you and me applied for the same job and you probably asked for too much money, (even though you don't think you did, someone out there is more desperate than you and will work for less), you have too much experience (6 years means you will want too much money), so they couldn't give a shit if they piss you off. They have supreme pickens'. Plus, I am looking as well (I am a graphic designer and our field has been hit especially hard) and one place I got a phone interview from said they had over 3,000 resumes come in. Although I did get an automated response before they called me that said they would only contact qualified candidates (I didn't get the job). So suck it up. IT SUX. Believe me, I know, I have sent out over 300 resumes in the last 8-10 months, and had 2 real interviews and 1 phone interview. Keep on pluggin' away.
And when it finally becomes an employees' market again, bend those mother f**kers over and stick up so deep they bleed.
