Getting a Job

I need a job... more so than that, I WANT a job. A nice, steady income, regular hours, that sort of thing. I'm a bright, intelligent, well-educated young woman who looks like a totally normal person and who went to a good school. I have a BA degree. I'm not a bum, I have a good work history...

So, how the hell do I get a job? All of the jobs in the newspaper are for secretary work, or for waitresses (and those all want you to be expierenced). I have absloutely *no* idea what I'm supposed to be doing to get a job.. the last four or five jobs I applied to I was clearly qualified for (overqualified for some of them, really) and I didn't even get a callback, just called them up a week after I submitted my resume` only to get a "the position has been filled."

I am torn between saying "fuck it" and doing nothing (which finanacially I can do for a while) and getting really, really pissed off at the fact that I actively want a job and would be great at a job, yet can't get a fucking job!!

Where should I even begin to start?


and if this has been covered extensively before, please direct me to the right place
