I'm so glad to have found this web site and your comments. I feel your frustration! I've only been looking for a job now for about three weeks but haven't gotten any opportunities for interviews. I do have a degree as well as 20+ years of experience. I have signed up and taken proficiency tests with 3 employment agencies. It was suggested to me to contact those agencies Monday, Wednesday and Friday and ask them "do you have anything for me yet" in hopes that they will get to know you and get tired of hearing from you. They will certainly be on your mind when something comes up. Good luck!
