I hate the job search process

OK, I have said this before and the more often I repeat it the truer it rings to me. If I were any good at selling myself in the job seeking process I would have already found work as a salesman. But I am not good at selling and lack the unending confidence required for those tasks. So I struggle with the persistant lack of responses to my resumes, lackluster offers, and uninspiring motivation to put in more work. For every resume I send to a reputable company for a position I am qualified for, I receive at least two invitations to begin a career selling insurance products. I realize that my skill base is rather non-specific and generally available in the marketplace. I would like to think that I bring a uniquely talented ability to the workplace however. Let's hope that something comes from this interview Monday afternoon. It sounds like it is truly the work I believe I am best tailored for and have sought for five years now. If not, I could really start over and hit the classes for more specialized skills to market. I am finding myself disenfranchised and hoping that something soon will reverse that pessimistic mindstate. If you are reading this and know anything about me, please do not make light of this in corresponding or speaking with me. I take this matter very seriously. Ever moreso as the sole provider in our little happy home.

Rejected. Again. No reason.

I thought I performed well and put forth my best effort to demonstrate my interest and ability. They did not apparently see it that way.
