The repetitive job hunting cycle...

I have been unemployed for many years after college and this is the repetitive cycle that I go through:

  1. Send out hundreds of job applications.
  2. Get called/emailed in for an interview. (Maybe 1 interview per 200 job applications)
  3. Get a lowball job offer with a salary similiar to someone who never went to college or someone who works at a fast food place.
  4. Reject the job and the lowball salary offer.
  5. Repeat steps 1-5.

Anyone else going through this cycle?
