cant get employment

So I guess I just need to vent.
Back story I have been out of he workforce for a bit over 2 years. I have been applying and going to interviews but all I get is rejected. It's really starting to get me down I have completed study and applying for entry level positions. I have a skin condition which I feel is blowing any change I have of getting employment. So much so that I will am booked in for surgery because I get told I am perfect for the position and I tick all the right boxes.
I'm sitting here tonight with my baby's around me and my husband is away with work, all I want to do is cry and crawl under a rock. I want so badly to have job and help provide for my family, to help us get further ahead in life.

Is it possible that you're actually OVER qualified for the positions you're applying for? Many employers won't give a look in to those they think might use their position as a stepping stone to something better - the recruitment and training process is hard enough!

If you're getting interviews, ask for feedback on why you weren't suitable for the position. It might help to get you moving towards the right job. Don't give up!!

Its not you, its the economy. There just isn't enough jobs. I know: I have been looking for a job for 5 years. I haven't had an interview in nearly 3 years and rarely get a "thanks but no thanks response". Its tough. I have given up and am heading back to study although at 48 I feel that my working days my be over.
