If you have too much experience you're over qualified for any smaller jobs, and you have to compete with 7-800 people for the good jobs.

I went to a job fair a month ago and counted of in groups of 50ish, 700 people there to meet 8 employers filling 10 jobs.
So ya gotta take anything now, shitty or not.
That's almost as long I looked until I got the job I have now. The difference between looking for a better job and not looking for a better job is miles and miles wide. At least you're being proactive. It may look the same on the face of it, but it's a completely different mind set.
