How are you handling the stress of job search and layoffs?

I decided to not job-hunt right after I was laid off. Now that I’m looking I realize that there are practically no positions for my level of qualifications (marketing/sales management) and I am either over-qualified for most (coordinators) or under-qualified (directors, etc). So needless to say, I’m stressing…

How are you handling this all?

    Why don’t you take off a few things on your resume that over-qualify you? Being “over-qualified” = they don’t want to pay you as much, but if you need a job I think it’s best to take the hit in pay for now.

    Look at it this way, if you are over-qualified then you’ll be really good at your job and those promotions will come in no time.

    You lower your sights. That will increase your chance of success. Apply to work at a hotel job but keep your goal to become a manager as soon as possible..
