Don't get too discouraged, searching for a job can be a real challenge, no matter how qualified you are. Find out what education and experience is necessary to get the job that you want. Then, get to work preparing for that job. Generally speaking, the more education and training that you get, the more money you will make. New jobs will require higher skills - especially computer skills.
Technical skills are essential.
If you are willing to relocate, you will have a much better chance of finding employment. Some cities are faster growing, more economically healthy, and have lower unemployment rates. It is generally easier to find a job in these cities. Fill out applications completely and very neatly. Doing a marginal job on your resume is a good way to get you screened out of a job.
