I realize, not much of a "pep-talk" here, but hang in there bud...

Just a footnote, I finally got to talk to a human being at a nationally recognized "specialty retailer of consumer electronics, personal computers, entertainment software and appliances", (who's initials are BB).
Anyway, I turned in a copy of my resume and references, and filled out all appropriate paperwork, to schedule an interview.
The interview now will not happen because there is either a computer program or spreadsheet that is telling them that my "personallity" is not compatable with their standards to work at this store. I did not "pass" the personality test that is required when filling out an application.
So, despite 15+ years of retail experience, as well as retail managment experience, and personal recomendation from an employee of the store, I'm not Qualified to work there.
So a computer program is what decides who is qualified or not these days??? Anyone know where R2D2 or C3PO are so maybe I can bribe them with a quart (or barrel maybe) of oil to get a job???
