Hang in there, Annie. I'm in the recruiting business and jobs in this country are picking up. Folks who don't get one job often luck out and land another opportunity - sometimes it's all about timing. On interviews, just avoiding saying to a potential employer, "Hello, I'm Annie, but I prefer to be called Angelique - it keeps me closer to my inner Quentin." Eyebrows could be raised. Good luck.
Best always,
Sandor
