Well I don't really have any advice, just something that happened. I didn't lose my job, but my husband did. We actually met there. He had worked there for 10 years and then they canned him!!! So I was left there all alone to fend for myself, I felt like I was working for the enemy. We are pretty much blue collar workers. We were working in a Warehouse for a large home improvement chain. It was really good money for us, but then he was fired! He was making $20.15 an hour because of his loyalty, but that is also probably what got him fired. So while he was on the job search, collecting unemployment, I was getting my hours cut and we were watching our saving account fade away. So in return, I started looking for a new job. I found one, took the job, but it has its price. Since I'm in the National Guard, I found a job with the military, but now I'm away from home 4-5 days at a time, which sucks because we miss each other but then on the other hand, I'm making more money than I was and we are paying our bills. But he is still on the job search and his unemployment is about to run out.

I know this is going to sound WAY bad, but if you are looking for just a job to get the money flowing again and not a career, maybe you should dumb yourself down some in your resume'. If your resume' is scary people away because you are over qualified, maybe you should leave some of it out. I wish I could put it another way but "dumbing" is the only way I can think of. I hope everything works out for you!!
