I Quit My Job Amid A Recession

What was I thinking? I was tired of being bullied around by folks that think they can treat you anyway they want because you will take it, after all we are in a recession. My physical and mental well being was deteriorating. I gave my two weeks notice and now I am out of a job. I have never had a problem finding work before. I hate to brag but I am intelligent, good looking, and dog gone it people like me. Well that is what I thought before going on almost ten interviews and no job offers. Maybe I give off an aura that I think I am better than the job I am applying for, well because I am. But in this economy I am willing to take a pay cut to get my foot in the door to a good company. When I say a "good company" I am really meaning one that actually cares about their employees and doesn't treat them like another work horse. I am afraid there is no job out there like that these days. I am sure there is but the people in these positions aren't going anywhere because of the scarce amount of jobs out there and the abundants of qualified people applying for them. I know it just takes time and I should take a part time job in retail or the food industry to keep me busy and to have extra money. Thankfully my fiance is bringing enough money in to pay the bills for now and I may have some other money coming to me that is owed to me. It is just very discouraging being turned down for job after job. Ugh. Today I was told by a job placement agency to tell the truth on why I quit my job. I was like tell them I couldn't stand the job anymore or my supervisor was treating me bad, and the owner said if you don't like it then leave. She said uh uh uh I'll let you know how to word that then she never called me back. Well I am not surprised. If I have learned anything in my life it is sometimes you have to lie and lie good. Someone will believe me. I just say there was no room for advancement and the benefits were bad. That actually is part of the truth. I could go on for hours why I left, but they say not to talk bad about you former employer. What do they want from me? I must say if a company is turning me down because of this answer there probably isn't any room for advancement and there benefits are terrible. If it isn't that answer that turns them off then maybe I really wasn't the right fit for the position in other ways. I just have to keep my head high and realize that being told NO or just not called back is something I am just going to have to deal with. If the manager interviewing me didn't like me then I probably wouldn't have been happy in the position in the first place right? I just have to keep saying I am interviewing them to be my employer as well. It just hurts when I like them and they don't like me back. Am I the only one out here in this situation?
