Unemployed but not undone


Trying to get a job stinks. The whole process is degrading and makes you feel desperate.
Like today, for example, where I walk into a situation thinking I am actually going to have an interview and I don't get to talk to anyone at all. I am handed an application ( they already have a copy of my resume with all the same information) and told that if they are interested they will contact me within a week or so. And if I was really honest with myself, I don't want that job. If they offered me the job I would take it because they have great benefits and I need something to pay the bills. But how do I sell myself if I haven't sold myself on the job.
I have been through a few interviews recently where I realized I am too interesting for the job. It's not only over-qualified, it's that my rich life experiences can't really fit into a cubicle.
I can't sell myself well into a cubicle. So what do I do? Where do I go from here?
I know that God has a plan for my life and that I don't see the details until He is ready for me to see them, but that sucks too. 
I'm not giving up on Him, so I guess I shouldn't give up on myself either.
