I feel for you, I really do! I have been through pretty much the same scenario that you've given above. For the past month or month and a half, I have been applying to around five or six separate...

Thanks emilee. I'm just very sorry to be the bearer of bad news like this. As for the companies I'm looking into, I am pursuing the very best of Highway Hypodermics. This is a supposedly private...

Just an update. First off, thank you all for your comments and insights. Just like JWRN104 said, I too don't feel like I'm alone in what I'm experiencing here. It seems like every time I allow myself...
