the job search...now

I left my job a little over a month ago, due to complete BURN OUT!! I just couldn't go on another day. The first week of no work was great!!! Week 2 the reality started to slowly seep in, but not really. Week 3, a little worse, although I had been on at least 3 real interviews, and several informational interviews. Last week...YIKES! I have no job. A month and no job. A mortgage and no job! I am college educated, smart, really ambitious, great experience in the advertising and beauty world, tons of connections..I am just looking for a change. Is there no one out there willing to take a chance on me??? I am doing everything I can to stay focused and keep busy. Making lists every day of people to contact and network with. Perusing every website I come across with relevant job postings, applying to everything I see that seems to be a good fit. Headhunters. What else? It seems to be working, and then things hit a dead end. Not sure when the cut off is to just take a job temping as a receptionist somewhere? I am so confused.....I need some advice in a bad way! No one seems to be honest with me, just wanted to support my wishes to make a change!
