Job hopping sucks!!

Finding a job is not easy...
Finding the perfect job is near impossible !!

After doing a half hearted job search starting early 2011 and thru out last year, i can say that i no longer feel my worth. And i have started being less picky starting this year..

And what did i land? ONE interview after countless applications and rejection letters. ~sigh

lilo did warn me that job market is tough out there and she was right...

I always thought in IT line, moving jobs would be easier because of the high turnovers. Apparently... Not  :P
Starting last month, i have actually started to apply and look for roles rather than just wait for head hunters to call me (and they do weekly).

Each time i apply to a company or get calls from head hunters, i always feel that tinge of excitement.
But each time, i am disappointed :(

Yesterday was no different... I applied to a company for a role and based on the requirement written, i met all of 'em.

Lo and behold, today i received a reply stating a generic:

....And this is not even me changing role to a different product or scope!! *disbelief* 

Can anyone tell me what 'competition has been very keen' means? WTF

Double bummer :(
