[LM_NET] Advice for interviews - urgent!

Hi everyone -

I am getting more than a bit frustrated and I hope that you can offer some 
advice. My first position as an elementary librarian did not work out. In a 
nutshell, I was fighting a losing battle from the day I set foot in the 
building. The administration set me up for failure from the get go and things 
went from bad to worse. I knew back in March that my contract was not going to 
be renewed and I have been looking ever since for a new position. I have driven 
all over Texas to interview after interview (I've actually lost count how many) 
and still have yet to receive any offers. I honestly don't know why, the 
interviews are going very well, and I am very careful not to talk negatively 
about my former employer or seem desperate to get a job during the interview. I 
have no trouble getting the interviews but I just can't understand why it's 
taking so long. I have one more interview this afternoon and I am getting pretty 
desperate as a I am running out of time and options. 

Any insights/advice you can give me would be greatly appreciated. 

Thanks in advance!
