Is it normal to feel completely worthless most of the time. :/

I used to be able to get jobs in my industry quite easily, but I haven't been able to find anything since the recession hit. Company's won't even hire me to clean their toilets now. I have too much experience. I've been depressed for a while. Just wanted to know if there were others out there with a similar experience.

    Yes, I live in the UK. Moved here over a year ago from America. What I mean by too much experience is that they feel I have too much experience in another industry. They see my CV and simply think I'll leave as soon as I get a better job offer. Thing is, I haven't had any offer. :/ Totally serious. Trust me, I am not opposed to doing any type of honest work.

    you mean you have too much experience so they won't hire you? Or you just have too much experience in different working fields.

    and are you serious about the cleaning part?
    cuz here in the UK, it's hard to get a job and the fastest easiest way to get a job is to become a Cleaner.
    I know its crap, but if you are desperate for a job, start with a crap job.
    I once worked as a cleaner for a year, now moved on to a different job.
