Current Status

I've been seriously looking in NYC for about two months. So far I've mostly been applying for positions advertised on various art/media websites. I can't say how many times I've sent my resume out, because I lost count during the first week. I've had two interviews, both at photography firms that deal with advertising. I was turned down for one of the jobs, and don't expect to hear about the other one for a while (if at all.) I'm really discouraged, and quite mystified. I've got all these computer skills, I graduated magna cum laude from the top liberal arts college in the country, I have experience in a range of fields, and being so young and poor, my salary requirements are pretty pathetic. How am I not qualified to answer phones and make photocopies? Seriously, I want to know.
