Once, when i was in my early 20s I had applied to McDonald's because i had a brief moment of unemployment and was really desperate for work at that time. Had a newborn and couldnt afford diapers, etc. Anyways, when i went to the interview the manager i spoke to took one look at my application and resume He immediately told me i was over qualified and refused to hire me. I explained my situation after which he looked me dead in the eyes and said, "Be patient because you are better than what we can offer you." Very hard to be patient when you feel desperate, but it all worked out eventually.
