Jess – I’m glad this post was useful. It is a tough position, and networking well may be the best answer for you (instead of applying for specific opportunities). Take a look at my posts under the “networking” tab for ideas!

I have 10 years of experience in a field that has diminishing returns after only about three years of experience. I never find a job posting that specifies more than a few years of experience in what I do, and I’m pretty sure I’ve had no success in my job search partly because of this.

I especially like your advice to call the job a destination. The problem is I can’t even get an interview during which to say all of this! I have to cram it all into my cover letter.
