I'm sorry you didn't get the job you were hoping to get. I hope things start looking up for you soon!

Been there, more times than I want to count.  Just keep putting yourself out there, you'll find something.

Meanwhile, have you tried temping?  When I was out of work I signed up with quite a few temp agencies, as it happened there have been quite a few times when I was either out on a long-term assignment, or where the assignment turned into a permanent job.  In fact, that's how I got into the job I'm at now.

Sorry, temping is working a temporary job.  Here in the US there are agencies that will match people to employers who need temporary employees.  Assignments can be for only a day, a week, or even longer - I had one that lasted two months, one that lasted a year, and, as I mentioned, a couple where I was hired when the temporary job ended.  I don't know if they have such things where you live, but if they do I'd suggest at least checking them out. 

One thing I liked about doing temp work was that it gave me the chance to see what kinds of environments and fields I enjoyed working in.  I've found I do best in a medium-sized office and work best with minimal supervision.

Thank you for clarifying, both of you , i had such a job 2 weeks ago i was paid per day, i was a phone operator, calling people at home to answer questions for some surveys. I used to have a flexible schedule and i enjoyed it a bit but my mom kept telling me that they won't pay me or that the salary will be insignificant at the end of the month since there were days when you could do only 2 surveys and rare ones when you could reach 10-12.

Some employers told me that some days they call and no one anwers but overall it was acceptable as a temporary job..I'm pretty sad i overlooked it in order to present myself to various interviews to greater companies in the spirit that i will keep up with their hoops. I finished by being rejected ..

Woundedpupuppy i have mixed feelings about it, on one hand the job that i lost fit with what i could handle, it was about moderating reviews on a travel site in French  and English.
It was consistent with what i've been taught previously unlike other companies that were more IT or marketing oriented. And i passed the first written tests, then the interviews with the agency and the last step was the interviews with their clients who are foreigners. They declined and it was very unexpected, i didn't know why and that's why i was crying, i was even surprised by my own disappointment because a week ago i would have taken it lighter if had it happened, i knew they could be fussy. But this time i let my guard down, i even came up late to the interview ( 10 minutes or so) and i overestimated my  language abilities in front of the employers who are natives. I must have been really nuts to do such a thing and if i cry is because i'm more aware now, i'm embaressed and it hurts. It all came to my conscience when i was washing my hair since i reached for the mobile while being in the bathtub..It was very funny because i had such a shock that i almost dropped the phone )

I certainly had to do with the bath too, the water and the fact of being naked in there contribued to my breakdown and to that painfull realisation. I woudn't have shed a tear if i had received the bad news while smoking and musing out of the window or while strolling in the parc..I guess it was about cleansing and i really needed both literally and metaphorically...
I guess people really cry because at times they don't quite accept the irony of their behaviour, their inner contraditions and the flaws, some minor things that are tremendous turn points at specific times. I, for example,  had always considered that vanity it's not the major flaw in my character, or one of the greatest things that made my life a hell. I could have always said it's the laziness, the dreaminess, the guilibility that put me in difficulty, never the vanity..but vanity is so great that blinds me to everyting around and when i suffer and i cry my eyes out i start to see the ugly face of this monster...

Keep your chin up, psychic_girl! I'm going through the same thing now since I'm about to graduate from college. Just know that you're awesome and if the employers don't see that, it's their problem. Keep looking, keep sending out applications, make follow-up phone calls if you don't hear back. Be assertive, ask questions, talk about your qualifications and achievements. It's tough out there, but I know you can do it.
