@talanhorne,
Definitely all good things and bad things are coming like waves! Yeah I also was unemployed for a year of time and no one accepted my CV! Either it has higher qualification or lower! Anyway, then I got few job offers at once and I was again in a trouble to find a good one lol :D
Life is a series of good and bad experiences! But at the end either way you can make a success story!

Cheers~
