Not sure what's happening there, but we've hired a few career starters recently and are usually fighting for midlevels. The market is crazy now. It's been candidate-driven for quite a few years but recently it's gotten even so. Hard to tell what you've experienced but please don't conclude you're worthless! If you'd like I'm happy to give advice/look at your resume, I've been a hiring manager for more than I dare to admit. My email address is in my profile.
