Sounds like you're having a really hard time.  I think interviewers sometimes forget that they're playing with peoples lives, not just filling a vacancy.

I'd consider tring the 'dumbing down' trick though - in a similar position I was turned down loads of jobs with comments along the line of 'we wouldn't stretch you enough, and could see you leaving after six months'.  However, I got a job within 5 days of dumbing down!  I had to start on slightly lower wages, but proved myself and am now on excellent terms.

Just a word of caution though - our HR dept. have strict rules for managers when it comes to pay increases.  My boss really had to fight to get me the wages he thought I deserved.  If you do 'dumb down' you might want to check at the interview what opportunities for progression exist.

Good luck with your hunt.
