I've never been a job snob. It's always better to have a job than not, but some employers are just not worth working for, and you can tell who they are. The ones that hold 'auditions' and 'selection processes' for housekeeping jobs would have to be up there near the top, I have to say.
Why don't you try putting up little notices offering your services as a dogwalker/babysitter/housekeeper/bottlewasher for your local neighbourhood, or on the local internet bulletin-board service? Even one little insignificant job gets you out of the house and keeps you positive about making some sort of contribution to others. And you get a pittance in return, which is better than nothing. People are less snobby than you might think. They will see that you weren't idle and you stayed positive and hopeful and active when it comes time to consider you for bigger jobs.
