Don't assume that everyone with more XP than you is looking for a job. Many of us are already gainfully employed. Many of us are in other fields entirely, and only come here out of enjoyment... sure beats crossword puzzles. ;)

Don't assume that everyone with more XP than you is a better programmer. That too is nowhere near accurate. XP means a person has a lot of posts that got positive reputation votes, and/or a person who votes frequently, and/or who is here frequently. XP doesn't mean someone's an excellent programmer... just a frequent PerlMonk.

Don't assume that better programmers will interview better than you, or be able to provide better resumes than you.

Don't disqualify yourself.
