Oh, one last suggestion.
A switch in mindset from "I really need this job" to something more along the lines of:
"I would be excited to work for this company because this is what I have to offer them, and I am positive my skills and talents will contribute greatly to the growth of this company"
reflecting on both your job search, application, interview, and negotiation process will do wonders for your career.
At least....it seems to work for me.
