Feeling a little discouraged lately. Have been looking for some part-time work so I can supplement my income while still working on building up my business. Ideally, I'd find somewhere that needs me three shifts a week, evenings and weekends are fine, and if those shifts happened to be longer, like 10 or 12 hours that would be great.
My issue is that I've spent the last 14 years working in office-based engineering or management roles. So my resume is a bit intimidating. I need to find a way to market myself as a hardworking, mature and reliable guy. Unfortunately, I don't think I'm coming across that way. I've had two recent employers tell me I wasn't a fit for their "entry level" jobs because of my experience. One of them was a beyonder too.
I'm still looking into some temp positions, and I'm sure I can get work that way, but ideally, I'd find something more stable. I'm not looking for $50/hr or anything, I totally assume most of these jobs are near minimum wage.
