I got a job this year at one of the nicest places I could imagine. Amazing office space, I get paid very well and people are throwing work at me now. One of the best decisions I made in a long time. It was hard to admit "defeat". Even though I still do alright at this, it's nothing like it used to be.
How did I get the job? It was available, right place at the right time, and they appreciated my skill set as an entrepreneur. I didn't bring a resume (they said they'd rather not have it on file anyway lol) and I told them exactly what I do. Better they know now than later.
I don't tell everyone there what I do, but it's not a big deal. When I gloss over it, I just say I sold everything there was to sell on the internet. Mortgages, insurance, products, just setup little websites to sell each product. That's boring enough and general that the conversation ends there really, or moves towards how I can help them with their website or whatever.
I think the key is to be confident and act like it's not a big deal. If you think it's a big deal, they will too.
Get out there, find something, and don't just look in the paper. Those jobs aren't for people like us. Just a few months in and one of my clients asked me to run a division of his company that has over 100 employees. Do you think if I was a regular university kid with no business experience they'd be asking that? I dropped out in grade 10.
And good thing they didn't ask for a resume, because I don't have one
