The Song Remains the Same

Well it has been a while and not because I have been particularly busy, just a little depressed. I was a little down for my birthday and Christmas and just did not feel like writing anything. Spent the holidays alone and caught up on some reading and watched some movies.

Now that I have said that things have not changed very much I am still not gainfully employed and am still looking very diligently for something to challenge me, which at this point would include anything under the category of employment. I have applied for quite a few entry level position but have run into a rather interesting but irritating issue. One of the positions to which I applied contacted me and the person stated I have more management experience than him so he would never hire me and the other response I have received concerned why I was applying for an entry level position when I have so much middle and senior management experience on my Resume. The person was wondering what I was hiding or what I had done wrong to be applying for a entry level position. When I explained that I have been applying for middle and senior management positions with no luck so I wanted to apply for something in the meantime until a management position comes along. The explanation makes total sense to me but obviously not to some people.

I have explored the options of starting my own business with some consulting work but so far this has been unsatisfying and the pay kinda sucks with customers expecting the world and paying fast food rates. I had a consulting business before and the stress and hours did not agree with me. I am not sure I like dealing with my own business and so I really want to find a job any job at this point, well pretty much anything.
