I recently relocated to a small city from a metropolitan city where I managed a family owned company for several years. During that time, I did work for two other companies; I learned a lot from both in a very short period of time, and left both positions respectfully.
So now I find myself in this town with a wealth of skills, wondering how to get a job. In addition to my experience as a manager, I also studied Public Admin. and Communications in college. I've applied for two jobs that were interesting to me, and was rejected for both. I called one employer who told me that my old salary was a consideration. I didn't expect to make my old salary here; they just looked at what I was making and took me out of the running. Also, it was an entry level position (which I didn't know until I called), so I was overqualified.
I'm at a point in my life where I want to love the job; the money is secondary. How do I over come the wage/experience hurdle and at least get in the door?
