I want to find a new position - I get interviews, but then they come back with some B.S. answer about why I didn't get the job when I know I was qualified and I presented well. Also, any tips for finding jobs out of town? I need some networking help. I am desperate. I have an advanced degree with a background in sales/marketing with technical writing/compliance experience. Thanks.

I have already started a business. I do not like it, and I don't get paid enough.

Don't start with your resume -- email the President of the company, or VP of the department you are targetting with an example of an important solution you came up with an implemented in your current job -- anything that will impress them in the email, and attach your resume to that or even just send the BRIEF info and offer to send your resume if they are interested in learning more.
Do research on these companies (read the most recent Business Journal newspapers in their region to see what their immediate industry is faced with and if they are in the news -- read the Press Releases on their company website) and tie your "solution" or accomplishment to something that can benefit their company or projects / products.
You cannot just send your resume to random HR dpts -- last time I posted a marketing asst position on Monster we got 400 resumes and of the 10 that HR passed on to me I met with 4 people -- ended up hiring the one person that was personally recommended by a previous employer -- that said, if you know someone that knows someone at a company that is hiring, that is always the best way to land a position.
Good luck!!

Start your own business. A job is just a way to spend your life sucking up and being an underdog. Starting your own business, you have to face reality sooner and better, and that will make you a better person. You will have lots of lean years, especially at first, but, in the end, you will be far more likely to have made the world a better place.
The most important consideration in deciding what business to start is to look into your heart and ask yourself what you would do with your time if you had enough money to never work again. Then use your creativity to find a way to make money doing just that.

I have recently come across an amazing opportunity to work from home for the 3rd fastest growing company in the world, which has paid out over 2 billion dollars to consultants like me in the last 10 years (serious income potential). If you feel you may be interested in this opportunity email me at tni_jjc@yahoo.com.

Start networking using the online job search engines. You can check various cities, states, or whatever the location may be.
You can also research companies through many of them - maybe do a cold call on one of the HR departments.
