Not getting hired at all.

Been A Freelance Web Developer, Graphic Designer and Marketer since 2001. I'm not getting hired as Entry Level because I know too much and I'm not hired as a Senior Position Because of my lack of corporate experience. All the computer jobs are 70+ miles from where I live. I am applying for everything here!!!!!!! General Labor, Construction, Restaurant Jobs, Dog Walker, Postmates, Car Washer, Sales, Pretty much anything close to where I live to make ends meet. I advertise on all classified websites everyday and send hundreds of emails a day to prospective clients needing web services. I talk to recruiters every day with no end result. Feel like my life just stopped and the whole world keeps spinning. Can't remember the last time I was happy or stable. I'm not on Unemployment, SSI or Welfare. I really want to work. Whats going on? Seems like I know too much for some jobs and too little for others.

Hope everybody that wants a job gets a job!

You do kind of live out there although it's a pretty area. If you don't want to relocate (and I understand because of cost of living) then maybe you should expand on your freelance skills. Do you code? You could freelance-- writing and selling code or see if there are any remote jobs for large companies hiring in graphic design. I've been researching remote jobs and I'm sure I've run across a couple.

If you your hungry enough, you will find work. You sound like an indoor person. Don't tell a construction company that your a web designer if your wanting an outdoor job. Tell them you are interested in starting at the bottom and gain experience. Humility is a path that leads to opportunities.
