Its called invent your position. Do not just  take what is available and apply as if the job

Consider all your unique and valuable skills, they are enormously rare, focused and appropriate to a handful of business you either competed with, bought from and represented, or sold to. That is your target.Where ever they may be located. Even if you must relocate or travel.

You know strategies and information that few can duplicate that some of your buyers, clients and competitors would value quite highly.

Even if it is clear that your tenure would not be what we consider long term, even if it is unlikely you will be on a career path within the company, although it is quite possible. But you could create such significant value that there may be a place for you designing and implementing a  new developmental department only you could accomplish which you may want to stay with indefinitely. Senior sales manager, long term planning and growth,  vertical or horizontal expansion, mergers and acquisitions, whatever and wherever your skills allow you to add intrinsic value to your targets position, that is what you sell  and that is where you may work.

Its called turning your perceived disadvantages into a real advantage. Creating an entrepreneurial opportunity within a target company satisfying both you and your employer. You can create a compensation package based on the success of your program and be prepared to enter into non competes, non circumvention and non disclosure agreements, after all you are an entrepreneur.

What does this look like? Determine what your target company wants or needs, and then see how your skills and experience can deliver that objective. If you find a match, want to do it, and agree on terms and conditions that are favorable…sell the entire package. If not move on to another ‘buyer’.

Value added job creation, based on keenly developed skills and capabilities. Agree to a base pay and significant rewards for successful implementation. However be certain you clearly describe the results you intend to deliver, make them measurable, and the rewards you will receive based on success…make these measurable also. Put it into writing, have a thirty day ending clause, canceling all obligations not yet earned and off you go.

It is difficult to get a job in the normal meaning of the word,  as competition is younger, highly educated and cheaper…a tough package to compete with if you are an entreprenmeur. You come with too much baggage. But if you create a new situation to plug into,  one no one could possibly compete with because of your unique experience and skills, you may just create the job you want designed by you just for you.

Think about it, and then try it out by doing it. Target your focus and land a relationship.
