Your post is quite disturbing. You have obviously invested time and money in making yourself as good as you can be and still not found the job you are looking for. I went into an airline in a lowly role and moved into the area I wanted at the very bottom and worked up. It was very much worth it for me in the end. I dont know if this kind of thing is an option for you. Do you know anyone who can give you an introduction to an employer, as like every walk of life that is helpful. Unfortunately once jobs are advertised you are one of many applying and just sending a cv out randomly is also not very often any good. I got into this line of work when the wrong side of forty so dont give up!
