So I recently moved back to Los Angeles after a few years on the other shore..

And I have almost a decade of experience in business management and strategic planning and execution, I worked remotely and in person for a prestigious management consulting & professional coaching organization right here in SoCal for 8 years, and..

Now that I'm a businesswoman and look like a businesswoman, I can't get any work anywhere.

It's crushing because they'll be so enthusiastic until they hear my voice. Visually I pass real well when I try but I can't exactly completely hide it nor do I think I need to to get hired.

It's not as if I'm walking or logging into the interview wearing inappropriate clothing or behaving inappropriately, and I'm feeling terrible about everything because between my wife/primary and I, I could be making enough to support us, and she's about to be working two jobs just to make rent.

It's terrible and I don't know what to do.
