You are correct in the "zero employment" and willing to take a low-paying gig!! I am. The problem there is, I think when people see my resume' the assumption is that I won't TAKE, the low paying gig, because it's not what I had recently.
I've started to actually AVOID giving out my resume, on that basis alone. The pre-concieved notion that as a MANAGER, I was making "X" in salary, and therefore I won't work for "X/2" salary. Let alone working in a non-managment position. TRY ME, I Might!!!
The next problem arises, when I don't turn in a resume', with my applications, I have huge TIME gaps in my work history, and that brings forth other ideas that "disqualify" me from employment. Out of the frying pan, into the fire.
