First, I think it's really important to decide what you want from a new job. Do you want job satisfaction or just a decent pay check? Starting there, you probably want to think outside the box. It seems like you have experience doing paperwork and possibly have some knowledge of tax law, since you do imports. Maybe a company like HR Block needs people they can train (no idea whether they pay decently). > I've even been rejected by companies in my industry What about companies outside of your industry that have similar needs. Companies that import goods at smaller scale could maybe use someone with your experience. It might be a good idea to start looking at local job boards and look at the ads with an open mind. "Is this something I can learn with the knowledge I have" is a good start, in my opinion. This means you'll probably need to send out a lot of applications in order to find a company willing to take a chance. But those companies are often worth working at. Another option is to look at something completely different. Look at what market has shortages that you might be able and willing to fill. In my country, that could be pretty much anything that has to do with building and maintaining houses (painting, plumbing, etc.). Your country might be different, but these types of businesses are often willing to take a chance because they need everyone they can get. Also, because you're doing paperwork, you could pretty much look at every type of admin work. It's really hard to find people willing to do admin work and even harder to find ones who do it well. Maybe there's a law office or another type of company that does lots of paperwork that can use someone who's been doing that for 11 years. If you're not tied to the US, you could take a look outside the country. The UK is definitely in need of people who can clear freight through customs right now. You already speak English, so it might be worth a try to contact a company like that in the UK. If they really need people, they might be willing to help with relocation and visa applications. Finally, it really comes down to willingness to take a chance and fail. If you want to do something new that requires failure. If you accept that failure is inevitable when trying something new, that failure will be a success in itself, because you're doing something. Don't get demotivated by rejections, try something different, but keep trying.
