Career help: I am looking for a decent paying job/career but there’s one problem…All the skills that I have I cant use on a resume. - Help.com

I’m sure many places would accept a master thief. Or assassin.

That’s all I have. Sorry. :(

Or international super spy.

Get a job in sales? Start easy, build a reputation and move up from there. If you are as good as you seem to believe, you should be able to move up the food chain quickly into hard-core sales. High profitability, and many companies now offer rehab programs with their benefits packages!

Yeah if you are who I think you are sales is for you… I know of several people who had a whole lot of connections and for one reason or another had to get out of the business they were in and started selling cars. If you were able to support yourself with the other job you should be able to make just as much money selling cars to your friends who are currently raking in tax free money. And you are legal. One of my buddies started selling 300 cars a year and making $350,000 a year.

The advice I have might be pretty broad because I’m not sure on your work background, but it could also be helpful (I hope so anyway!).

If you can’t list your previous job for what it was, is there some way to rephrase the job title and description so that you can still list those skills? I’ve done work where the job title wasn’t specified and just made up my own job titles with a brief explanation of what I did in that role. Do you think it would be possible for you to do that? Or you could simply list the skills you’ve built up under a heading like “Other relevant skills/experience”.

Another option is to look into community college courses that will build your skills base and give you a certificate etc that you can list on your resume. You might also be able to get linked up with jobs through doing that sort of thing. Good luck with it, I hope you find a job really soon!
