You really shouldn't be looking for a job, you should be creating one......It's always best to start at the top of the food chain.

And I like your persistance but this is the wrong place for it. You need to be in the marketplace with that persistance.

"You really shouldn't be looking for a job, you should be creating one.."

You should expand on that advice, since its so unorthodox.

Well, the quickest way to create a job is to create one for yourself. This can be done many ways but here are two of the simplest. Pick one thing and become an expert at that. It could be as simple as "I only do email signatures....but my email signatures have a 97% click through/conversion rate." It does not need to be profound or exciting but you can then market yourself as THEE guy that does X. And when I want X done I will know that you are my guy and I will most likely tell everyone that has a need for X that you are the guy to call regardless of what you're charging. Specialties usually breed efficiency which will allow you to compete at a higher rate of perceived valuation. It may seem a little scary to pick a specialty but I can tell you that I won't call a plumber for brain surgery and I wont call brain surgeon to fix my motorcycle. There is more work than you think for whatever you choose.

The second way is to find a specialist and create yourself a position as saleman of his specialty. You will then have created two jobs, one for you and one for him. See? Easy! Plus you can start that part time while you are busy perfecting your craft as whatever you want to be in life.
