It's the same here. It took me a while to find a job after I graduated. At first it was because I didn't have enough experience for them (but how do you get experience if no one will hire you?) and then it became "why have you been out of school for this long and still aren't working". I did do some direct sales crap for a year and nobody seemed to recognize it as a real job, and it was always awkward when they asked for details (nothing illegal, just controversial to some people).

Hope it works out for you.
controversial how?

Lots of new living space down there and plenty of amenities in walking distance. If I wasn't set up with a home and being an older fart, I'd totally do that.

The company whose products I sold, some were of an adult nature if you get what I mean. I eventually started saying I sold bath and beauty products, which wasn't a lie, because I also sold lotions, fragrances, candles etc. Of course if they asked for the name of the company in the interview, I had to just say everything. But I have a feeling at least with a couple jobs I applied for I got rejected specifically because the interviewer had a "moral problem" with it.

Well that's no big deal.

And where were these companies you applied to that were squeamish?
