I really appreciate this breakdown! Finding work in particular that can utilize my natural skill set has been something of a challenge, and I've done well at that in some ways and failed in others. At one point, I held a job where I was the only employee in that location, running an entire department alone and managing projects independently (I was also given freedom to seek out and hire my own part-time staff when the workload became too high). That job was heaven and I was very productive in it. Unfortunately, downsizing during the recession meant that position went away, and I'd not found a comparable one since.
... I am going to get headphones. And possibly earbuds. They are my ears and no one else's.

The world is about to change in the U.S. There will be many jobs that become available in the next few days. So stay alert and prosper.
