If I were you, I would not jump to become worker to someone else. Try to spend most of your time by expanding your portfolio..
Freelance might useful to kill your free time if you're bored.

Your commitments towards the company would be issues..
Some might think u come just for fun only..
Personally.. I think u should find ways to make more $$ by using your existing resources...

i think companies will consider if u have the right attitude
At the moment, I don't have much options, I sit at home doing house chores while selling stuff on eBay and having rental income come in since I hired someone to look after my properties. I do consider myself easygoing and pleasant to work with, I can be committed to tasks and my English is superb. I guess I'll leave it to any company that I'll eventually attend an interview if they think I'm worthy of the job, it's just the lack of experience is what worries me since a lot of my "acquaintances" who are making less than I am say I should just sit home and don't find a job because I already have a stable income.

Similar things happen to my fellow candidates during interview session, he told us he got business here and there and making a profit of 10k per month. All of us were impressed with his talks. Then a interviewer asked one question that makes him stuttered, "if you already have high income sources, why u want this 3k job? You are downgrading urself" He said that he want to get experiences, expands business skills and bla bla bla. Then my impression changed from "Wow" to "....mehhh. this guy will quit his job if he got bored". In the end of the day, only three candidates were chosen, two fresh grads (including me), and another one who have 1 year exp. The business guy was not chosen.
Yeah, s|dE is right, better do freelance job rather than full time working under a company.
Noted, thanks! I'll try not to brag!

"Why do you want this job?" It's going to be a 99% certain being asked in any interview. Here's how I answer it in my previous interviews:
1. I'm a high achiever and always on the lookout to build up my skills. This client facing role will help me to achieve it
2. My work has started to become routine and I'm looking for bigger responsibilities in my next phase of career. Example of bigger responsibility would be something like regional scope or bigger portfolio
When asked what you've been doing for the past 7 years, you can always mention that you've been helping with family business.
When asked how much rental income you've been earning just say you want to keep it private
When asked how much salary you want, just say you leave it up to them as long as it's on par with market rate.
Just stay up beat and project some confidence when you go for interview.
That's very helpful- I really appreciate it, thanks man!
