Write out a list of every job you have ever had. Then write out a list of all your skills. Accumulate a contact sheet of every friend, relative, class mate, old friend, ex-employer you can think of and start making calls. Consider going back to school or starting a business.

In my experience most employers outside of aviation shy away from pilots. Create a new resume that does not mention aviation very much. Feature your other skills and past jobs as experience. List your airline jobs but I would consider leaving out the word "pilot" and use manager or something else. Defiantly remove any mention about flight times. licenses and ratings.

Hopefully by going through these exercises a career or plan will begin to stand out. usually it is something that is right under your nose. It is a long haul to start over after being a pilot.
