Struggling to figure out what level to apply for due to the job market and having differing experience in fields.

Struggling to figure out what level to apply for due to the job market and having differing experience in fields.

While job searching requires customizing resumes per application, my eclectic background provides a non-traditional career path with director and management levels weaved in throughout its trajectory. Having a background in branding, communication, marketing, media and during the pandemic financial marketing, the array of industries makes it harder not easier to find a job.

My last role was a director of marketing but thousands of applications later, I have either too much experience or not enough in that specific industry / region. I want to work and keep undercutting my level and salary in order to find a job. The only problem, that's not affording the desired outcome as the catch-22 rolls out the too much experience verbiage . I'd appreciate your advice.
