Thanks for sharing-- posting this on Medium is smart and takes a lot of courage.
This stuck out as me as a red flag:
"I can do any kind of technical support, virtual assistance or project management type of job."
People who say they can do it all are usually passed over because people usually can't do it all. Make sure each application is tailored perfectly to each position. If you are applying to project management, edit your CV job descriptions and application to focus mainly on project management-related stuff.
Don't say you can do project management and customer service. Hiring managers get a lot of general applications from people promising to do it all, when in reality they just want to determine your suitability for the position they have open in their other browser tab.
