Back in the day, I tried to take people under my wing, spend 10 or 50 hours with them. Then I hired some people to do work with me, so they could have some direction and could learn how to approach various tasks for themselves, build confidence etc.Judging from the responses here, it sounds like it's fairly difficult to find this kind of job.
I don't do that anymore because what I do now doesn't lend itself to that. I also don't think many guys here do that because it's not a business with a lot of continuity. Very few guys stay in PPC for 6 or 7 years, or SEO for a decade.
I'd try to endure that shitty job and look for internship opportunities. Don't mess around with low end guys, see if Cardine, Grindstone, Dchuk or Bofu have work that you can do for free for them. Anything. Those are all smart cats, and in some cases, you may get a chance to do some work for a real brand. Maybe they have some work for you, maybe you don't. But it's worth a shot.
If you can prove you're keen and capable, someone will want to work with you. There is a real shortage of guys like that in this business.
