i don't think you should write yourself off. when i left retail, i got a financial job. i had zero experience, but i gave it a shot anyway. i used similar experiences in retail, and real life (i'm very computer savvy).
i've not worked for three years now (kids), but i would use things like, putting together school curriculum (i homeschool). or handling the family budget to the point of getting us out of debt on a small salary. or my computer skills. or the fact that i co-ran an online writing community for a year and a half which required me to handle conflict (and we had it), enforce rules, and manage moderators.
sometimes it's about thinking out of the box.
