Bio or resume’.. maybe its time to get a job.
It may be time for me to get a job, being retired doesn’t pay enough to do all the things I enjoy. They say “get a job you are passionate about” it will never feel like you are working. Well, I love to write but no one is knocking down my door to offer me a writing job, so now what?
First off is a resume and I suck at that, so here I am writing my own bio for a job or career pitch as a consultant. Seems I have an uncanny knack to figure out how to make more money in business. This doesn’t work for me on a pension, unfortunately, the government doesn’t pay me enough to be old. Consequently, I have lots of time to devote to ‘consulting.’
How do you put fifty-plus years into a few hundred words? My whole life has actually been full of these challenges. I started five businesses from scratch (except for one) creating, molding, and learning, doing practically everything that needs to be done, to run a successful enterprise. Each of them was sold in time, as a profitable business.. no small feat!
I was in the beauty industry for a third of that time and then the food industry caught my imagination. Since ‘retiring’ I have turned to writing. There is nothing I haven’t done, well I have never shoveled shit, so I guess there are some holes in my bio. I have two great-kids and five amazing grandchildren, does that count?
Be it styling hair, which I was really great at, or feeding the masses, which I also learned to do better than anyone else, I just did it! I have dealt with Bankers and CEOs.. janitors and crazies, I have even hired a few of them in my time. So even if I haven’t ‘shoveled’ it, I do have that list.
Connecting with people is what I thrive on and it nourishes my soul. Mentoring, consulting, or just picking my brain if you will, I am a ‘font’ of knowledge. My ‘friends list’ is a pretty long one too and if I don’t know the answer to what I’m seeking, chances are I can find someone who does.
Writing is my passion, but so is meeting new people and discovering their stories. This is a resume for my new career as a ‘Consultant.’ Standard resumes are for the time clock punchers.. of which I am not one.
I have never considered myself an employee, the fact is I don’t know how to act as an employee. I would rather see the whole picture and what you want to achieve, I can help you get there, period! The best part is figuring out the why and the how. Trust me, making money is okay, BUT making PROFIT money is a lot more desirable and much more fun.
Want to find out how much I am worth? Hire me and let’s find out together!
