Together we'll create your
new life after entrepreneurship
A great resume helped me go from social services to Big Four public accounting.
Together we'll create your
new life after entrepreneurship
Hi, I'm Stephanie! And I'd like to be the first to welcome you to your incredible life after entrepreneurship!
I know the rush that comes with starting your own business. The promises of freedom and flexibility. Of being in control of your own destiny. Of limitless income and incredible potential.
But I also know the dark side of entrepreneurship. The frustration. The uncertainty. The financial instability. The exhaustion that comes from being responsible for everything. For many of us, there comes a point when entrepreneurship is simply no longer the right fit.
And that’s ok!
Because sometimes we need to let go of one experience to start the next.
Moving from entrepreneurship to employment doesn’t have to mean letting go of your hopes and dreams. Freedom. Flexibility. Incredible earning potential and the ability to chart your own course. Those jobs are out there! And as an entrepreneur, you’re an incredible fit for many of them!
But at the same time, there are unique challenges to finding employment as an entrepreneur. Sometimes it can feel like an uphill battle, and doubt can start to creep in.
Questions start to surface. Questions like...
Who would hire someone without a recent employment history?
Without a boss, who will vouch for my accomplishments?
How do I translate my skills and experience into the language of recruiters, hiring managers, and industry professionals?
How in the world am I going to pull this off?
Your questions and concerns are valid. There's no way around it. This is a big change!
But there’s good news - There is always a path forward.
You can have that dream job. You can live that dream life. And together, we’ll make it happen.
Let's tackle those doubts, overcome that uncertainty, and get incredibly clear about your goals. We’ll capture all of your experience and build a focused, targeted job search strategy. You’ll craft a powerful resume and nail those interviews. And you'll land a fantastic new position.
It's time for you to THRIVE after entrepreneurship!

SUMMARY SECTIONS -
A RECIPE FOR SUCCESS
(OR FAILURE)
Including a Summary section?
Channel your elevator pitch.
The Summary sets the tone for your entire resume.
It's a great opportunity to put your best foot forward.
But if it doesn't clearly state three crucial items, you've got a major problem.

STRONG VERBS? GREAT!
A VARIETY? EVEN BETTER.
Most people lean on a few, strong action verbs throughout their resumes.
These may be wonderful verbs.
But as they're repeated, the impact starts to wane.
If this sounds like you, it's time to branch out!
Here's some suggestions to get you started...

FORMATTING AND READABILITY MATTER... A LOT.
When you're focused on the content of your resume, formatting can become an afterthought.
But it matters.
It really matters.
It's so important to keep things clean and easy to read.
This means...

WRITE WITH THE INTERVIEW IN MIND
Most people think of their resume as once and done.
Get your foot in the door, land the interview, and move on.
Nothing could be further from the truth.
Your resume has the power to set you up for a successful interview....
IF you write with the interview in mind!

FOCUS ON THE VALUE ADD
Most people use their resumes to document.
Daily, weekly, and monthly responsibilities at past jobs.
Documentation is a great starting point.
But focusing on your impact will take things to a new level.
Think about specific situations.
Where did you...

CONSOLIDATE INFORMATION
I LOVE a resume that highlights past contributions and future potential.
But there are times when it's also important to document your day-to-day responsibilities...
... as long as they doesn't take up too much space.
So how do you handle past positions with lots of recurring tasks?
Combine them.
