I am an entrepreneur that has had a web/voice technology (web
development/ phone software (ivr) and st/com) firm for close to seven
years and am looking for full-time and or consulting work - due to
slowdown in work and the economy.
As I contemplated getting a job it occured to me I wasn't necessarily
sure 1) how to distill all the skillsets I have had to develop as the
founder/ceo/chief bottlewasher of my own firm 2) what job I wanted to
seek that would translate my dogged years of experience into the
utmost value for a future employer.
Though I am extremely proud to have had a small business that has
emplyed people, and survived long past the statisical death of 70% of
businesses - my weaknesses I would say as I seek these answers and
future work is that my "experience" is more intangible in that I
founded my business one year out of college and didn't spend 10 plus
years in an industry or developing a skillset that I can fall back
into now. I have directed work and overseen work rather than done it
myself etc.
What I do think I have that matches up directly with a job position
is
project management experience (managed over 100 development
projects),
client management experience (an obvious must when building a
business), business development experience (we have never had fully
dedicated sales so I handled that and recruited the people that did
help), and operations running the business up to now.
So I was wondering if anyone had any thoughts on this (job roles that
would make good fits). And if any suggested company roles tht I could
seek lended
themselves more to consulting than others. Much thanks-
