How do you write a resume after being self-employed for twenty years?

Answer 1

I should be so lucky as to have a resume like yours! You have a wonderful opportunity to expand on so very many skills! This is just like the housewife of 20 years saying "how do I write a resume". Well, my answer would be to get on-line and find a good sample resume...then, elaborate on the skills that made your self-employment so very successful for 20 years (i.e., accounts receivables, customer satisfaction, paying for equipment/supplies, long work hours, employees?, payroll, product satisfaction, etc., etc. Your list is probably longer than any of us! Many times small business owners overlook the complexity of what they do for a living. You probably have intangible skills that nothing but "living life" will develop, (i.e., patience, understanding, motivation, inspiration, encouragement, anticipation, goals, desires, etc.). I certainly wouldn't underestimate your abilities to accomplish any task that you may seek.
