Don’s message to those seeking work or new business for their small business or consultancy:
“EVERYONE needs a current Professional Profile. Everyone. Why? Because you never know when your job will evaporate or you’ll need to put together a quick proposal that will help YOU to stand out from your competition.
Crafting a thorough Professional Profile(c) requires a person to take complete inventory of their most significant business accomplishments, and the skills used to achieve them.
This is not a generic, quick-and-dirty, plug-and-play reverse-chronological template résumé-writing process. It is not easy; it requires thought, time and effort, which I believe is why so few people have ever taken the time to do it. Having used this process to help people get interviews and business for over thirty years, I have learned the truth of it.
Over the past three decades, I have become an expert in crafting functional résumés, professional profiles that make people STAND OUT like ONE IN a million, not ONE OF a million.”
Be honest and ask yourself: How effectively, easily and compellingly can you speak about your accomplishments – the problems you have faced and fixed – for clients or prior employers?
Drop Don an email or better still, pick up the phone. Carpe Diem.
