If you are a business consultant you need a top notched resume for your website and brochures, but it need not be in the strict sense of the word. That is to say you resume format will be more like a quick story of your business history rather than a resume with dates, degrees and such. Business folks who hirer you are not looking for a resume as much as a team partner consultant who knows his or her stuff. As a consultant you must remember that you are not sending your rsum to a single company in a single industry, rather you are introducing yourself to a wide range of business is in an industry or a subsector of that industry. Many consultants such as marketing consultants work in multiple industries and therefore a specific resume, which might be designed for a specific job simply will not do. Thus business consultants should not be vague, but rather all-inclusive. For a web site it is much better to have a story type resume, which has links to other information within the resume or story. This will allow the potential client to see the diversity and ability of the consultant. Please consider all this in 2006. |
