Why an Outstanding Resume is Not Enough to Get an Interview: Reason 5
Why an Outstanding Resume is Not Enough to Get an Interview: Reason 5
People who want to or need to “get a real job” after running their own business for a decade or more face problems because employers believe that they will not fit into the culture, won’t take direction, won’t sit still, will want to change things the minute they arrive and will see how the organisation can be managed much more effectively. Of course, the employers are right!
Entrepreneurs and independent business people can make poor employees because they won’t be told, can’t take direction, have no patience and are always looking to change things. Why do you think they went into business for themselves in the first place? Although not impossible, it is more difficult for someone who has been in the self-employed workforce for many years to get interviews than people who have in the employed workforce. Many employers ask: “If they are so good at running a business, whey are they looking for a job with my company? They should be out there making squillions or sitting on the beach with all the money they’ve made.” Potential solutions include identifying organisations who employ former self-employed people in decision making roles, identifying organisations who value independent thinking and entrepreneurial approaches, identifying start- ups and smaller firms who don’t want conservative employees, find ways to get a seat on the board of a smaller firm or invest in a business where you can have a substantive impact.
