Small Business Consulting

September 20th, 2011 8:01 am


Small businesses are literally the backbone of America. Small business employees far more people than huge corporations. For that reason, small business owners are heroes. But they need help sometimes. The market changes rapidly, technology changes rapidly, and your competitors change rapidly.  That’s where small business consulting comes in. You can learn what actually works with other companies, and apply those concepts, or best practices, to your company. Business owners are too busy to learn many business fundamentals from the ground up. And it can be too expensive to hire full-time employees to do a part time job. For that reason, Small business consulting has been around since business itself

We’ve improved just about every type of business in just about every type of industry.  We’re not ivory consultant snobs, and we’re not glorified binder-makers. We offer real solutions to real problems. The process is as follows:

*Ask the right questions to learn your individual company “Gaps”
*Benchmark your company to other industry leaders
*Create customized solutions to fill your company’s Gaps
*Implement those solutions with your company employees and managers
*Ensure habits are formed and the solutions “stick”

Ideas are great, but are also in a very high supply. Implementation and results are what matter most. The industries we’ve covered include manufacturing, wholesale, retail, services, food and beverage, technology, insurance, construction, contracting, insurance, etc.

Task Oriented vs. Achievement-Based Resumes

September 19th, 2011 8:31 am


Most people who write their own resumes are unsure of how to best present their strengths, downplay their weaknesses, and appeal to employer needs. Common mistakes include the omission of important information and or strategic sections, the inclusion of irrelevant (and or ill-advised) details, a shortage of keywords, a failure to emphasize transferable skills, a lack of career focus and an uninviting page design. Perhaps most critically, the majority of applicants write “task oriented” vs. “achievement-based” resumes.

Some job seekers regard the resume as “just a piece of paper.” In today’s highly competitive job market where the typical nationally advertised position will receive literally hundreds of responses, it takes an effective resume to get interviews.

As a job seeker, you shouldn’t overlook the importance of a cover letter. If written strategically, a cover letter increases your chances for consideration, and provides an opportunity to highlight your individuality.

Keep in mind that the resume and cover letter have different purposes. A resume demonstrates that you can do the job, it highlights your past accomplishments, while a cover letter points out the extent to which you match the job requirements for a specific a company and how you will fit in.
