There are many assignments to prepare us for the upcoming MBA program; I applaud Texas A&M for starting this process early many of my friends with MBAs have indicated that they were completely unprepared for the FALL interviews since the first few weeks of school were all about getting re-adjusted to school life.  One of my assignments is to write a resume, of course I already have a resume with exhaustive work experience so this assignment should be a slam dunk ... wrong. 

The criteria was to take my 2 page resume and break it down to one page with a Summary of Skills and simple Work History.  Basic, and maybe easy for a MBA candidate with 3-5 years of work experience, but how do I describe 12 years as a small business owner along with years in management with small firms. 

What I am finding is that I have multiple skill sets to serve multiple needs and that has become difficult to describe on paper. 

Need to do marketing?  I have written ad copy, PR, Blogs and publiched Whitepapers

Need sales?  I have conducted sales campaigns, made sales presentations, written sales proposals and made collections calls

Need training?  I have developed training material, written step-by-step user guides, gotten courses approved for continuing education credits, conducting Online and LIve training sessions

Need a speaker?  I have given lectures on topics ranging from technology to business planning to economics

Most everything you do as an entrepreneur is out of necessity not because it is "YOUR JOB" ... How does one describe Master of anything that needs to get done TODAY?
