Success For Your Resume

If you are an entrepreneur you have to remove anything, and everything from your resume that hints that you have big ideas. For instance, if you host your own email server, do not place that email on your resume. Make a quick Gmail email and use that instead. Also, I have had bad experiences telling interviewers about my websites, and servers. Do not put them on your resume. Although you can most definitely mention that you have server experience, but say that you did it for some company, or for a friend or relative.
The whole point is to avoid talking about your entrepreneurial tendencies completely! Companies want employees to stay around for decades. Their whole philosophy must be “why train an employee if they are just going to leave in a couple of years?”. The second a potential employer knows that you are an entrepreneur they know the second that you save up a couple of hundred thousand dollars you will leave to start your own business. YOUR POTENTIAL EMPLOYER DOES NOT NEED TO KNOW THIS. Be strategic. Do not let them know anything other than the false impression that you want to be employed by them forever. You need to make them believe that you have no other employment opportunities, and you want to work for them for many decades. Talk about their pension opportunities. Mention your desire for an IRA, or 401K. Talk about the long term benifits of the company, and possibly mention how you need insurance. Although do not give the impression that your main purpose for employment is just the health benifits.
Overall make the potential employer feel that you need them. They want you to need them. I’m sorry entrepreneurs, we live in a world where companies want sheep that are completely dependent on the employer!
