Amy was (and still is) a single mother and she had been writing resumes on the side to bring in some extra income. Rather than hurry up and get married (her mother’s suggestion) or spend a bunch of energy job searching, Amy made the commitment to just keep going. We discuss how working in her gifts has turned out over the past 13 years, the empathy it created in her for those clients who come to her seeking help with their resumes, and how to be patient with your family and friends who just don’t understand what being an entrepreneur is like.
Amy is the Owner and Director of All That Happens! at The Red Checker, and principal writer at MyResumeLady.com. She can be reached through her website theredchecker.com or on LinkedIn.
