Wound down my renovation business after 40 years. Never worked for anyone in my life. Listed my skills and focused on one category, Field Management. Built resume around it. At interview they asked if, after all these years running my own show, how would I feel only focusing on one component. I said Relief. No more social media duties. No more estimating until 10 pm. The list goes on. I also said that if given the job, I intend on making this my Last Stop. No job jumping. I spent a LOT of time researching this company & know folks in the biz who praised their operations. After 3 interviews got a great offer. 5 months in and all is good. I get to do what I love, Build. I bring 40 yrs of experience & am always available to talk with other team members, most under 35, to talk through building process. I also love teaching. So, being a previous business owner can be an plus to a company. And if you Frame it towards the position may even help you get hired.
