Profile

Hi all,
I’m not having any luck obtaining jobs yet. Would anyone be willing to check out my profile to see what I can fix to make it more appealing?

Thanks!

Cat, 

 

There really is nothing wrong with your overview, except the first line. Keep "passion" for other areas of your life. "With over thirteen years in corporate accounting, I have found my passion to be in small business." I suggest something like: "I have over thirteen years in corporate accounting and now specialize in small businesses.

(In your proposals leave out passion - even if the client demands it. Also do not go for bottom-feeder clients just to get your foot in the door.)

 

If you can show a portfolio so much the better, even if this is simply proof of your certification. 

 

This is only my take on it and I am sure others will give their views too.
