To find clients, here are some of the best ways:

- College job placement offices - a great market as graduating students need to do their resumes so you need to either put a flyer or your business card or even post your ad in their college newspaper
- Local employment services offices
- Ask your friends to refer your services to others
- Consider getting a website. It can serve as an online brochure for your services and can also help you market your services
- Do press releases in your local newspapers or on the Web.

You may consider getting professional certification from the Professional Association of Resume Writers & Career Coaches http://www.parw.com/home.html . This organization provides the Certified Professional Resume Writer Credential (CPRW). Another organization is the National Resume Writers Association and they offer the Nationally Certified Resume Writer credential (NCRW) http://www.nrwa.com/ , the industry's first master-level, renewable certification.
Clients know that they will be dealing with a professional and expert in the field if they see you belong to an association and professionally certified

Gordon Said:

How would a business owner, all their life, write a resume to become an employee?

We Answered:

It should be achievement-oriented. It should elaborate on specific achievements for which he is responsible while operating his own business. It also should outline some of the skills, both managerial and manual, that he acquired during the course of his work in his business, because they may be transferable.

It should remain within the guidelines of a standard resume in terms of length and information. Certain categories concerning personal information and background would remain the same. He would maybe benefit from using a lot of business references who do not present a threat as rivals.

I think your friend should visit his local human resources office and ask whether any sample resumes are available for reference. I have found one on the Internet, but I think I have seen better sample resumes for individuals who have remained in the same position for a number of years.

As well, he might benefit from looking at different links on the web site shown above.

Having owned and operated his own business would not necessarily be a negative factor. I think it is more likely to be a positive influence, because it generally seems to be an indicator that he is well-motivated. How much of an influence it would be could depend on the type of job he is seeking and on the individual personalities involved. Whether he is over-qualified for a job would depend on the position under consideration.

Chris Said:

Problem writing a resume for business school, not enough stuff to put on it! Can i include a cover letter?

We Answered:

You can always include your job in a resume, which may give them the idea that you became interested because of your work. You can also put a line at the bottom of your resume in which you put other skills, and include your music along with any other accomplishments and information like computer programs, languages, etc.
