I know, trite and contrived but appropriate given my current situation.

The company I work for just went out of business which means the job hunt is on.

I would love to tell you that this does not bum me out royally or have me worried as all get out.

That would be a bald face lie, I’m scared and bummed.

What is my reaction? Get busy!  

Iterating over my resume with what seemed like a hundred times, talking to recruiters I quickly came to the conclusion that my resume sucked.

 Why?

Yeah I’m geek but love to talk, teach think about business and marketing and engage socially and and…

So with the help of some people I know, trust and love, I wrote a profile statement I hope it captures some of who I am:

An experienced technology leader who brings professionalism, integrity and commitment to collaborate and partner closely with customers, colleagues, business leaders C-level executives; working to deliver people-friendly solutions that achieve and surpass client user experience and business and financial goals. A passionate, analytic technologist, relishing challenges and solving problems using global understanding and a willingness to grow professionally in order to conceptualize, develop and deliver innovative technological solutions. An energetic team and consensus builder, using strength as a trainer and communicator to motivate and enhance the technological productivity and skill levels of colleagues.
