How to find a job after being self-employed

How to transition from being self-employed to being an employee

Finding a job after entrepreneurship

​As a result of the Gig Economy, the nature of work has also changed. Today, the number of freelancers or that of the self-employed is significantly higher than ever before. If this is your case, you may face obstacles if you ever try to get back into the corporate lifestyle.
 
As employers do recognize abilities such as decision-making, management, creativity, and more in a self-employed person, they also tend to fret and frown. They question other details such as business profitability or your coachability. In other words, will you be open to learn their ways and follow their rules? Will you be “coachable”?
 
As you think of updating your resume, you may want to implement these ideas throughout your job search efforts. Regardless of the length of your self-employment, the right attitude and some planning hacks will help you find the ideal job a little easier.

Preparing your resume

  1. Highlight your accomplishments. What you have done in the past speaks volumes about your POTENTIAL for the future. If there is anything bragworthy, it must be used to make you stand out.

  2. Present relevant qualifications. Your job may have entailed a variety of responsibilities. Today, your job is to create content for your resume in a way that it responds to prospective employers’ needs. Focus on the job description’s requirements and detect the priorities. Include those qualifications in your resumes. Don’t focus on your other qualifications.

  3. Brand your operation. Your operation IS a business, even if your office is in your Livingroom. Choose a name for your business. Be sure it is relevant to the products or services you offer. When you present your self-employment experience on your resume, it is always more impressive when it is listed properly with a business name, location, and dates, along with your title as either Founder, Partner, Director, Freelancer, Owner, Manager, etc. Pick a name that will help you brand your business.

  4. Build a reputation. In today’s digital world, one of the best ways to build a reputation for your work is to gather online reviews. Aside from the standard platforms where customers write reviews (i.e.: Google, Yelp, Facebook, etc.), there are niche websites for specific industries. For example, www.RealSelf.com is a site used for plastic surgeries or related services; www.TripAdvisor.com is a site used for the travel industry. Choose a few platforms to promote your business and inspire your clients or any other professional who has worked with you to vouch for you online. It will help you be a stronger candidate, as you move on with how to interview for a new job.

Tips for Networking and Interviewing

  1. Prepare to answer questions. Prepare yourself to answer questions about why you want to work for a company or for someone else. Your answer can only be a “positive” response. Answer the question in a positive way. For example, you can briefly elaborate on the fact that you need a new challenge.

  2. Be adaptable. Many employers or recruiters may wonder about whether you are set in your own ways as a self-employed person or if you will be coachable and trainable. When in an interview, do talk about your ability to adapt to changing demands and new or different ways of doing things.

  3. Corporate culture. Here is another concern… Hiring managers may question whether or not you will fit-in their organization or team(s). Be sure to do your part well. Study the company, its mission, values, and culture. You will find that proper preparation will often remove obstacles from even surfacing.

  4. Get recommendations. One of the best ways to find a new job is through referrals. A recommendation is still a very powerful tool and should not be underestimated.  Network with your clients for leads and ask them to have you in mind if they hear about any opportunities that may match your qualifications. You will be surprised at the leads that may come your way from those you did not expect.

  5. Prepare Your Own Portfolio. Once you create your own portfolio (also called a brag book), it will be much easier to market your services instead of just responding to job advertisements. Which companies interest you the most? Send them your portfolio to market yourself better.

  1. Expand your options. Some hiring managers will be more open to considering candidates with entrepreneurial backgrounds. If you encounter too much resistance, move on to a more welcoming climate.

  2. Don’t underestimate start-ups. Many entrepreneurs will greatly appreciate your entrepreneurial endeavors. Chances are high they will also understand your situation very well. Find out who they are and grow alongside them.

  3. Think long-term. In some cases, being self-employed may increase the time it takes you to find your next position. Maintain a positive attitude and surround yourself with supportive friends.

Give yourself credit for having the courage and creativity to run a business. As you re-enter the corporate world, look for employers who will appreciate your background and welcome the contribution you can make.
