How to Showcase Short Term Gigs As An Executive

Never let anyone make you feel bad about having a short-term gig on your resume.

Whether it's because you have:

  • held several short-term consulting gigs in a row
  • had a couple of full-time jobs go south due to COVID or poor chemistry.
  • or simply had a tough run of bad choices…

In this down economy, you may be faced with having to take a short-term gig, and you should never feel bad about it.

Never let a recruiter:

  • tell you to take less money as a temp (I show you how in the video)
  • make you feel like you aren't loyal as a contractor (I show you what to say in the video to prove them wrong)
  • tell your resume is jumpy (I tell you what to do in the video to make your resume awesome).

In this video, "How to Showcase Short-Term Gigs As An Executive", I show you how to focus on the positives of being a consultant, contractor, or temporary employee.

Why? I ran a consulting staffing desk and practice as part of my 13-year recruiting experience.

So, I've got you covered.
