Profile: Diane has been juggling several jobs, but would like to combine her skills for one employer.
The problem: She has found it difficult to pin down exactly what she would like to do.
The plan: Diane doesn't want to be tied down at a desk, so she has decided to grow her business in new ways.
Experience
Diane Herman has experience in several fields. As a real estate investor, she owns six three- and four-bedroom condominiums in New Jersey, and assumes the role of rental property manager for these units. Her education is in economics and she is close to becoming a certified public accountant, lacking only some auditing work. She works part-time as an accountant for a metal plating company and is also a Realtor.
Career goals
Diane's multiple jobs overwhelm her, as she feels she is constantly working.
Her goal is to combine her accounting experience with her love of real estate and property management. She would prefer a more traditional 9-to-5 job with benefits in a large company, but does not want to be tied to a desk.
Obstacles
Diane has searched for a job when she has the time but has found it difficult to pin down exactly what she would like to do.
As a result she's had a hard time preparing a resume in advance without knowing which of her three jobs to address or what experiences should be highlighted.
