Interested in starting your own entrepreneurial journey in professional development but unsure what to expect? Then read up on our interview with Shanice Mustapher, Founder of The Write Way Resume Consulting Services, located in St. Stephen, SC, USA.
What's your business, and who are your customers?
I work with professionals ranging from Entry-Level level to Executive-Level, who are seeking career advancement in their current roles or career changes to a new field/industry. Our services include Professional Resume Writing services, such as resume creation and/or updates, LinkedIn profile consultation, and cover letters. Our guided program also assists professionals in searching for the perfect role along their journey!
Tell us about yourself
My career began as a healthcare nurse, and I have worked in leadership roles for over 10 years. As a healthcare manager, I often interviewed potential candidates for various healthcare roles. I soon realized a lack of resources for several that included interview skills and professional resume presentation. I began assisting and coaching employees, co-workers, and friends to fine-tune their resumes to reach their career goals. I took the positive feedback and created a business opportunity to empower all professionals I come across to provide knowledge of the types of career roles available and inspire them to become fulfilled in their work environment, which leads to a balanced lifestyle.
What's your biggest accomplishment as a business owner?
We pride ourselves on excellent customer service and provide a 48-turnaround time on all resume and LinkedIn updates. We have also served over 500 clients in the past 3 years since we have been in business. Several clients of The Write Way Resume have landed mid-level to executive-level career opportunities in some of the top national companies, including Starz, Amazon, Bank of America, UnitedHealth Group, and McKesson.
What's one of the hardest things that come with being a business owner?
Business is not always predictable. It's a must to embrace change and demand based on client needs. Several clients have asked for professional writing services that I did not initially offer. I have since added a few new available services, including curriculum vitae, follow-up interview letters, and job search openings list that has generated new client interests.
What are the top tips you'd give to anyone looking to start, run and grow a business today?
Get organized and refine your business idea. Once you have a focused niche, get started right away with your business plan and structure. Small steps add up!
