Interested in starting your own entrepreneurial journey but unsure what to expect? Then read up on our interview with Jess Love, Owner of We Love Resume, located in Toronto, ON, Canada.
What's your business, and who are your customers?
I own a Resume Writing business, and my clientele is anyone who wants to find a new job.
Tell us about yourself
I'm a former newspaper writer and editor before transitioning to the Resume Writing Business 18 years ago. I'm motivated by helping clients brag about their achievements and secure jobs they never thought they would attain. Also, I work with lots of newcomers to North America. It's a pleasure seeing them gain meaningful employment in their new countries.
What's your biggest accomplishment as a business owner?
Never spending a single dollar on marketing. All my work is through referrals and reviews.
What's one of the hardest things that comes with being a business owner?
Being honest. There's so much misinformation and propaganda on the market, my clients often don't believe me when I'm being straightforward. They think the solutions are too simple, and I have to spend time helping them understand that resumes and cover letters are very easy to create but difficult to master.
What are the top tips you'd give to anyone looking to start, run and grow a business today?
Have generational wealth, ignore your friends for a few years, and focus on product quality rather than glamour.
