1. Get out and network.  Work will not drop into your lap, but if you know a lot of people, it makes it easier to find jobs.\n2. Continue to study.  If you don't keep up with the times, your consulting skills will be less useful.\n3. Keep plenty of savings.  There are periods where there isn't much work.  Make sure you have plenty of savings to handle the rent or mortgage when there isn't much work.\n4. Get yourself insurance.  You don't want to have to pay for any medical emergencies out of pocket.  Make sure you have insurance for the self employeed and take it as a tax deduction.

Work your tail off. Do the stuff that others won't do cause they are "too good for that". Take calculated risks and gambles. Develop a passion about something and know it inside and out. Make yourself the expert in an area. Never hesitate to help someone else and make sure everyone you know knows exactly what your business is so that they might either use you or recommend someone to use you. Think outside the box. Travel and get out of your usual environment to give yourself better perspective. Eat drink and sleep whatever the passion is...

If you are not certified, try to get a Six Sigma Black Belt or Master Black Belt Certification, an APICS CPIM or the new CSCP (Certified Supply Chain Specialist) and become an ISO Registrar.  It will take some time.  Use your own funds so no company has inherent rights over your future.  With all of those credentials, and your experience, you may go into consulting.  This way you will be in control of where, when and even if you want to work.  You may want start to publish about Operations and Materials Management applied to every day life (i.e.  Lean manufacturing principles in the kitchen) which will give you exposure and credibility.  You may also join the armed forces reserves like I did.

Since you might have gained domain knowledge from your work and being a commerce graduate i suggest you to take a course for functional consultant rather than a developer in FI-CO. You got a good prospectus for that in career wise.

I suggest working for someone to gain experience, then you should decide what business you want to start.  Don't go with somebody else's suggestion, follow your instincts.

get an accountant you trust or a firm that specializes in business evaluations to run through the numbers.. and then make your own decision by relying on your experience/expertise in your field.

If you want to combine your sales and stay involved in the education system take a look around your school.  What does a school buy that you could combine your experience into a great opportunity?  Art Supplies, Gym Equipment, Text Books etc.\n\nYou can combine both skills but step away from the educational system by working towards a trainer for a local company.  Most companies have some sort of training that must be done done through out the year like sales training, diversity training, or even the new sarbanes-oxley rules.  consulting firms exist that do nothing but go onsite to provide training for companies.\n\nIf you are looking to step out into something totaly different you need to sit down and list your skills.  To be a teacher you have to be organized and have to have the ability to plan ahead etc.  Once you have done this pop on to the internet and type the skill into search words on sites like monster and career builder.  Many jobs will pop up...don't worry too much about what you don't have right now.  Write down the jobs that peak your interest and then take a look at the requirements for each job.  Be honest with yourself with what you don't have.  Write those down and then look for ways to get that expereience. \n\nIf you want to make a career switch it will take time and some dedication on your part but it can be done.\n\nGood luck!

You should probably just say:  Nurse consultant.  Do you or anyone you know have the need for a nurse consultant?  If so, than you should contact me at (give your info).  You should give your education and references in a small summary so that they can see where you come from.

Just be direct with the consultant. Let them know that you don't think it's a good idea to engage in conversation with a customer. There are many reasons why; namely, liability issues. Conflict of interest. et cetera. If you are nice about it I don't see the problem. As long as you are not using intimidation or the like, the consultant should not be offended. I wouldn't think so.

I should be considered for the role of Recruitment Consultant because I am extremely honest.  As a specific example, I had a total stranger write my qualifications for me.

I worked for a big IT consulting firm for 10 years, then moved on to a "in-house" job. Whether you wanna go MCSE or System Admin is your choice, my advise is to stay in the consulting world. Once you go in-house for a corporation you're just like furniture. At least a consulting firm has to keep up with the market and the technology, you get exposed to more projects and more training opportunities. Good luck!
