I would like an opportunity to take these skills and talents and use them in a consulting effort for a small firm, perhaps specializing in the area of organizational development. Your resume shows that you are currently the vice president of operations at a manufacturing company with some strong experience in customer service and distribution, as well. Plus, you have a bachelor's degree in psychology, all providing an excellent foundation for organizational development. I am pleased to see that you understand the concept of migrating your career in the direction of organizational development, because it shows that you realize that the move may be a progression, not a quick change from operations management to organizational development consulting. Before you begin this career migration, you must ask yourself if it will be satisfying to you to consult, and to walk away from projects without further influence on the implementation of projects once the consultation is complete.
Many people prefer the role of consultant, and operate more effectively as a strategist and adviser.
They take great satisfaction seeing their ideas implemented by others, and watching the managers they have advised succeed. If this sounds like you, then I advise you to undertake a plan of action that will introduce you to consulting in your areas of experience, as well as in organizational development. The first step in your migration will be a consulting position that builds on your experience in operations, distribution and customer service in consumer and commercial markets. Your knowledge of these functions and industries is an asset to consulting firms with customers in these industries. A good source of information and networking will be the ODNetwork.
