Re-package Equipment Trainer to Corporate Trainer

I think I have been trying too hard to go back to an industry that I love. I have to ask myself the question, "why did I love that job?" The bottom line is that I loved that job because I enjoy educating people. I get a thrill out of helping people understand a concept/task/device that they didn't know before. Using my creativity to develop and design educational/training programs gives me a real high. So why focus only on medical equipment? I have a lot of skills from my previous career as a business owner that can be "re-packaged" as a Corporate Trainer. I didn't spend ten years designing and developing processes, procedures and educational training material for it to all just go to waste now?

I found some sample Corporate Trainer job descriptions doing a Google search that will help guide me into developing my own corporate trainer resume. How are you "re-packaging" yourself? What resources are you using to help you?

Network to a job through Linked In

I’m still on this networking kick. I signed up for a score of groups on Linked-In because the “buzz” on the street is that Linked-In is the place to find a job. There have been a multitude of jobs listed for medical device specialists. That’s me! I have applied for this position so many times that the recruiter, Darren, in England pretty much told me that he would call me if something came available. He does not return my calls and does not return my e-mail requests. I want to scream to the world…THAT’S ME! I DO THAT! I am your medical device gal. I sent him an e-mail telling him we are willing to relocate, that my husband was a British citizen so sponsorship was not an issue, I tried to summarize my various unique equipment experiences, but ‘ole Darren just isn’t buying into me. So I have to ask the question, “does he really have a job available or is he just collecting resumes?” I don’t know. I always fancied myself a fine writer but now I question my cover letter techniques. My resume certainly isn’t cutting the mustard. I need to repackage myself. What about your resume? Are you getting enough responses from your efforts?
