That really depends on the company you are applying for, whether they
value entrepreneurship in their employees, some companies don't
unfortunately.

Interesting suggestion. When should I keep those skills in and when should I not include it? Should it be based on if I'm interviewing for large or small companies? Also, why would they fear these qualities?

Thanks for help!

Rishi,

The only thing I saw, which may throw some employers off is your entrepreneurial skills. Some employers embrace those qualities and some fear them. Tread lightly here.

One thing you see too often is laziness in prepping a resume: typos, wrong email, or just not being tailored to the job. As you said, if you want an interview, you have to go out of your way to make yourself known, and that also extends to going out of your way to make sure you made your resume really speak to the position.

Nice post, Derek
