Very helpful but not necessary. likely dependent on the nature of the situation and others on the team could provide that specialization. people are generally slotted into work as functional specialists - supply chain / Mfg 4-wall / SG&A optimization / margin and pricing / finance transformation etc. typical to have 1 major and 1-2 minors.

does that help?

I have a period of time (~2 years) where I worked multiple part time jobs. One job was with a FAANG so that’s easy to put on my resume. But the others included a couple non profits (mainly digital marketing), then multiple contracts with clients doing things like business development, APIs, websites, etc. How can I combine these “side gigs” under a single title/experience? Business Consultant? Say I ran a consulting agency? Business Dev Engineer? I’m lost. I don’t want to embellish or undermine.

The company hasn’t had any new sales either. Start up CEO’s… be realistic or seek enough funding to operate.
