I’m an entrepreneur and been mainly involved in local small-market businesses for the past two decades.

I’m looking to transition into a position with a company that is involved with larger markets and bigger projects—something that that has a larger scale than my past projects.

I’d appreciate any feedback or advice from anyone who’s made the transition and what roadblocks to expect knowing my resume will look very different than most applicants.
