Why compete when I can change the competition to be in my favor? That is what I am about! Tech has taught us that - and those that don't see such an opportunity to exclude themselves from competition by changing the game - are playing catch up for their whole career.
In almost 20 years I have almost achieved my goal that I set when I was 9 to be a know-it-all w/ degrees proving this. When you asked me what I wanted to be when I grown up I would say "A know-it-all". I have had a 15 year career with the military as a spook travelling the globe. During my time of service I collected degrees and have studied psychology, information technology, linguistics, law and life sciences. How do these various industries coincide with the work I did and do. They DON'T directly, but all these industries "merge" and assist me in being thorough with multiple POVs in anything I do.
I am the worst person to play trivia with (you will lose), I am loyal, outgoing, a social media commando, multilingual, cultural expert, tech junkie, well traveled, compassionate (I also wear my heart on my sleeve), love challenges, love to learn, I am a great problem solver and my motto "If I can't fix it - I know someone - who knows someone that can fix it." In other words, I have a stellar network with people for various industries from all socio-economic backgrounds.
I am what you would call impossible... What am I doing now? Trying to tip an industry on it's head. Breaking things - but with a silencer. I am NEVER short of ideas
I think I have enough amunition to succeed in anything. With my excellent multitasking, time management skills, project management, knowledge of human capital and experience in many industries across the globe ... I joined the most satisfying industry for someone like me --Seed.
People find my "resume" intimidating, hard to believe (especially when they get the list of transcripts and credentials), overqualified...and being a combat veteran - a risk. Though, doing the math-retaining overqualified extreme out of the box thinkers=lucrative results.
