Ballard News-Tribune: 23-year-old creates her own dream job

Michael Harthorne writes in an article on the Ballard News-Tribune:

At only 23-years-old, while many recent college graduates are taking jobs they hate or struggling to find work, Danielle Harvey opened her own businesses because, really, how hard could it be?

Harvey, an action sports enthusiast who grew up in Spokane, graduated from the University of Washington with a degree in Comparitive History of Ideas (“How much more humanities can you get?”) and was having little luck finding work.

“I couldn’t even get a job I didn’t want,” she said.

The rest of the article walks you through several of the steps Danielle took from designing her first business cards to planning the grand opening of a new yoga studio.

People might have told Danielle that opening a studio happens when someone is 35, not 23, but she didn’t let the naysayers deter her.

Entrepreneurs have always been the engine of job growth, and yet opening a new business in an economic downturn requires a ton of courage, hard work, and smart planning. Danielle’s story may be increasingly common, but it’s nevertheless an inspiration.

B. M., General Contractor:

Thank you very much for your help. My husband was very excited excited to see the result! Being a business owner, he hadn’t needed a resume before but it is necessary now. On another note, I have referred you to my boss …

A. T., Food and Beverages Professional:

I don’t have consistent job experience in any one field and was finding it difficult to find work with my mixed history. Joe wrote me a resume and cover letter and I almost instantly started receiving more attention from prospective employers. Several of the following companies that I interviewed with commented on the quality of my resume or cover letter and I soon found work in the exact niche that I was looking for. I would recommend Joe Perez to anyone.

D. O., Air Traffic Controller:

Joe, you’re awesome!

K.P., Coach / Educator:

As a resume writer, Joseph’s work is superlative. Resumes are as much a personal document as a professional one. In a sense, resumes tell a potential employer who you are, as well as what you have to offer that employer, in a very short space. Working with Joseph, I felt that he REALLY LISTENED to what I wanted and what I could offer, and was able to design a concise, well-written resume that accurately reflects who I am and what I can offer. I highly recommend Joseph as a resume consultant and writer
