Working as a CEO, being and entrepreneur
- simonbarker87 13y agoI always say "I run a small company" and leave it as that. I've never really liked the term entrepreneur as it conjures up a certain image in people's minds and it's not always a good one in the UK. If people want more specifics I say that I am "a technical director, but in a 2 person company that just means I make the coffee before meetings!" I'm normally much more interested in what they have to say about what they do.
- agaton 13y agoStill, "I run a small company" gives me a certain picture just like entrepreneur does. I think entrepreneur in that sense are more open, yet positive.
- obviouslygreen 13y agoI identify myself as running a small company as well, and while it's likely to give some people a particular impression, I think that impression is likely to be a bit more accurate than "entrepreneur," which to me could have much more vague bounds for interpretation.

- orangethirty 13y agoI just say im unemployed. People dont ask anything else after that.
- corbett3000 13y agoI prefer to tell people I'm the Chief Email Officer. It accurately describes what I do most of the time as CEO.
