As a matter of fact, one of the rst things that impresse d me about her was the moxie Nancy demonstrated by moving to San Fran- cisco from Grand Rapids, Mich., to pursue her entrepreneurial ambitions.  And I’ve always admired the drive that has led her to success in design, illustration and now in ne art. I’m also very familiar with the stresses and strains that self-employment entails. You’re rst string on every project, and “delegation” generally means asking your spouse to help move your work from your ofce desk to the dining- room table. Running your own business of any size takes skill, guts and brains  — but how does all that great expe- rience translate if you decide to take your game back to the corporate hierarchy? In this package, reporter Patty Orsini elds questions from entrepre- neurs weighing employment opportu- nities and answers from recruiters and human-resources managers who’ve helped senior talent make the switch from entrepreneur to employee. “Typically, the person who has pur- sued an entrepreneurial career is someone who is passionate about  what they do and is driven to create results,” Linda Hall, president and se- nior partner of Wakeeld Way Con- sulting in Rochester, N.Y., told Orsini. “Even if they have decided … they need to pursue a corporate job, they need to keep in mind this is one more business decision.” Make It Work By Matthew Rothenberg, Editor -in-Chief, T heLadders.com IN THIS PACKAGE: ILLUSTRATION:Ch ip Buchanan E N T E R P R I S E Entrepreneurs have plenty to offer the senio r ranks of corporati ons.
