1. Even though I studied a non-business degree at <uni 1>, I got interested in management issues during <experience 1> and <experience 2>
2. First, after my studies I started to work in the healthcare industry, took over the project lead of <project 1>, and made first arrays into leadership and problem-solving.... Second, ...
3. Throughout my resume I have had many diverse experiences and this is something that I want to continue as a consultant. <Achievement / learning 1> guided me further to ...
Cheers,
Florian
