Is it possible to describe yourself as a "jack of all trades" or a
tinkerer without evoking the negative connotations of those names?
Your thoughts appreciated.

How about.

Repair Service

My first choice.

Otherwise, the cross-examination would go something like this:

"So, Mr. Smith, when you proposed to do the work for Mr. Jones, you
presented him with a card that inferred that you were an expert in all of
the trades and fully competent and capable of fixing his problem. Is that
correct?"

pause ................

Repair service, or just state your strong suits. If you're really good at
electrical or plumbing, why would you want to dork around with some ditz
that wants a special texture, and is going to make your life living hell for
six weeks, when you could have made as much money in two days on the
electrical or plumbing?

I rest my case, Your Honor.
