Only to some people. *Others look down upon service people like us.
I'm a handyman and that's another word which gets scowls sometimes.

My truck signs say "Home and Garden Handyman; Hardscapes, Repairs,
Maintenance", but the last line says "Wishes Fulfilled!", and that
gets most of the comment by passers-by.

My recommendation is to find some more concise words to describe
yourself. * i.e: Independent Engineering Fabrications, Inc.
Whatever you're doing, describe it floridly.

Of the two, I'd definitely go with "jack of all trades"

Then again, a friend of mine used to have cards that said "Dragons
slain, maidens rescued. Special rates for groups." in small print near

Then there was Heinlein's "General Services"--the story ("We Also Walk

Call yourself a "Universal Repair Service", but then narrow it down for a
reality check.

You're probably NOT a jack of +all+ trades, but you do a number of them

You only put half the quote:

Jack of all trades, master of none.

When I hear about a guy who can do anything, I am immediately suspicious,
because if he was so talented, he'd be busy and not looking for work. *No
one, and this is MHO only is good at everything. *They may be experienced,
did some work in that area, or was just watching when someone else did it..

I would think better of someone who said, GENERAL REPAIRS. *Or better yet,
just put down what you really ARE good at, and stick with what you know.

My "not entirely a joke" moonlighting tagline is:
Electronics, Databases, Woodworking, Earthmoving
I have done (and will do) the first two for money. I keep playing with
the third one but have been leery of turning a hobby I like into a job I
might not, and the last I only do for me (backhoe, yes - giant truck to
haul giant trailer to haul backhoe, and license to drive said giant
truck, and desire to get mired in other people's noisome underground
messes, no. I'm also a good pick and shovel man, but nobody's going to
pay my rates for pick and shovel work, most likely - though it has
certainly come in handy on parts of my own jobs where the backhoe is not
the right tool for the job.)

As for moonlighting more directly in what I spend all day doing - not
interested, already tired of it. If I was more seriously trying to work
the first two I might remove the last two, but I'm not, and there is a
deliberate intent to point out broadness of scope. So far nobody's
called wanting an earthmoving job - they look for the folks who
advertise that in the paper and yellow pages.

...but, that's moonlighting. I can afford to miss a bunch, because it is
not my day job.

The woodworking "not quite a business" is itself also not confined to
woodworking, and I've borrowed a moniker from one of my 1860's lathes
that describes it better: "Maker"

A friend of mine who was an engineer once told me that when times are

When jobs are scarce and times are bad, you generalize and take on
many roles. He has his own company now teaching people how to kayak
and leading tours. He's now his own employer.

Whenever people ask me, "And what do you do?" I say, "Oh, pretty much

Once, I got invited to a party where everyone was from some other country
or another. I was milling around the back yard, some guy says "Hi," I say
"Hi," and he asks, "And what are you doing?"

I refrained from saying, "Standing here in the back yard talking to some

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.
