Just my 2 cents...I've listed it before with no problem.
On an application:
Company: Independent Contractor
Supervisor: self-employed
On the application, you could possibly list some of the companies for which you've worked.
On a resume:
Independent Contractor
*Perform compliance and safety audits
*Objectively evaluate customer service
*Maintained travel and expense logs
Focus on how you find, schedule, and make routes of the jobs. How you keep track of expenses. How you network or find new companies. Use of apps / technology. Find the skills rather than try to fake results.
I you do have a story that you can show results, that could be used as a story during the interview using the STAR format. My only story was that a menu item was changed after performing an evaluation. I described why I was disappointed as a customer. The next time I went to the restaurant, the item had been changed.
I WOULD NOT FOLLOW THE ADVICE GIVEN ABOVE: Position yourself as an Independent Contractor or some type of Consultant (Business, Marketing/Trade, Shopping) with x, y, z years’ experience doing x, y, z. Play to your strengths. Make things as quantitative as possible and of course qualitative too. An example is Conducted/Initiated over 200 customary audits that resulted in an increase of sales by 15% year over year.
How did an audit increase sales by 15%???
I think positioning yourself as a consultant is overselling.
