Virtual Resume Consultant
Why This Role Will Excite You
Picture yourself in your favorite cozy corner at home, coffee in hand, helping people land their dream jobs. That’s what you’ll be doing here. Every day, you’ll work with real people who are often feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or just plain lost in the job hunt. And honestly, seeing their confidence grow? That’s the best part.
We’re not about cookie-cutter templates or boring, robotic advice. We focus on real conversations, practical tips, and personal touches that make resumes stand out. Think of yourself as part coach, part storyteller, and part strategist.
What Your Day Might Look Like
Some days, you’ll be deep into a video call with a client, rewriting their resume line-by-line so it actually reflects who they are. Other days, you’ll be brainstorming career highlights with someone who says, “But I don’t have any big achievements.” (Spoiler: they do—you’ll help them find them.)
You might start your morning reviewing a resume from a marketing manager in London, then spend your afternoon helping a recent grad in Texas create their very first one. And in between, there’ll be quick team check-ins where we swap success stories—like how Jamie’s client got three interview calls in one week.
The Kinds of Things You’ll Be Doing
- Talking with clients to understand their career goals and challenges.
- Rewriting, editing, and formatting resumes so they shine.
- Giving real, honest feedback—what works, what doesn’t, and how to fix it.
- Crafting LinkedIn profiles that feel human, not like they were copied from a template.
- Sharing small job-hunting tips clients can actually use.
- Encouraging and motivating people when job searching feels hard.
Skills That Will Help You Succeed
You don’t need to be perfect, but here’s what will make this role a great fit for you:
- Strong writing skills (clear, concise, and engaging).
- Being an attentive listener who notices details others might overlook.
- A knack for turning messy career stories into powerful narratives.
- Comfort working from anywhere while managing your own schedule.
- Empathy—you’ll be talking to people in all kinds of situations.
A Few Challenges You Might Face
Remote work is amazing, but it’s not always easy. Some days can feel quiet. That’s why we make sure to keep the team connected with weekly huddles and casual Slack chats. And yes, there will be moments when a client’s job search isn’t going well, and you’ll need to help them push through the frustration. But that’s where your patience and encouragement will matter most.

A Glimpse Into Our Wins
Last month, one of our consultants worked with a teacher who wanted to switch into corporate training. She had no idea how to make her experience sound relevant. After two sessions, her resume not only highlighted her transferable skills, but she also landed two interviews—one with a company she thought was way out of her league. That’s the kind of transformation we aim for every day.
