AI tools you'd use

Why it works

The job market is more competitive than ever, and professionals willingly invest in services that improve callback rates. AI speeds up drafting, but only a human can verify that a candidate's actual achievements match the polished version — a mismatch discovered in an interview destroys trust and referrals.

How it makes money

Per deliverable + retainer

How to start

  1. Study 20 job descriptions in one target industry and extract recurring keyword patterns.
  2. Build a portfolio by offering free rewrites to 5 friends in exchange for testimonials and before/after samples.
  3. Create three service tiers: resume only, resume + cover letter, full career package with LinkedIn optimization.
  4. Set up a Calendly booking link and a simple payment page via Stripe or PayPal.
  5. Post before/after anonymized samples on LinkedIn with permission, tagging the industry niche.
  6. Run a 7-day LinkedIn outreach campaign to 50 mid-career professionals in your chosen industry.
  7. Use Claude to draft the first pass, then manually verify every job title, date, and metric for accuracy.
  8. Run each resume through a free ATS scanner and adjust keyword density before delivery.
  9. Deliver files in both PDF and editable Word format so clients can tweak for specific applications.
  10. Ask every client for a LinkedIn recommendation after 30 days of job searching.
  11. Add a LinkedIn headline and About-section rewrite as a $50 upsell to every resume order.
