Is a Resume Writing Business Right for You?

Editor’s note: This post is sponsored by Kara Varner’s Resume Business Building Academy. 

Did you spend a great deal of time during quarantine googling “work from home jobs” or “remote work?” Were you dreading the day you might have to go back to work or worried that you might not be asked to return due to “organizational restructuring?”  

If you can relate to any of these, read on…

Many of us have been there. With countess military moves during my husband’s more than 25-year military career, I had to start over each time we moved to a new duty station. Within the span of a few years, I often achieved a position of leadership in my career and then—you guessed it—it’s time to move.

Our last move was different.

I started my resume business part time, and I decided to retire from federal service early and work my business full time.

I have never looked back.

Starting a virtual resume writing business does not have to be confusing. I built a six-figure resume writing and interview coaching business without knowing it was an industry. 

I want to share what I learned with you.

“Why start a resume writing business online?” you ask? Here are five reasons a resume business might be right for you:

1. It’s mobile.

A resume writing business can be done from home, the beach, or at soccer practice, and best of all, when the moving truck pulls up outside, you just pack up your laptop and you’re still in business. You can still generate revenue during and after your move or take the time off. 

2. It has a low overhead.

The initial expense for starting a resume business online is usually minimal. Computer or laptop? Check. Training and guidance? Check. Internet? Check. Business phone (or a second line)? Check. 

3. You get insider knowledge.

You already have a built-in market. Military spouses have access to a clientele that transitions from the military every year that can easily become your clients.

4. It’s recession-proof.

With the current economy, layoffs, downsizing, outsourcing, business closings, and off-site manufacturing, there has never been a greater need for people to have a competitive resume. You can be the one to write that resume—and get paid. When the economy begins to improve, people are looking for even better and higher paying jobs and still transitioning or retiring from military service. New graduates and referrals add to your prospective client pool. 

5. You can apply your skills.

You have special talents and a unique background you can leverage as you help job seekers with their job search by creating professional resumes and career documents. From recent college graduates to mid-level professionals and C-level executives, job seekers need professional resumes and career documents to be competitive. 

 

If you have a knack for writing, enjoy working and talking with people, and are ready to take control of your schedule, your income, and your quality of life, then a resume business might be a lucrative business opportunity for you.
