HOW WE DEFINE FLEXIBILITY: Flexibility means taking on 2-5 projects per month. Projects can take anywhere from 10-15+ hours each. Projects are due within 5-business days of accepting the assignment. Writers can work in any location at any time they want during that assignment period. As long as deadlines and quality standards are met, writers work independently. Once the client reviews the resume, the client gets 7-business days to ask for free revisions. Writers are expected to complete the revision work with a turnaround time of 1 business day (unless otherwise agreed). Bottomline: this is a contract role– you share your availability and we will assign you a client.
OUR WRITERS LOVE THIS: Writers do not have to conduct intake interviews—we have a dedicated and trained team of branding consultants who spend 90 minutes to 2 hours+ with our clients in structured interviews. Writers also do not have to talk to clients if they have questions or concerns about their documents. Owner Sarah Johnston is hands-on and always happy to get on a call with a client if they have questions.
There is no sugarcoating this—it’s a hard writing role. Expect a learning curve, and know that even the best writers struggled when they started out.
MENTORING: We’ve found that many exceptional resume writers may not have initially envisioned a career in this field. Therefore, we provide a comprehensive onboarding experience, which includes a paid training stipend and mentorship during the initial projects. This ensures a smooth transition and fosters professional growth.
PAYMENT: Weekly + above the industry average. Will disclose in the first interview.
CULTURE: Working at Briefcase Coach entails being part of a small, boutique executive coaching practice. While not adopting the term “work family,” we foster a supportive environment. The owner, a dedicated parent, maintains a flexible schedule, reflecting the dynamic of a small business.
