Reflecting on the journey

Becoming a resume writer began with a strong fascination with entrepreneurship. The idea of being your own boss was deeply attractive to me.

I didn’t originally envision fulfilling this dream through resume writing. The very first sketches had me as a copywriter for life coaches. I also thought about becoming a ghostwriter for authors in the self-help world.

I fell into resume writing gradually. It started with me helping colleagues with their resumes. Then, I turned the work into a side-hustle and supplemented my income with occasional client work.

There came a point in the journey where I felt ready to leave my 9-to-5, so that’s what I did. I kept up with resume writing because it both paid the bills and allowed me to pursue a freer, less hectic lifestyle.

I support myself through the LinkedIn platform and through occasional projects on Fiverr Pro. I write content on a regular basis, and, as a result, potential clients message me here to see if I’m available for new work. This, combined with kind referrals from happy clients, is how I’m able to keep going.
