What It Is
Write resumes and rewrite LinkedIn profiles for people trying to land well-paid jobs in a field you know, such as tech, finance, healthcare or management consulting. The creator says niche resume packages sell for $500-$2,000, and that adding interview coaching and salary negotiation coaching can make a $3,000 package. His example client, Davis, built an agency writing resumes for management consulting applicants and hires older coaches. He suggests a YouTube channel in the same niche to bring in clients.
The Pitch
The creator argues that people who have sat on hiring panels know what gets a resume thrown out, an edge a young freelancer lacks, and that clients pay well because the reward is a six-figure job. He says three $3,000 clients a month is a six-figure business.
Who It’s Best For
Experienced professionals and former managers who write clearly and know what hiring managers in their field look for.
The Truth (as we see it)
Resume writing is a real, steady freelance service, and specializing in one field you know is a sensible way to charge more. The $500-$2,000 prices and the client income figures he lists (up to $180,000 in a month) are his own claims about his coaching clients and are not typical. Finding clients takes marketing and sales conversations, and results are judged by whether the client gets interviews, which you don't control. Shane Hummus uses the video to promote a free live training and his paid YouTube and personal-branding coaching program.
