The blessing of Nicole Flowers Consulting is you get to work with me, Nicole Flowers, personally! Unlike other firms who churn out résumés and match you with “professional résumé writers” in your industry, you know exactly who you’ll get every time. We’ll have the 1:1 call together. I’ll use my 5 years of expertise across 45+ industries - along with 15+ professional years in people-focused tech - during the Q&A portion, and I’ll be the one to rewrite and edit your current résumé.

Well, I’ll say this: I firmly believe you can’t put a price tag on your confidence… and that’s what this service provides (as noted in many testimonials). Take a moment to reflect on when you think about changing jobs or if you’re in the right career… should you go after that promotion? What about your dream of switching from finance to tech?!
Then, inventory how much time it would take you to narrate your career story well (but concisely!) bullet by bullet so hiring managers and recruiters take notice and can fully imagine you on their team. How are you communicating your professional worth on your résumé? Finally, do you know exactly what keywords to use to get you past the applicant tracking systems (ATS)?
What are these hours worth to you?
Partnering with me as a résumé writer alleviates all this worry and the time it takes to process a storied, and sellable professional story. I will handle all of the keyword targeting for you and craft and articulate your job history in a captivating way. The bonus is the confidence you’ll feel after spending time thinking through your accomplishments and practicing answering questions interviewers have for you.
While I want to keep the price approachable, I also want to be clear: this is an investment in you! So, my honest opinion is to not spend upwards of $1K solely for a new résumé without coaching (and good heavens not $5K) but invest in an experienced writer (one you know upfront) so the money spent is only spent once. Like a perfect pair of jeans, who wants to keep buying the cheap stuff once a year? Spend a little more now to get the best the first time around. That’s the best way to ensure you’re getting affordable résumé editing and a solid career-focused résumé.

Depending on where you are in your job search, you may only need a few of the options listed in each package. If you’re unsure whether Clarity Coaching would serve you or if you really do need to practice your interviewing skills, book a free consultation to suss out the best option or check out our Testimonials to read what others had to say.

This call is intended for us to get to know each other a bit off the page and for me to walk you through the week-long upgrade process. If I have any questions about your résumé, I’ll get clarity here. Alternatively, if you have questions for me, we can talk those through as well. This call is not intended for us to walk through the entire résumé because we do all that offline!
-
This is a big one for many women transitioning careers… and I’ve got you!
If we have nothing else, we’ll use your LinkedIn profile as a jumping-off point (to at least begin with a template). Then, we’ll build out a list of things you’ve done so I have a foundation to use for my questions.
On that note, while we don’t offer CV writing (CVs are more detailed documents for industries like academia and science), we can help you translate your experience from a CV to a solid résumé if you're transitioning into the corporate world!
-
We’ll talk about the nitty-gritty of it in our introductory call but I will say this: This piece of the process is where the rubber meets the road and requires involvement from you! While I will be the one re-crafting and editing your bullets, I need background information from you to set you up for success and highlight your accomplishments. If you cannot invest an hour or two into giving details into your work experience, this may not be the upgrade service for you. I can always rewrite without your input but truthfully, it’s always better with the color you can provide.
-
Each upgrade includes one upgraded résumé. Though I suggest having only one résumé highlighting all your great accomplishments, there are times when career transitions warrant an additional résumé. And, if you want another, we can make it work at a discounted rate.
-
Each package comes with a customizable cover letter template with prompts from me to help guide your thinking for each individual application.
Since you’ll want to target your letter to each role you’re applying to (with different information from your résumé), I include recommendations on how to customize it to help boost your cover letter writing chops.
While cover letters aren’t as requested (or read!) as much as they once were, it’s good to have one should you need it!
-
Your résumé will be delivered to you in a streamlined, executive-styled format. You are more than welcome to transfer the résumé content into a different style after the upgrade, if you prefer. Here are some things to remember:
This particular resume style has performed the best and continues to be tested regularly.
While more design-forward résumés may look beautiful, they were likely designed in Adobe Illustrator or Photoshop and can work against you. They’re difficult for hiring managers to navigate and formatted in a way the ATS check algorithms cannot read, registering the customer as a lesser match for the job they apply to.
We never want to make it difficult or a chore for a recruiter or hiring manager to read through your experience. My goal is to make your résumé clear, concise, and a perfect marketing piece to support “landing the sale” (you!) in an interview.
-
Absolutely! You can book a Clarity Coaching package to clarify your next career goal through conversations with me. Defining your target role will ensure your résumé is as effective as possible. We’ll also discuss your current career situation, obstacles you’re encountering in landing a new job (or get you clear on what “next” looks like), and how we can overcome those opportunities together.
Another option is to add a Clarity Coaching session as an add-on when you check out ($30 discount) or book either the Goal Clarity & Focus or Full Career Boost packages.
“My original résumé was stale, wordy, and lacked a certain aesthetic.
Nicole was amazing. She understood the goals, laid out the process, and better yet, the end result exceeded expectations. Money well spent!”
