Is this right for you?

Our retail resume writing service is for you if any of these sound familiar.

Your resume undersells the scale of what you've managed

You've led large teams, managed significant P&Ls and driven sales growth - but your resume reads like a job description rather than a track record.

You're moving from store operations into a corporate retail role

From area manager into head office - and your resume needs to bridge the gap between operational leadership and strategic capability.

You're transitioning from bricks-and-mortar into eCommerce or omnichannel

Your experience spans both physical and digital. Your resume needs to position that breadth as a strength, not a split focus.

Not sure if this is the right fit? Submit your resume for a free review and a specialist will tell you honestly what needs to change and which service, if any, makes sense for you. Start with a free review

FAQs

Frequently asked questions.

Do your resume writers have experience in retail?

Yes. Since 2011 we've grown our team to 65 specialist resume writers working across 72+ industries, and we've written more than 60,000 resumes for over 920 professions. We match you with the retail specialist with the most relevant experience for your role.

How long does it take?

Your first draft is delivered within 3 business days of your consultation call, which is usually scheduled for the next business day after you book. Express 1 and 2 business day turnarounds are also available.

Who will be working on my resume, and how do we communicate?

A specialist consultant in the US job market works with you from start to finish. It starts with a one-to-one consultation by phone or Zoom, typically around an hour. After that you can reach your consultant by phone, Zoom or online chat in your account.

Will my resume get past applicant tracking systems (ATS)?

Yes. Most employers and job boards use ATS software to filter applications, and most applications are filtered by these systems before a recruiter sees them. Every resume we write is ATS-optimized with the keywords and formatting your target roles are screened for.

Can I request revisions?

Yes. Revisions are unlimited. Your consultant delivers requested changes by 5pm the following business day, and we keep going until your resume is exactly right.
