Resume help before and after your move
You do not have to wait until you have a Charleston address to get your resume ready. If you are applying from another state, I can help you communicate your planned move without suggesting you already live here. If you have recently arrived, we can focus your resume on the roles you are pursuing and the experience that supports them.
Moving with a spouse or partner? Your own job search deserves attention, too. We can identify the accomplishments and transferable skills that matter to your next position, including when you are changing industries or returning to work.
What we can work on together
Resume writing: Present your experience through clear, relevant accomplishments instead of a list of duties. Use keywords from your target job descriptions where they accurately match your background, with formatting designed for applicant tracking systems (ATS).
Cover letters: Explain your interest in the position and your relocation timeline. When your move is confirmed, give employers a straightforward picture of your availability for interviews and work.
LinkedIn optimization: Align your headline, About section, and experience with your target roles while keeping your current circumstances and relocation plans accurate.
Already have a resume? We can discuss whether it needs a rewrite, more focused content, or ATS-friendly reformatting. View resume services and pricing.

Questions about relocating and your resume
Can I work with you before I move to Charleston?
Yes. Contact me by email to discuss your resume and target positions before you arrive.
What location should I put on my resume?
Keep it accurate. If your move is confirmed, a line such as “Relocating to Charleston, SC in [month, year]” can clarify your plans. If you are still exploring a move, say that you are open to relocation rather than presenting a planned move as definite.
Can you help if I already moved and am not getting interviews?
Yes. Send your resume and an example of a position you are applying for. I can review how clearly your qualifications match the role and explain what I recommend improving. You can also use this resume checklist for newcomers who are not getting interviews to review your application materials.
Do you provide job placement?
Holy City Resume Services provides resume writing and related application materials. Hiring decisions belong to employers, and resume services do not guarantee interviews or employment.
