What to Look for in a Resume Writer or Interview Coach

Hiring a resume writer or interview coach is an investment in your career, so it’s worth knowing what quality looks like. Use the checklist below to choose someone who’s credible, current, and truly equipped to help you compete in today’s hiring market.

Six Signs You’re in Good Hands:

1) Credible certifications from reputable organizations
Look for recognized credentials (not a generic “certificate of completion”). Bonus points if they’re held to a code of ethics and continuing education standards.

2) Verified reviews tied to real people
Strong professionals have recommendations you can trace to real clients—LinkedIn recommendations, Google reviews, and Facebook reviews.

3) Ongoing professional development
The job market changes fast. Choose someone who attends conferences, workshops, and training sessions, and stays current on hiring trends, ATS shifts, and interview formats.

4) Proof they understand your level and target
Entry-level, mid-career, director, executive—these require different positioning. Look at resume samples, their specialties, or language that matches the seniority you’re pursuing.

5) Interview coaching that’s skill-building, not just pep talks
Look for coaching that includes: mock interviews, structured feedback, answer frameworks, and confidence-building techniques that translate on camera.

6) Ethical boundaries and transparency
They should be clear about what they can and can’t guarantee. (No one can ethically promise a job, interviews, or a specific salary outcome.)
