This Isn’t Just About Resumes Anymore

I started with resumes. Now I'm helping people rethink their entire careers. If you’re mid-career and asking “what’s next?”—this is for you.

It’s been a while since I posted here—and a lot has changed.

When I launched Slay My Resume, it was all about helping people look good on paper. I loved it. I still love it. There’s something incredibly satisfying about turning a career jumble into a story that makes sense.

But somewhere along the way, the real work started happening in the conversations before the resume. The “What am I doing with my life?” ones. The “I don’t even know what I want anymore” ones. The “I just need something that doesn’t make me feel dead inside” ones.

And I get it—because I’ve been living it too.

After making my own career shift (from tech marketer to recruiter), I’ve had to sit in that same space of feeling stuck, restless, and unsure what the next chapter looks like. It’s not fun. It’s not glamorous. But it’s real. And it’s what a lot of us are quietly navigating—especially in mid-career.

So I’m shifting, too.

Slay My Resume is evolving. I’m still here for resume support if that’s what you need—but I’m also offering something new:
1:1 Career & Resume Direction Sessions for people who feel stuck and want to talk it out, sort it through, and start moving forward—without needing to burn everything down.

Here’s how it works:

  • It’s a single 60-minute session
  • We’ll work through what’s not working and where you might go next
  • You’ll leave with clear direction on how to move forward—including what to do with your resume if you're planning a pivot
  • You’ll also complete a short questionnaire in advance so we can make the most of our time together

The cost is $149 CAD, and if after the session you'd like help building your resume, I’ll provide a custom quote for that too.

If this sounds like something you need, just reach out to me directly at hello@slaymyresume.co and I’ll send over the next steps.

More changes are coming soon. For now, I just wanted to say this:

You’re not the only one feeling stuck.
You’re not too late.
And you’re allowed to want more.
