FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
I ask a flat rate for resumes and cover letters. A resume is $30-45 and a cover letter is $15-20. I typically charge less for people just starting up and without tons of direct experience. You get unlimited updates until satisfied and then 2 customizations for particular jobs you want to apply for. For business services, I ask an hourly rate of $50.00 for consultation and advice. I can help generate a business plan and provide marketing recommendations including media, advertising and whatever else is most appropriate for your business.
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I stay current in business knowledge by continuing to attend SCORE classes, seminars and on line trainings. I am currently focusing on marketing and using social media to advertise and gain new customers daily.
- How did you get started doing this type of work?
I worked for 32 years as an engineer and manager. I decided that I was tired of the corporate world and its constant demands and challenges. I then decided to do something very different and opened a retail business. It is very challenging but I am my own boss and responsible for my destiny. I learned most of my business skills through SCORE which is an organization of retired business owners who volunteer their time to help future and existing business owners. I want to share that knowledge with others too.
