Resume builder vs. career coach — which do you need?
A resume builder produces a document. A career coach guides the entire job search: tailoring the resume to each role, rewriting LinkedIn, preparing you for interviews, coaching salary negotiation, and building a weekly plan. Most job seekers think they need a resume — what they actually need is a coach.

How to choose
If your resume is your only gap and you already interview well, a builder is enough. If you're transitioning, changing careers, returning after a gap, or losing interviews at the final round — you need coaching.
