Résumé Strategy & Review

Get professional eyes on your résumé — no matter where you’re starting from.

 Is This Session Right for You?

Whether your résumé is nearly finished or still a work in progress, this session is designed to give you expert, personalized feedback tailored to your career transition goals.

An expert career coach who understands how to translate teaching experience into corporate language will review your résumé and help you identify what’s working—and what needs refining.

This session is ideal if you're feeling unsure about your resume, want to make sure it's aligned with the roles you're applying for, or simply want someone to confirm you're on the right track.

Turn your teaching experience into a résumé that can open doors outside of the classroom.

Maximizing Your Session

To get the most out of your Résumé Review, we recommend using the Teacher Career Transition Academy’s résumé template and applying the foundational strategies taught in the Academy’s Résumé Workshops. This ensures your draft is built on best practices—so your coach can focus on refining and elevating what’s already there.

Resume Strategy & Review
“My 1:1 coaching session on Resume Review was outstanding! [The Coach’s] expertise, suggestions and guidance elevated my resume to a more competitive level. Each section was reviewed thoroughly and allowed for adequate time for tips, revisions and questions. Her feedback was clear, direct and organized. Her coaching was encouraging, motivating and inspiring. Overall, the resume improvements and job discussion gave me the confidence boost that I needed. I highly recommend.”

Resume Strategy & Review
“Lisa and the Teacher Career Transition Academy helped me to better understand what changes I would need to make on my résumé and cover letters so that I was more marketable. In education, one résumé and one basic cover letter pretty much does the trick but depending on what job you’re applying for your cover letter and or résumé could look totally different”

“I got a job! The Teacher Career Transition Academy really helped me tailor my resume to different jobs. If you’re considering using TCTA… do it! Money well spent.”

Frequently Asked Questions

What is your refund policy for 1:1 services?

We don’t offer refunds for 1:1 coaching services. If you need to cancel, you’ll receive a credit you can apply toward another service or a Teacher Career Transition Academy membership. If the new service costs more, you’ll simply pay the difference.

What if I need to reschedule my session once I book a time?

You may reschedule your session anytime more than 36 hours in advance using the link in your confirmation email. Changes made with less than 36 hours’ notice will incur a $50 fee. Please note that availability may vary depending on your coach’s calendar.

What should I have ready before my session?

Before booking your session, you’ll be prompted to:

  • Upload your current resume (make it as polished and complete as you can—this will help you get the most value from our review)
  • Complete a short questionnaire about your career goals and experience
  • Provide a target job description—ideally a link to an exact posting you’d like to apply for

Having these materials ready ensures your coach can give you tailored, strategic feedback that’s aligned with your career goals.

How complete should my resume be before booking?

For the most productive session, your resume should be as complete and polished as you can make it on your own. While it doesn’t need to be perfect, having all sections filled in allows your coach to focus on strategy, alignment, and fine-tuning rather than basic formatting or missing information.  If your resume is still in very early draft form, you may want to work on it a bit more before booking so you can get the maximum value from your session.

I’m not a Teacher Career Transition Academy member. Can I still book a session?

Yes! All services are open to non-members. However, Academy members receive discounted pricing on all 1:1 coaching packages. The membership provides ongoing support, tools, and access to live coaching sessions—so you’re never navigating this transition alone. Many members use these 1:1 sessions to go deeper on a specific area while continuing to receive guidance and accountability through the Academy.

Will the coach write my resume for me? 

No—your coach will not write your resume for you. This session is focused on reviewing your existing resume and giving you strategic, personalized feedback to improve it. You’ll leave with clear guidance on edits, bullet points, and formatting so you can make updates yourself—both now and in the future. Our goal is to help you strengthen your resume skills, not just hand you a finished document.

What if I need more help after my 1:1 resume session?

You’re not alone—career transitions take time, and we’re here for the long haul. If you need additional support after your session, you can book another 1:1, explore one of our coaching packages, or consider joining the Teacher Career Transition Academy for ongoing access to tools, trainings, and live coaching. We’ll help you figure out the next best step based on where you are in your journey.

Can I choose my coach?

Yes! After you purchase your session, you’ll see the available coach or coaches for that service along with their calendars. You can then select the time that works best for you, knowing you’ll be matched with someone who specializes in that area.

What to Expect

This is not a resume writing or finalization service. Instead, it’s a focused review and feedback session to help you move forward with confidence—so you can improve your resume using strategic, expert insights.
