What We Do for Retirees Seeking Employment

Resume Target's retirement resume service uses a 60 or 90-minute interview to position your decades of experience for your next chapter — addressing the "overqualified" concern by clearly communicating why you want this role, right-sizing your background, and highlighting transferable skills like reliability and problem-solving.

The Retirement Resume Paradox

30 years of experience shouldn't work against you.
But without the right positioning, it does.

What Employers Wonder

  • "Why would they want this job?"
  • "They'll be bored in a month"
  • "They'll want too much money"
  • "They'll try to take over"
  • "This doesn't make sense"

What We Help You Show

  • "I'm here for the right reasons"
  • "This is exactly what I want"
  • "I'm not looking for the big salary"
  • "I bring value without the ego"
  • "My experience fits this perfectly"

We fix your resume with one conversation

Positioning Your Experience
For What's Next

Whether you want to work or need to work — we make your decades of experience an asset, not a liability.

  • Explain the "Why": Your resume and cover letter clearly communicate why you want this role — not just what you used to do.
  • Right-Size Your Experience: We don't hide your background, but we present it appropriately. You're not overqualified — you're choosing something different.
  • Highlight Relevant Value: Your years gave you skills that transfer beautifully: reliability, problem-solving, work ethic. We make those shine.

You'd Be Surprised Who We've Helped

Career pivots in retirement are more common than you think.

Corporate to Retail — Wanted to work with people, not spreadsheets. We positioned customer service skills, not the corporate title.
Management to Hands-On — Spent decades managing others. Now wanted to work with their hands again. We focused on practical skills and interests.
Full-Time to Part-Time — Still wanted to contribute, but on their own schedule. We positioned flexibility as an asset for employers.

What We Need
To Understand

Retirement resumes require a different conversation. We need to understand not just where you've been, but where you want to go and why.

  • Your Vision: What does work look like for you now? Part-time? Flexible? Hands-on?
  • Your Interests: What are you drawn to? What would get you out of bed?
  • Transferable Skills: Which skills from your career apply to your new direction?
  • Target Roles: What specific positions interest you? We tailor accordingly.

"What draws you to this type of work?" "What do you want your days to look like?" "What parts of your career did you enjoy most?" "What would make you feel fulfilled now?" Questions that shape your next chapter

Frequently Asked Questions

Should I hide my senior-level experience?

No — but we present it differently. We focus on transferable skills and downplay titles that might intimidate. Honesty with strategic positioning.

Will employers think I'm overqualified?

That's exactly what we address. Your cover letter explains your motivation, and your resume positions you as someone choosing this path, not settling for it.

What about salary expectations?

Your cover letter can address this directly if you want — signaling that compensation isn't your primary driver. We'll discuss what makes sense for your situation.

Should I include all 30+ years of experience?

Usually no. We focus on the most relevant 10-15 years and highlight skills that transfer to your target role. Quality over quantity.

Can you help with part-time or consulting roles too?

Absolutely. Whether you want retail, consulting, non-profit, or anything else — we tailor your resume to that specific goal.

Do you help with LinkedIn too?

Yes. LinkedIn Optimization is available as an add-on. Many employers check LinkedIn before calling — it should tell the same story as your resume.
