The Retirement Resume Paradox

You have more experience than anyone — and that's actually the problem.

What Employers Wonder

  • "Why would a VP 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 passion aligns perfectly with this role"
It's About Passion and Purpose Now

After decades of career climbing, you want something different. We help you articulate that in a way employers believe.

1

Explain the "Why"

Your resume and cover letter must clearly communicate why you want this role — not what you used to do. Passion over prestige.

2

Right-Size Your Experience

We don't hide your background, but we present it appropriately. You're not overqualified — you're choosing something different.

3

Highlight Relevant Value

Your 30 years gave you skills that transfer beautifully: customer service, problem-solving, reliability, work ethic. We make those shine.

You'd Be Surprised Who We've Helped

Career pivots in retirement are more common than you think. Here are real transitions we've supported.

→

Executive to Retail

A former CFO wanted to work at Home Depot — talking to people about their renovation projects. We positioned his customer service skills, not his finance career.

→

Corporate to Non-Profit

After 25 years in banking, she wanted to give back. We translated her operational skills into non-profit language and highlighted her volunteer work.

→

Management to Hands-On

He spent decades managing others. Now he wanted to work with his hands again. We focused on his early career skills and lifelong hobbies.

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 meaningful work look like to you now? Part-time? Flexible? Hands-on?
  • Your Interests: What are you passionate about? What would you do for free?
  • Transferable Skills: Which skills from your career apply to your new direction?
  • Target Roles: What specific positions interest you? We need to tailor accordingly.

Questions We Ask

  • "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?"
  • "How should we position your extensive experience?"

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.

Which package should I choose?

Most retirement transitions need our 60-minute Professional package to properly discuss both your history and your new direction.

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.
