2nd Resume Focus
Are You Targeting
Two Different Roles?
You Need Two Resumes.
A jack of all trades doesn't impress anyone.
Each role deserves a resume built specifically for it.
Add-on for existing clients · Starting at $159
2nd Resume Focus is an add-on service for existing clients who need to target a different career direction. When your resume was built for one audience and you now need to pursue a different job title, industry, or level, that's not a revision — it's a repositioning that requires rewriting the professional summary, rebuilding the skills section, reframing every achievement, and reworking the cover letter. We conduct a second interview focused on this alternate path and create a completely new resume. Starting at $159, available in your client portal.
When One Resume Doesn't Work
Sometimes your background fits multiple paths.
Here's when you need two.
Two Different Job Titles
You're qualified for Project Manager AND Business Analyst roles. Each requires different emphasis.
Two Different Industries
Your skills work in Healthcare AND Tech. Each industry speaks a different language.
Management vs Individual Contributor
You're open to leading a team OR being a senior IC. These require different positioning.
What Repositioning Actually Requires
Changing your career direction isn't a tweak — it's a rebuild.
Here's what your writer has to do when the target changes.
Your resume was built to answer one specific question for a hiring manager. Every word — from the professional summary to the last bullet point — was chosen to support that positioning. When you want to target a different type of role, your writer can't just swap a few keywords. Here's what actually has to happen:
That's not editing a resume. That's writing a new one using the same career history — which is exactly what our 2nd Resume Focus service exists for.
Revisions Perfect Your Strategy — They Don't Create a New One
What Revisions Cover
Fine-tuning the strategy we built together — clarifying achievements, correcting details, adjusting language. Your revision policy is for updating and refining the information already on your resume for the same target roles.
What 2nd Resume Focus Covers
A completely different positioning strategy for a different career direction. New interview, new professional summary, new keywords, reframed achievements, and a reworked cover letter — all built to answer a different question for a different hiring manager.

Listen To A Real InterviewWhy Generic Resumes Fail
When you try to appeal to everyone, you appeal to no one. A resume that's "pretty good" for two roles is perfect for neither.
- Diluted messaging
- Wrong keywords for each role
- Competing priorities
- Weaker first impression
- Clear value proposition
- Role-specific keywords
- Relevant achievements first
- Stronger match to job
New Interview,
Fresh Focus
Your second resume gets its own interview. We dig into the specific achievements and language that matter for this different direction.
What Changes Between Resumes
Same person, different story for different audiences.
Pricing
The 2nd Resume Focus costs roughly half your original resume because we've already done the deep dive into your career. We're not starting from scratch — we're refocusing what we already know for a different audience.

Frequently Asked Questions
When do I need a second resume?
You need a second resume when you're targeting two distinctly different roles (like Project Manager AND Event Technology Director), two different industries (Healthcare AND Tech), or both management and individual contributor positions. One resume can't effectively position you for fundamentally different directions.
How is 2nd Resume Focus different from a revision?
Revisions perfect your initial strategy — they don't create a new one. Our revision policy covers fine-tuning the strategy we built together — clarifying achievements, correcting details, adjusting language for the same target roles. 2nd Resume Focus is a completely different positioning strategy: new interview, new summary, new keywords, reframed achievements, reworked cover letter — all for a different career direction.
What does repositioning actually require?
To reposition your resume, our writer needs to rewrite the professional summary from scratch, rebuild the skills section with a completely different keyword set, go through every bullet point and reframe each achievement for the new target, reframe every role description, and rework the cover letter. That's not editing — that's writing a new resume using the same career history.
What changes between the two resumes?
Everything changes to match the target: professional summary positioning, key skills emphasis, achievement order and selection, keywords throughout, and cover letter. Same career history, but a different story for a different audience.
Why is the second resume less expensive?
Because we've already done the deep dive into your career. Your first interview captures your full story. The second interview is shorter — we're refocusing what we already know for a different target. Same quality, less time, lower cost. Pricing matches your career level: $159 (Early Career), $199 (Professional), $299 (Senior Leader), $375 (Executive).
How do I purchase the 2nd Resume Focus?
The 2nd Resume Focus is an add-on available to existing Resume Target clients. You can add it through your online portal at any time — during your initial project or even months later when your job search evolves. You don't need to decide at checkout.
Who typically uses this service?
Career pivoters applying to their current field AND a new direction, generalists who could fit multiple roles, industry changers targeting the same role in different sectors, professionals open to both leadership and senior IC positions, and clients whose job search evolved after their first resume was delivered.
