One conversation. Finished documents.
Tell us where you are
Send your resume, or what you have, and the jobs you are going after. A few lines on what you want next is enough to start.
A conversation
A call to find what your resume leaves out: the results, the scope, the stories you never wrote down.
Built in your words
Your career library, then resumes and cover letters tailored to your postings, each one checked before it reaches you.
Yours to keep
You get your own Career Backstory account with everything in it, so the next job takes minutes. You set your own password.
Three ways we can help
Not sure which? Pick “Not sure yet” in the request below and we will suggest one.
Resume Review
Send your resume and one or two job postings. You get a written review back.
- How you fit each posting, with the gaps named
- What is missing or undersold
- What to change first
Build
The full service: we build it with you.
- A call to draw out your experience
- Your career library, written in your words
- 2 to 3 resumes and cover letters, each tailored to a posting, in Word and PDF
- Your own account with the first month: 150 job analyses and 30 tailored resumes
Interview Ready
For a real interview on the calendar.
- Prep built from that posting
- A practice run on the hard questions
- Your thank-you and follow-up letters, ready to send
Rather do it yourself? See the do-it-yourself plans, or start free.
The ground rules
Nothing made up
Every line comes from what you tell us. Gaps against a posting are named, not hidden.
You apply yourself
We do not submit applications for you. Applications ask you to confirm they are accurate, and most need your own login.
No promised outcomes
Nobody can honestly promise interviews or offers. What we promise is the work, done carefully.
A few clients at a time
Each client gets real hours, so we take only a few at once. That is why there is sometimes a waitlist.
You pay after we talk
Send a request; we reply personally. Once we agree on what you need and when, you get a secure payment link.
Your account is yours
You set your own password, and everything we built stays in your account after the work is done.

Before you ask
Who will I work with?
Steve Cherico, who built Career Backstory, works with every Concierge client himself.
Is the first month really included with Build?
Yes: 150 job analyses and 30 tailored resumes and cover letters for a month. After that you can renew at $20 a month, or not. Nothing renews on its own.
What if you are full?
Join the waitlist. When a spot opens we write to people in the order they joined.
Do you write LinkedIn profiles?
Not as part of these services today. Your resume and cover letters are the work.
