About Coastal Resume Consulting

Coastal Resume Consulting grew out of years of working side‑by‑side at the Cameron School of Business at UNC Wilmington, helping students turn drafts into resumes they felt proud to send. After seeing how many people in the Wilmington community needed that same kind of support, we decided to create a simple, online way to help.

Today, we work with new grads, early‑career professionals, career changers, and parents returning to work. You upload your materials and answer a few targeted questions; we review everything carefully and send you a personalized video walking through what to change and why, along with written notes and a revised document or template you can use as a guide. Our goal is to make resume and LinkedIn help feel less overwhelming and more doable, so you can move forward with confidence.
