Moving to the US
The Charly Resume Method
Free coaching. No fee, ever.A South African CV doesn't work in America. We help South Africans starting over here turn their experience into a US resume that gets interviews, without inventing a single thing.
How it works
- Kick-offWe talk, you share your old CV and documents, and we build one complete Master Resume.
- Two rounds of editsWe fill the gaps together, with one-day turnaround on each round.
- Ready to applyA locked Master Resume, plus a short, tailored version for every job you go for.
Duties tell, accomplishments sell
Every line shows what you did, where, and what changed because of it. Missing numbers become questions, never guesses.
All work is skilled work
Running a home, a side business or a farm is real experience, and we write it that way.
Two tracks
A bridge job to pay the bills now, and the career you're really building toward, side by side.
