Job Searching, for busy working moms.

How do I rewrite my resume for a new job when I’m a busy mom?

Nic Frick is a career coach who helps working moms update their resumes and find new jobs, online and in San Francisco.

First, you review the work experience you already have. Next, you decide what role you want. Then you write your resume for that role, not past jobs. Each step takes 10–15 minutes and fits around work and family.

FAQ

How long does it take to update my resume as a busy mom?

You can work in 10–15 minute blocks, so you don’t need a free afternoon. Most of the time goes into deciding what role you want. Once that’s clear, writing the resume goes faster.

What if I don’t know what job I want next?

That’s a common starting point. Nic Frick helps you look at what you’ve done, what you liked, and what you need now, such as pay, hours, or flexibility. Those answers point you toward a clear target role.

How do I explain a career gap or time away for my kids?

List the gap plainly. I’ve had clients use “Career Break” as a title on their resume and found it to be helpful for them to not have to talk about it and be afraid they would be “found out.”

Employers care most about what you can do in the role you’re applying for. A short, direct explanation works better than a long one.

Can I find a new job with better work-life balance?

Yes. Nic Frick helps you name the schedule, location, and flexibility you need before you apply, so you target roles that fit. That makes it easier to screen out jobs that won’t work for your family.

Do you help with interviews too?

Yes. Nic Frick teaches The CARE Method (Challenge, Action, Result, Embodiment) to help you answer interview questions with clear examples from your experience. This helps you talk about your work with confidence.
