Hoping to pick the Hive’s brain on a potential side hustle idea.
I’m an in-house attorney and worked in BigLaw prior to that. I often provide resume guidance, practice interviews, etc. for friends in BigLaw who want to move in-house. Friends identify the opportunities, and then come to me with questions on “how do I tailor my resume”/ “how can I prep for interviews”/etc.
One of them jokingly suggested that I start a side hustle doing this since friends of friends now have started reaching out. I honestly love helping people find their dream jobs in-house and am curious if folks might find something like this useful. Would you pay for a service like that? What would you want help with? Etc?
In-house now. Would definitely have paid for this at some point in my career. Things I would have wanted help with *from someone actually in the job*, not Career Services or generic resume people: tailoring my resume; how to handle some interview questions that chronically tripped me up; an appropriate level of jobs to target when moving in-house.
