I'm sure you're more helpful than you think. A lot of folks that need help with their resumes generally have TERRIBLE resumes.

You'll find yourself in a groove and be able to give advice. I doubt someone is going to walk in with absolutely no experience whatsoever. Good luck! I think you’ll do just fine.

I think that finding a job IS a job. You have to put a lot of effort into going out and finding places to apply and applying correctly and following up. In terms of resumes and cover letters, they need to be applicable to the job you're applying for, that means each one might be different. You need to do your homework on where you're applying and put that information into your letter and/or resume. (You probably already know all of this). Otherwise, I think you'll be good at being a resume coach. Read over what they have, and make suggestions. Try to think about what you would tell a friend if they came to you for resume advice. Try to think of what you would want, if you were hiring. An outside perspective can be very helpful. Go get 'em! Not sure if this will be helpful, but…

I totally understand your feelings. Not that I've ever attended a training to become a resume coach or anything, but I've read quite a bit on the Internet about how to put a resume together, but whenever I sit down to update my resume I feel completely lost and don't remember a thing. Good luck! I am sure you can make it up as you go. Uargh, Resume Coach… how did that happen? ;) J/K.
