- Charmaine pocek 41, Houston, resume writer, career consultant and recruiter, $38,000-$48,000 a month
I started using Fiverr in 2011, when I was a full-time corporate recruiter and my husband and I were saving up for an adoption. I love writing resumes and was already doing it, and I thought this might be a great way to make extra money.
When I started, I had zero feedback and referrals after my name, so I was doing resume revamps for $5. If it was an executive resume, it was extra. My prices then were probably 10% of what they are now — like $15 per gig. On average, I was making — I was still working full-time — so maybe $10-$15 an hour.
