Your Call: The Church-to-Corporate Resume Kit
$47
If you used to work at a church, you already have the experience. This kit gives you the words for it.
Ministry experience rarely makes sense on a resume. Volunteer scheduling, Sunday production, the music library, protecting the pastor’s calendar: it was real work every single week, and none of it came with corporate words attached.
I spent years on church staff, then rebuilt my career in publishing and TV and film. For years since, people have sent me their resumes to translate. This kit is everything I’d tell you if you sent me yours.
What’s inside
A guide to translating your church work. It includes a Role Library that covers more than a dozen church roles, from worship and kids’ ministry to the food pantry, facilities, and IT. Each role comes with titles to search, the corporate words for what you did, sample bullets, and where the role fits.
Sample resumes and a sample cover letter built from real church-to-career paths
Three editable Word templates: a hybrid resume, a chronological resume, and a cover letter, with yellow highlights marking what changes for every job
Five short videos walking you through translating your experience, building your resume, tailoring it, writing your cover letter, and answering interview questions like “why did you leave?”
This is for you if
You worked or volunteered at a church and you’re job hunting now, or planning to
You don’t know what to call what you did
You’re tired of hearing that church work “doesn’t count”
About me
I’m Melissa, founder of Pulse & Honey. I was a worship pastor’s assistant, a worship leader, and a vocal and kids’ choir director before I rebuilt my career. Now I help people build a life they chose after leaving the church.
This kit shares my lived experience and the tools that helped me. It isn’t career, legal, or financial advice, and it doesn’t promise an interview or an offer.
Because this is a digital product, all sales are final.
