No. It’s best to apply only for roles where you have relevant experience listed on your resume. For example, if you’re an experienced estate manager, applying for a housekeeping role can signal you’re stepping backward in your career, which may be a red flag for clients. These placements often don’t last, as candidates tend to leave once they find a better fit. We recommend applying only to positions you’re excited about and aligned with professionally.
-
Only if you have a strong personal connection to that location (e.g., family, friends, or you’ve spent time there and love it). Keep in mind that clients often prefer local candidates. If you’re unfamiliar with the area or unsure about a long-term stay, it may not be the right fit. Clients invest heavily in hiring, so they need confidence that you’ll stay long-term.
-
Absolutely. We will request an updated resume during the process. Use our simple resume format and tailor it to the role you’re applying for—many candidates leave off key skills that may be critical for the role. Include a cover letter explaining your background, how you got into private service, and why you love the work.

Once a week by email to [email protected] is ideal. If needed, you can follow up by call or text to 443-326-8626.

We typically call references once an offer is made, as part of the background check. Please ensure you have at least two references related to your previous positions, and collect reference letters when you leave a role (in case you lose touch with your former employer). References often make or break a hiring decision, so it’s best to apply only for roles you genuinely want. Over-applying can result in reference fatigue, which could hurt your chances.
