Greg Faherty on Building a 25-Year Resume Business

In this episode of Founders Future, with host Olivia Sammons, we sit down with Greg Faherty, founder of Million Dollar Resumes and A Perfect Resume. Greg shares his unconventional path into entrepreneurship, from working across science, photography, sales, healthcare, and laboratory management to discovering resume writing in the late 1990s—long before the industry moved online. What began as a side opportunity quickly evolved into a full-time business that has now spanned more than 25 years.Throughout the conversation, Greg breaks down his hands-on, highly personalized approach to resume writing and career positioning, especially for senior leaders and C-suite executives. He discusses the importance of authenticity in an increasingly AI-driven job market, the role of long-term client relationships, and how visibility, trust, and strategy matter more than shortcuts. Greg also reflects on staying adaptable, managing a lean team, and navigating industry noise while maintaining a steady, values-driven business model.
