Free Career Coach
Service Agreement
One client ghosting you mid-search vaporizes your month's profit and leaves you holding the bill for premium tools you can't refund. Without a signature, you're just a high-priced volunteer waiting to get sued when they bomb an interview.
Pro Contractor Tip
Include a 'Limitation of Liability' clause to ensure you aren't financially responsible for a client's lost wages or failed job offers.
Why use a written agreement?
Handshake deals are risky. As a Career Coach, "scope creep" is your biggest enemy. A clear agreement ensures everyone agrees on the deliverables before money changes hands.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I stop a client from demanding 'just one more quick edit' on their resume for months?
You specify the exact number of revisions in your contract. Anything beyond that is a change order billed at your full hourly rate, keeping your schedule from leaking money.
What happens if a client goes radio silent and then pops up three months later demanding work?
Put an expiration clause in your agreement. If they don't engage for 30 days, the project is considered abandoned and you keep the deposit for the overhead of holding their slot.
The client didn't get the job and wants their money back. How do I handle this?
Your contract must state they are paying for your labor and expertise, not a guaranteed employment outcome. Point to the signed document to show you delivered the agreed-upon services regardless of the hiring manager's decision.
