About Claire

From a recruitment desk to a house in Portugal.

More than a decade helping people with employment taught me exactly how fragile the single-employer model is.

So I built my own income: a writing agency that crossed $2.5M and served 30,000+ clients, run first from a laptop in Thailand, then from a campervan across thirteen countries, and now from a house in rural Portugal that the business bought outright.

In 2025, AI turned the resume industry upside down, so I exited. Today I teach the method behind that business, and every tool on this site is part of it.
