Default Re: Resume Writing

Here's my 2 cents: My wife had a poop-hot (we thought) resume. We got man excellent writers to look at it, re-write it, offer input...the works. She never got any call back. She decided to go to a professional resume writing company. She sent them her resume, and they tore it up. When she got it back, it looked unreal. Within 2 weeks she was getting calls for interview's. I feel relatively confident in my writing skills, but I suggest getting the pro's to write it. The way I look at it is, yes, you have to pay mad cash to get these done professionally, but most of those pro companies offer guarantees. If hiring someone like that causes you to get an interview for a higher paying job...or any job, for that matter...I say do it. Personally, when I get out of the military I plan on using a professional service to do mine. My wife was able to get a job at the State Department, I think mostly due to her getting her degree, but also in the ability of the company to profile her highly in her resume. I know there are alot of botls out there who can do this, and no discredit to them, but I suggest hiring out. Again, this is just my honest input.
