Has anyone ever used Resume Pro Writers?

We Answered:

Dude,
No idea but they have a nice site. I was looking for resume services recently and found a great one. Thee's lots of them out. They were less expensive than the one you found and they did a tight job. I haven't gotten a job yet, but I think that would be my fault - I havent looked hard enough. My old resume really sucked compared to there new one.

I can't remember the name right now and I have to run to catch the train...the name was either careerpathsresumes.com or careerpathresumes.com (not sure..add some s's or take them away and I think you should figure it out). The nice thing is that they gave a cool deal where they will change my resume for 15 bucks each time for like the next 6 months and if I need a new ersume anytime before a year is up they will update things for half off. I thought that was a decent deal. I think I'm gonna hit them up for the change since I am applying for a different job and want to word things different for that one.

Jake, out

anyway, best to your hunting.

Is it worth paying for a resume writing service?

We Answered:

A lot of the work can be done by yourself. But if you seriously need help definitely use a resume writing service. But often ties, a second set of eyes is all it takes. There was this site that I checked out, and they looked over my resume for me and it was way cheaper than paying someone to write the whole thing for me. I don't know about you but I seriously couldn't drop close to $100.

Would a resume writing service help?

We Answered:

With all the resume guides and free advice there is no need to go to a resume service. Resume services range from excellent to very bad and picking one can be difficult. So be careful and do some research before you spend your money. - It is difficult to truthfully mask a lack of specified experience on a resume as most companies use trained professionals or computer programs to screen resumes and applications. They usually look for key words. The trick is to use the key words without blatantly lying. If you did lab work as part of college training you may be able to portray it a manner to get you past the reviewer. For example you probably had classes where you grew cultures and processed the results. I am not advising you to fabricate experience, but to state those processes which you actually performed in the lab at school. Once you get the interview, you will have to convince them that you can perform the required duties with minimal training, so do some research and get advice from experienced people. Join some groups on the web that discuss the type of work you are looking for so you know and can use the industry abbreviations and buzzwords correctly. In these times of high unemployment you are competing with a lot of experienced workers Perhaps you can find an internship or volunteer at the hospital or clinic to boost your experience while you are applying for jobs. Even if it is washing test tubes, you would be currently working at a lab. Finally although it is difficult to ask for feedback;contact the HR department or send an e-mail and ask for feedback on how to improve your resume, and any other tips they can give you. I once was hiring graduate engineers and several from one college listed the same professor for a reference. The professor was bad reference, but the students never knew it. If they asked me for feedback All I could tell them was to check their references. Additionally, I would ask someone with HR experience to review your resume and give you honest feedback. (Perhaps your college has a research lab, or visit one that does) Also applying for a job in this economy is something like roulette, the more resumes you send out the better your chances to get an interview.

Darlene Said:

Has anyone had any luck recently using a profession resume service?

We Answered:

The professional resume writer can put no more into a resume than you can yourself.

They don't bring any better results as to a job offer than one you write yourself.

Save your money - write your own just make it nice and presentable -
