Has anyone had a professional prepare a resume for you? I’m going to submit mine for a job and i want it done tip top. I have hear they charge around $100, which is fine. I just want it done right.

This isn’t for pouring coffee at Starbucks. This is for a job that pays well into the 6 figure range. I won’t be submitting a hacked google resume. I want it prepped and proofed by someone that specializes in building a proper resume.

It can never hurt to have a professional create you something that will look presentable. I say go for it.

Then I hope you understand that that resume and cover letter need to be SPECIFICALLY tailored to that job. That aside no resume writer will know YOU, YOUR SKILL SET, PERSONALITY, and JOB REQUIREMENTS (as they relate to items mentioned) BETTER THEN YOU.

I guess if you have no other resources. Seriously though, no family members who are higher ups? Family friends?

Networking with other professionals will be your BEST resource for this. I did this and had several VPs of IT companies look over my resume and critique it. Mine came out fucking awesome.

Make sure you use resume paper. There was some discussion on that a while back.

Simply look for an example resume based on the type of job you are applying for. Not all resumes are alike.
