Can Professional Resume Help Really Pay Off?
By Jeremy Cyrus 07/26/2012The day you become unemployed, you also become something of a target. Especially if you post this information online, you’re likely to quickly find yourself deluged with ads for products and services that are guaranteed to help you find a fulfilling job this very week—for only a nominal fee. And since you don’t have cash to spare right now, paying for these products can seem like a gamble. Should you really sign up for that night course to build your credentials? Should you really invest in that expensive career counseling service?
Most important of all, should you really be paying to have a professional editor review your resume? Isn’t “editing” just a matter of searching for typos? And if so, can’t your best friend or your little brother take a look at your resume for you?
Our answer to those last three questions: Yes and no, not even close, and yes…but no. Let us explain.
