How to Choose a Resume Service

• Our role is to educate consumers so that they can make well-informed decisions. Listed below are scams to avoid and sound advice when selecting a resume writer or career coach.

What to Avoid

• Avoid the ultra cheap resume with all kinds of guarantees with a 24 hour turn-a-round. You’re going to get a cookie cutter, assembly line resume that will not impress anyone. You're better off doing it yourself and saving a few dollars.
• Don't be impressed with coaching and writing certifications that can be obtained in a matter of days. In fact, you can have a GED diploma and qualify for these certifications.
• Don't be impressed with someone whose background is academia. They are clueless about the real job market.
• Don't be impressed with someone who claims they were in human resources. A human resources person deals with policies, procedures and benefits. They are not experts in finance, operations, logistics, marketing, supply chain, etc.

What to Look For

• A resume writer and career coach must be a true renaissance person.
• They should have a MBA degree so that they understand business principles.
• They should have managed in a corporate environment and actively ran organizations like operations, logistics, marketing, IT, finance, etc.
• They should be familiar with multiple industries including manufacturing, retail, healthcare, banking, financial services, education, etc.
• They should have real credentials that took decades to obtain, including advanced degrees, publications, major consulting engagements, executive coaching, public speaking, etc.
• They should be familiar with market, industry and economic trends in order to help guide your career.
