Current Recs for Resume Writing Services?

January 15, 2019 11:21 AM

I need some recs for online resume writing services. I have a bit of an odd work history, and I need someone who can package it properly on paper.

If you used one of these services in the last few years and were happy with it, I'd love to hear from you.

I am looking for a company that offers a dialogue with the resume writer, specifically, in addition to any forms they have you fill out about your work history.

Best answer: I have used Resume to Interviews several times, as has my husband. AFAIK you don't actually talk to them on the phone, but there is a lot of back and forth and iterations. They really helped me draw out my accomplishments on paper.

Best answer: I worked with someone several years ago who re-wrote my resume. That job search ended with a new position that doubled my salary. I'd be glad to pass along her name via MeMail. If you're looking for a "service" then she may be in a different price bracket than you've been considering...but in my personal experience, she was worth it.

I've never met her personally. We talked on the phone several times. I got her name from a leading resume expert in my field; that person was taking a break from work when I contacted her, and she gave me the name.

Good luck with your search!
