And we've got some employment resources below. But now for some alternative thinking. And it's simple logic, really. A good resume writer, like any other professional today, is connected. Specifically, connected to the Web. In fact, you may be surprised at just how many are conducting their business over the Internet. With that being the case, why tether yourself only to writers with a physical presence in Philadelphia?

You've Got Choices When It Comes To A Resume Writing Service

A Philadelphia Resume Service... Or A Web-Based Writer Who Best Matches Your Needs?

Each day that passes, there's an ever increasing chance that your ideal resume writer, a certified resume writer with a work history in your very industry, might just be living in Buffalo or Memphis or Los Angeles. What if I told you that you could access that writer with a few clicks of a mouse? And that the entire transaction could be handled by phone, email and fax? That you can forget the drive and never have to step inside an office?

Pricing for these 10 Resume Services range from $89 to $249 for a mid-level professional. Prices at the higher range reflect an actual interview with you over the phone to discuss your work history, and 2-3 hours of work by your writer to craft a resume that will get results.

I'll be honest; although each was popular, not every service rated the same. In fact, the ratings range from 5 stars to a single star. You'll find that our 5-star "Top Picks" offer the most value and service.

[Note: If you're pressed for time, you might like to know that ResumeWriters.com received our highest rating. With certified writers specializing in 5 dozen career fields, this company has been delivering a 99.98% customer satisfaction rating since 1998. Plus, they've got one of the strongest guarantees in the industry... if you haven't gotten interviews within 60 days, they'll re-write your resume at no charge. You can even choose to work with a new writer for a totally fresh take on your resume. That cinched the deal with us.]

All Of This, and no Gridlock on the Schuylkill!

Visit our home page, Review of Resume Writers, and judge for yourself. I think you'll be pleasantly surprised. If not, well, you can always fire up the car and strike out on I-95 in search of a local firm. Either way, I wish you the best of luck in your job search.

↓ The city is home to the Philadelphia Stock Exchange and several Fortune 500 companies, including cable television and internet provider Comcast, insurance companies Colonial Penn, CIGNA and Lincoln Financial Group, energy company Sunoco, food services company Aramark and Crown Holdings Incorporated, chemical makers Rohm and Haas Company and FMC Corporation, pharmaceutical companies Wyeth and GlaxoSmithKline, Boeing helicopters division, and automotive parts retailer Pep Boys...

Philadelphia is an important center for medicine, a distinction that it has held since the colonial period. The city is home to the first hospital in the British North American colonies, Pennsylvania Hospital, and the first medical school in what is now the United States, at the University of Pennsylvania (Penn). Penn, the city's largest private employer, also runs a large teaching hospital and extensive medical system. There are also major hospitals affiliated with Temple University School of Medicine, Drexel University College of Medicine, Thomas Jefferson University, and Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine. Philadelphia also has three distinguished children's hospitals: Children's Hospital of Philadelphia, the nation's first pediatric hospital (located adjacent to the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania), St. Christopher's Hospital, and the Shriners' Hospital. In the city's northern section are Albert Einstein Hospital, and in the northeast section, Fox Chase Cancer Center. Together, health care is the largest sector of employment in the city. Several medical professional associations are headquartered in Philadelphia.

With Philadelphia's importance as a medical research center, the region supports the pharmaceutical industry. GlaxoSmithKline, AstraZeneca, Wyeth, Merck, GE Healthcare, Johnson and Johnson and Siemens Medical Solutions are just some of the large pharmaceutical companies with operations in the region. The city is also home to the nation's first school of pharmacy, the Philadelphia College of Pharmacy, now called the University of the Sciences in Philadelphia.
