We've also put together some Washington,
DC employment resources (see box 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 how many are conducting their business over the
Internet. With that being the case, there's no need to tether
yourself only to writers with a physical presence
in Washington, DC.
A Washington Resume
Service - Or An Online Alternative?
Each day that passes, there's ever increasing odds that
your ideal resume writer, a certified writer with
a work history in your very industry, might
be living in New York or Omaha or
Seattle– and not Washington, DC. What if we
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?

What We've Done
We've taken 10 of the most popular Resume Writing
Services on the Web and put them through their
paces. These are companies that collectively employ hundreds
of professional writers covering a broad spectrum of
industries and occupations. We wrote in-depth reviews for
each resume service, and gave them star ratings based on the
following:
|
» Writer
Certification
» Price and
Value
|
» Quality of
Workmanship
» Personal
Attention
|
» Satisfaction
Guarantee
» Timeliness
|
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 Road Rage on
I-495!
Visit our home page, Review of Resume Writers, and
judge for yourself. I think you'll be pleasantly surprised
at your options. If not, well, you can always fire up the
car and strike out in search of a local firm. Either way,
best of luck in your job search.

↓ "In 2008, the federal
government accounted for about 27% of the
jobs in Washington, D.C. This is thought to
immunize Washington to national economic
downturns because the federal government
continues operations even during recessions.
However, as of January 2007, federal
employees in the Washington area comprised
only 14% of the total U.S. government
workforce. Many organizations such as law
firms, independent contractors (both defense
and civilian), non-profit organizations,
lobbying firms, trade unions, industry trade
groups, and professional associations have
their headquarters in or near D.C. to be
close to the federal government...
The District has growing industries not
directly related to government, especially in
the areas of education, finance, public policy,
and scientific research. George Washington
University, Georgetown University, Washington
Hospital Center, Howard University, and Fannie
Mae are the top five non-government-related
employers in the city. There are five Fortune
1000 companies based in Washington, of which
two are also Fortune 500 companies."
