A Free Resume Critique...

Got a resume of dubious distinction? With the economy reeling and jobs scarce, now is not the time to
crank out a resume that isn't firing on all cylinders.
You may have had a few friends or some family members look over your resume -- and that's good. But unless one
of them is a recruiter or a hiring official or a pro resume writer, such critiques are not likely very useful
beyond your basic thumbs up, thumbs down. You might be happy to know there are resume services out there that offer
a free resume critique. It's not going to be as thorough as a critique that you would pay for, but it should give
you some insight into whether or not a resume service can be of help.
Two companies in our lineup offer a free resume evaluation -- without pressure, without cost, without
obligation. That would be ResumeCorner.com and ResumeServiceInc.com. Of the two, I'd
lean toward Resume Corner, given
the extraordinary qualifications of their writers. Snapshots below...
The Free Resume Critique - What To Expect
Lots of resume writing services will offer to take a look at your existing resume and make suggestions. With
most companies, you can be assured that among their suggestions will be the plea to let them have a crack at
re-writing your resume. Nothing wrong with that, per se. But in their evaluation, are they giving you any
reasons why they could do a better job? Any details?
A good free resume critique from an ethical service will provide an honest resume evaluation that identifies
areas that need help. It's OK to expect the writer to make a case for his services, but that case should be backed
up by pointing out specific areas on the resume that could be improved upon, and how the writer would address those
areas.
BTW, the availability of a free or inexpensive resume critique is just one of many things to consider when
looking at resume writing services. Before you pull the trigger and spend your hard-earned money on a service,
you'll want to consider the credentials of the writers, the quality of workmanship behind each resume, customer
service, and price. If you're interested, we take a hard look at 10 of the most popular online services in our
