I recently decided to have a "professional" resume written to improve my chances of landing a
high-paying position. I finally picked the company CareersPlusResumes to write the resume for me. Unfortunately, they really do not "write" your resume. They simply used my existing resume layout and re-formatted it. They even used all of my wording, except for the opening paragraph.
Did I mention that this service cost me $129.95!!!
On top of that, the rep that was working on my resume was rude and obnoxious. After he sent me the first draft of the resume, I sent back several changes that I wanted to make. His response was this: "Please understand that I do this for a living and have nearly 10 years of experience writing resumes. I would not have provided this to you if it was not going to work. See attached for all other changes. Thank you." Now, I paid $129.95 for this company to write me a resume. According to this guy, I am just supposed to take whatever they send me and go away! At this point, I wrote another e-mail to the company asking that a manager contact me. Guess who was on the other end when the phone rang... The guy writing my resume!!! I guess they have only one employee.
Anyway, I was not happy. The resume was not what I expected for $129.95 (Yes, I am going to keep mentioning this...) and the customer service was horrible. I just wish I had gone with a different company to write my resume. I just hope this article will keep someone else from making the same mistake I did.
