Are resume writers and reviewers ever worth the money? I have sent so many applications out and heard nothing back. I'm willing to try anything at this point.

Won't an AI tool update your existing one sufficiently?

@SSE1 It doesn't need to be obviously AI. Depending whch tool you choose, I've seen them give suggestions I agree with for improvements and then you can build on it. I personally dont trust it for total rewrite but it does help on perspective I think. I've even had a couple tools check out revisions for certain roles just to see what gets said.

Hey, DM me. On the side I edit resumes and career coach, I've had over 500+ clients in the past 6 years and have gotten good results. Happy to do a free consult.

Use Ai. Put in your work experiences and skills. Tell it yiur stories about work. Tell it to format it in ATS. Done.

Copy and paste the job descriptions and skills for a job you want. Tailor your existing resume. Done.


At this stage if you do that and have another person you work with or has experience look it over to ensure you didn’t miss anything you will be alright.

If you’re getting silencce after a ton of apps, i’d stop paying for a human writer first and figure out where the resume is getting stuck. Most of the time it’s either the keywords not matching the posting, or the format breakung in ATS and nobody ever sees it.

I had a friend spend money on a polished rewrite and still got nothing back until we compared her resume against the actual job ads word-for-word. A couple tiny things mattered way more than the fancy wording, like title matching and whether the skills section was actually readable by the system.

What kind of jobs are you applying to, and are you tailoring the resume each time or sending one verison everywhere? Also, if you’ve got columns, icons, or a header with contact info only on page 1, that R‌ѕum​e Ju‍d⁠g‍е stuff can quietly mess you up more than people realize.
