Has anyone here used a professional resume service? Would recommend again or not worth it?

No, but this is more of a personal question. I got a good template resume from a friend a long time ago and have always used it. I trust my circle to review and edit the grammar of mine. It's an important skill to know how to sell yourself, so I'd recommend learning it. It won't just help you with your resume, but how you communicate in your emails, etc at work.

Can you share the template you have? I'm genuinely curious. Thanks

There is an option in Microsoft Word for CV templates. It will also show you templates of LinkedIn profiles of others who have the same job title as you and summaries of what they do. It’s quite useful as a starting point.

I completely agree it’s a skill to have. I was just curious if others thought it was valuable or not. I wrote my own resume and it has got me into multiple F500 companies so I don’t think I need it, but still curious how others felt.

Maybe if you were trying to career transition from one field to another it would be helpful to have a person familiar in that field to review for you.

Definitely agree. Keywords matter.

So, the last start up I worked for was Talent Inc and resume rewrites/interview coaching is what they specialized in. I never used them but never heard anything too bad and still up and running.

I would recommend using professional services. Often your friends who are working professionals may have a good one. I know a guy who worked on mine and I got several call backs. He’s very good at articulating experience and tying everything together. Let me know if you’re interested. He does this professionally and is very active on LinkedIn

Hey team! So I was laid off from my SDR position about a week ago.
