Has anyone used a resume writer? Is it worth it when you make a career transition?

If you’re making a career switch I suggest consulting a career coach instead who can not only help you craft the resume, but highlight transferable skillsets that can strengthen your case for the role you’re going for.

Not all “resume writers” are skilled in that. Most are great at phrasing and writing for ATS but don’t understand the nuances involved with transitioning from one career to another and how to highlight and apply the skills you have to tell a story that will successfully position you for a different industry.

Just my two cents.
