I haven't. As someone who has read/reviewed resumes to hire, and talked ad nauseum with other hiring managers and multiple companies, the impact and efficacy of your resume design, word choice, and content will vary from reviewer to reviewer.

Companies may have tendencies though so doing research (ask people on here/google) beforehand and tailoring your resume to that company's style may help but its still a gamble.

You just need to get your foot in the door to talk to someone. After that, if you get the sense that they are interested in things you left off, you can always talk to those experiences and offer to send an updated version.

That said, if it is cheap, why not? Never hurts to get perspective, but at the end of the day you own the image you want to broadcast to a prospective employer.
