I'm an undergraduate business student applying to consulting internships and full time roles soon. Would you recommend buying a resume editing service for consulting? Have you done it before? How was the experience and did yoy land your dream job with it?

Your career center should have a resume review service or you can ask your academic advisor to review it. They will have hundreds of examples of successful resumes. I’ve never paid for a resume review.

Just no… dude buck up write your own resume. Take it to your career center and have them review it.

Nope - ask alumni and upperclassmen you know well

No. Resume reviews and honestly even case coaches are only useful if you yourself cannot find people to help you. I found a solid group of fellow interviewees to work with, and while it was partially blind leading blind, we all ended up where we wanted to be (MBB, top-tier boutiques)

The caveat is if you would benefit from the structure of having someone set things up for you and hold you accountable

I did it. It helped me land interviews every where I applied. But it can be pricey.

My career center gave very bad advice, they told me my resume was perfect so I didn't make any changes until it got reviewed by consultants and I got told otherwise. But you guys give very good feedback I appreciate it

That's true, thanks D1. I'll probably stick to asking more people around
