Has anyone here ever used a service that helps you create a stronger resume (for a fee)? - kelly Dec 8, 06:05 3
- and remember these people do not have a vested interest in getting you a job. -- nm - znufrii Dec 8, 06:12
- also, ask for (and check) copious references before you pay anyone to do *anything* with your resume. not from the company, but from the individual - antiheros and superheroes love mandy lane Dec 8, 06:10

How awesome would this be? - znufrii Dec 8, 05:59 2
