Imagine this scenario...
You are 'knee deep' into your job search. You're totally stressed out and money is beyond tight...
You need some serious help finding a job fast. So you decide to invest in a professionally written resume. You call the big name Resume Writing Service you heard about and plunk down a large sum of money so you can have a professional write your new resume.
Now you're really excited! You smile and think to yourself, "this ought to work some magic!"
You receive everything back from the resume service and it looks impressive! It's almost hard to believe they've written all this about YOU!
They even tossed in a "free" cover letter to go with your pricey resume.
You excitedly send off your resume and cover letter to many sources and contacts. You post your resume to several online job boards as well.
You start daydreaming that your telephone is ringing off the hook with multiple job interview requests, discussing several job offers, negotiating salaries...
Your daydream turns to a nightmare as you wait for the phone to ring... and wait... and wait some more. Slowly you start to realize...
... Absolutely NOTHING is happening... NOTHING!
How exasperating! The resume writer guaranteed you would land more job interviews. After all, this company has been in business for over 20 years. They also charge a fortune. (Over $300 dollars... ouch!)
Here's what REALLY happened...
