Ok, so am I receiving you correctly... we "so called professional resume writers" have all the contacts to pass along the resume and really have no effect whatsoever on the appearance and/or content of said document?
Wow... if that were actually true then we would be placement services, right? Wouldn't that make us more desirable? Hmmm.
If I'm reading your statement correctly that hiring someone to write your resume is a waste - I understand your skepticism of "professional resume writers" and I am the first to highly recommend that folks check out all available options and the "professionals" themeselves. One question I suggest is to ask what will this person charge you if your resume is fine the way it is? Will they always find something wrong with it?
My philosophy is that if you are conveying the information just fine it then it doesn't need any modifications...and I will certainly not charge you for something I didn't do.
I guess I'm not sure what point your statement above is trying to make. Are you suggesting that having your resume critiqued or written is a waste of time and money or that it is a positive step because of the assumed "connections?"
Kind Regards,
