Q: Are resume services worth the money?

A: A more effective resume that markets your abilities better can significantly reduce the time it takes to land a new position. Research studies have shown that getting help from  career experts can shorten your job search.

Here is what a reduction in search time means to you:

If your annual salary is $26,000 then landing a job 1 week sooner is an additional $500 you have earned. For a person with a $52,000 annual salary this translates to $1,000 for gettingon the job a week sooner and for a person earning $104,000 a year one week means an extra $2,000.  And consider too that career help will often shorten the time frame but much more than merely a week!


Remember - Being out of work is expensive!
