Pro tip: I spent $400 on a fancy resume writing service that got me zero calls
I was stuck in my job hunt for months and thought a 'professional' writer would fix it, so I paid a company that promised 'executive-level' resumes. They gave me a three-page document full of buzzwords that didn't sound like me at all, and I sent it out for two months with no results. What's a better way to spend money when you're trying to change jobs?

Three pages? That's insane for most jobs.

Skip the fancy services and spend that money on a few sessions with a career coach instead. They can help you figure out your real story and how to tell it. Then maybe pay a good editor fifty bucks to clean up the grammar and flow on the resume you write yourself. The best resume sounds like you, not like a robot filled with words like "synergy." I tried the template route once and it felt so fake I knew it wouldn't work.
