Now I know my resume is weak because all I did was set down my work chronology with no thought at this point to resume strategy or how best to market myself. I have not posted my resume anywhere yet because it's not ready to be searched. My resume critique came back panning the entire thing but offering a professional rewrite for $695. Does this mean that I should give any credence whatsoever to the comments the critiquer made? With the ulterior motive of having me hire them, it throws the exercise into question for me.

Free...
So I am snared by my own sense of fair play yet again. I have signed up on a bunch of job posting sites for my job search. The Ladders is one that focuses on jobs paying upwards of $100k so I have been spending some time plumbing that site. They offer one "free" advice session to critique your resume.

Hi Karin,
ReplyDeleteit is sad that we have to do something to survive. Earn a living in a land of plenty. Right now our planet can feed twice as many. But we got ourselves in to a trap of money created by some very smart people to make others 'WORK' for a living. These people have made you 'sell' yourself. People who are at the top are the ones who have over sold themselves. My ultimate desire is to become a monkey, i am nearly there.
This is a very honest and sweet blog Karin.
and very simple too as Ruth says.
