But this is you we're talking about. Jack and Jill might be fictional characters—like the ones who once climbed a hill to fetch a pail of water! Of course the resume service creators are not going to post comments from clients who had a negative experience.

Therefore, it is so important to check out the services out there. Spend some time on the Internet searching for eight or ten sites that provide resume-writing services. What do the critics say? What do 'real' people say?

Yes, it does take time to do this behind-the-scenes work. But it will pay off in the end because you'll have made an informed decision based on study and comparison rather than on a whim.

Avoid the Cookie-Cutter Approach

Following is a list of questions to consider before selecting the resume service that is right for you at this point in your career:

1. Are the resume writers specialized by industry so they know the language of your particular profession?
2. Does the service guarantee 100% client satisfaction?
3. Does the company have a selection of services and pricing to match?
4. Do the writers communicate with their clients or simply collect a fee and then dash off a resume, never to be heard from again?
5. Will your resume be delivered within a week to ten days, especially if you're in a hurry to get moving on your job search?
6. Does the service provide real-life examples of resumes that landed interviews for their clients?
7. Does the company offer extras such as writing and editing cover letters and thank you notes? These items could be a plus for anyone who needs all three documents.

These are just a few of the items you may wish to check out before making your choice. Your career may depend on it.
