A "Free" Critique of My Resume
A free critique of my resume was sent via email to my Inbox. I thought, "Oh, it is so thoughtful of this gentleman to have taken the time to personally look over my resume and give me good ideas". Using my very own words, he suggested changes to make my resume "POP"! He hinted that there is at least one typographical error or grammatical error in my resume but he didn't elaborate. As I scrolled down, it dawned on me that this was part of a sales pitch. His group of "professional resume writers" could make my resume "POP" . . . . . for a very special price of $399.00 . . . . but only for a limited time. Oh, really? Really? Oh, Dear God, am I the most naive unemployed person in the world? Do people actually pay this kind of money for a resume? I think I'll wait until I'm really, really desperate. But, then, no. I'll wait until hell freezes over.
