Has anyone used WSO Resume Review Service? I'm curious what you guys thought of the service and quality of review and whether or not you would recommend it to a friend.
Thanks.

Definitely go for it, you'll get your money's worth; I did use this service once before. I'm not affiliated with them but they will gear your CV up as much as it's possible (based on your background).

 

Sure ... I did it twice over the span of 2 years. Both times got me the jobs that I wanted. But it took a lot of blood, sweat, and tears to get there. That is, a resume will make you stand out - but you still nedd to go after the job.

Service: you submit your resume, the reviewer asks you some detailed questions, they send over a draft and then you usually make some minor tweaks ..... then BOOM .... finished product. Highly recommended. Plan to do it again in 6 months.

 

I tried it and it was a wast of money. Instead of getting feedback and suggestions which I repeatedly asked for, the writer kept asking me what I thought should be added and what feedback I'd gotten from other people. They don't offer anything - suggestions, feedback, ways to tailor your resume, none of it. She just took what I had already written and my suggestions and changed some of my wording. I found it much more helpful to set up informational interviews and get feedback from people working in finance for free.
