Testing free resume critique mouse trap

by Alex 8. November 2009 10:32
Resume is the first thing recruiter or hiring manager sees from you and thus it is hard to overestimate the value of the resume in the job search. So, I always try to get as much of second opinion as I could. Nowadays there are tones of services which claims to edit your resume the someway which would guarantee you new job in weeks. The price is raining from $29.99 all the way up to ridicules $1400. Also, many of them are offering free resume critique promotions, certainly hopping to get you on the hook and make some money later on; obviously free cheese is only found in the mousetrap. To give it a try I decided to use Job Fox free resume review service. The full price for the resume writing was $399, but I only wanted to check free portion of the service with no intention to buy later on. [More]
