Directory of Professional Resume Writers

Two books in one—a directory of hundreds of the top professional resume writers in the U.S., Canada, and Australia, plus extensive tips on choosing the very best writer for your resume and how to work best with them. Somewhere between 250,000 and 500,000 people each year in the U.S. work with a professional resume writer to make their job search documents as compelling as possible, and they pay big bucks for the privilege—$400 on average, but often over $1,000. So it is important that this money be well spent. The Directory of Professional Resume Writers helps readers choose the writer whose style and specialty mesh best with their own, and then shows how to maximize their time working with the writer.
