you ever use a resume editing service?
i'm in the process of looking for another job and am not sure my resume is all that it can be. anyone here ever used a resume creation/editing/critiquing service? if so, what did you think?

I usually run mine by my friends and former supervisors to get feedback.

Sure cheapie. I'll take a look. More or less I'd want to know what kind of job you are aiming at, so that you can tailor your resume to that job description and then you can email it to me.
you've got PM.

One thing that helps is to use results-oriented statements in your resume. Instead of just saying "...made the order fulfillment more efficient...." say "...made the order fulfillment more efficient resulting in an annual savings of $5 million..."
