Writing a resume that will get you invitations for an interview isn’t an easy task, which is why many job seekers are now turning to?hire?professional resume writers. However, it’s important to be sure you’re getting?high-quality services?and not someone who’s?just?trying to get you to part with your money. So here are the five most important factors to consider when hiring a professional resume writer.?
1. Are you hiring a resume writer or a “resume factory?”?
It’s important to be sure of whom you’re purchasing the services from as many so-called professional resume writers are actually “resume factories.” A “resume factory” usually creates low-quality resumes or has poor service, and the best way to identify them is by their low prices. Purchasing services from them will likely sabotage your chances of getting calls for an interview since your resume will be like everyone else’s.??
2.?What kind of process does the resume writer use???
A killer resume can’t be written in hours based on questions you’re asked no matter how good the resume writer is! A professional resume writer will be willing to meet with you in person to get all the information needed and might take days for you to get the final delivery. Unlike professional writers who take their time to write from scratch, resume factories usually plug in your information into resume templates?and deliver it within hours.??
3. Does the?resume?writer have any proven sales or marketing experience???

A resume is like a marketing tool that should sell your skills and experience to a recruiter. The best resumes are usually written by people who have a background in marketing as they’re able to sell?the reader on why they should call you for an interview.??
4. Does the resume writer offer a guarantee for their services???
Unprofessional writers are usually unwilling to acknowledge the complaints of their clients and re-write their resumes. In contrast, professional resume writers are willing to stand by?their work and accommodate your request for a re-write if the resume isn’t getting you an interview within a certain period (usually between 60-90 days.)?
5. How much does the resume writer charge???
In the end, you will always get what you pay for. So if the resume writer is offering to create a resume for you for a paltry free, it’s an indication of the quality of work you should expect. It always goes back to “cost versus” value.??
Conclusion??
Purchasing the services of a bad resume writer won’t only cost you money; it will also make you lose the opportunity of receiving calls for an interview. With the guide above, you can shop around for the services of a professional resume writer and be sure you’re getting superb quality.??
