The Dept of Labor is saying that an average job search is now in excess of 30 weeks and even longer for executives. This statistic demonstrates that what used to work in a job search 5 years ago--doesn't work today.

 Note: If you were making $52K per year in your last job a Do-It-Yourself resume can end up costing you more than $30K if it doesn't work. Even if your professional resume writer were to shorten your job search by only 2 weeks you save $2K. If they'd shorten your job search by 10 or more weeks you'd save $10K plus. Is a professionally written resume really a luxury or a necessity?

 It isn't always the most qualified candidate who gets the job. It is the candidate that presented themselves best on their resume that is called in to interview. Compare your resume to that of your competition at www.anewresume.com/samples/home/. If you were the employer with a 100 resumes on your desk, would you call you for an interview?

 Would you use an attorney who'd never tried a case to defend you if you were facing a possible life sentence for a crime you did not commit? Like attorneys, there are huge differences in resume writers. The vast majority have had no training at all yet claim to be professional resume writers.

 My advice is to know what your competitors are using by looking at samples and then hire the best writer that you can afford.
