CV Writing services - are they worth it?
Thank you very much for this advice. As you say if they were any good then their fee would justify itself very quickly through extra work. Sadly, they don't appear to be any good.- software tester

CV Writing services - are they worth it?
It really depends on whether you see a CV as a report or an advert. If you see it as a report then I can quite easily put together a standardised and rather turgid document listing my work history (and I have one on my hard drive now).
