I was discouraged when I saw this article posted on CNN in which I echoed frightened chills from Tiffany and GetCareer. More importantly, I asked myself what I could do to stem the tide of poor resumes coming to my colleagues desks (and hopefully my own as well). With the resume being a critical component of the job hunt (especially now with computerized resume databases), maybe I could help some job seekers out. That’s what I originally came online to do anyway.
So here is my grand idea: job seekers can submit their resumes to me and I can take a look at it as an HR guy and offer some uncensored advice to improve it. No charge of course and your privacy and confidentiality are guaranteed (I won’t use it for my business, for personal use, or put you into some brilliant resume database that I could sell to third party recruiters). It is purely for sharpening up your resume and getting a second opinion (or third or fourth). If you are nervous about submitting your information, feel free to censor the identifiable information and let me help you with formatting and wording to sell yourself.
Just to sweeten the pot, I am going to offer the prize of a fantastic book (Get Out of Your Own Way by Robert Cooper) to one lucky resume submission chosen at random.
More details on this can be found on my resume page along with submission instructions.
Please feel free to pass the word to any and all who you think might benefit.

Excellent service to provide job seekers…especially the confidentiality aspect. Also, a great opportunity for other Human Resources Managers who would see this as a side income opportunity.
