The House approved a $3.44 trillion budget resolution and of course the only thing analysts can agree on is that they can’t agree if this is going to jump start the economy. If you listen to democrats, this is exactly what the US needs (and by extension the rest of the planet) to get it’s economy going. Republicans will tell you that it’s a reckless tax laden bill that is going to further damage the US economic reality. So who’s correct? Likely neither and at the end of the day what people want to know is how this is going to impact my employment status. However, if you believe the Federal Reserve, the recession is easing
One that that everyone can agree on is that unemployment continues to rise us the US endures more job cuts. Which means by default that the job market is tightening more and more every day. By extension, this means your cover letter and resume have to be bullet proof. More than ever, it’s vital that job seekers put the in the painful effort of writing and re-writing and proofing their resumes and cover letters. In fact, this is the time to spend money on getting both as good as they can be.
With that said, if you are going to look for a resume writing or critique service, be patient and diligent. Make sure you look at their resume and cover letter samples. make sure you talk to them about their service and what it really entails. You should also ask for references and actually call them. If they belong to the Better Business Bureau, that’s a great sign but you research their record of complaints. See if they belong to any other professional and business associations.
And with most things, you get what you pay for. Be wary of sites that offer a free or cheap writing or critique service. If you are looking for someone to write your resume, you should be paying at least $100 for a professional writer with experience. It’s possible to find this service for less than $100 but make sure you research the company to ensure they know what they are doing.
Good luck in your job hunting.
