Not sure I disparaged folks working from home. As a matter of fact, I said that this wasn't necessarily a negative. It just feels like I would have to take a lot more time to find the right person. A large company I would hope has a set of standards, as well as dismiss anyone who did not live up to those standards. It is hard to tell from just a website that someone may write an outstanding resume, since all the web sites claim that.

Sorry if you felt slighted, but that wasn't the intent at all.

And if you read my post later today, you will see that the person who is writing the resume is some one that they outsource to.

FYI - The Ladders sources lots of their work to so-called work at home resume writers that you disparage. In fact it wouldn't surprise me if I am tasked with writing your freebie. I have written thousands of resumes over the last 20 years for folks at all levels including many c-level execs such as yourself. Just because I work at home doesn't mean I won't write the best darn resume you have ever seen.

Good to hear from others who have gone through the service.. I figured halfof it was boilerplate, but some of it seemed pretty on target compared to what I have been reading about resume writing. They must have read the same stuff I have :-)

Thanks for the feedback!

Darin - great idea for a blog and let me be the first to assist with the bruised ego...there's a lot of boilerplate in that resume critique. Probably just about everyone signing up for Ladders has seen similar. I also thought that much of the critique was on target for mine but others in the biz thought that Ladders was overdone. And while the quality of the critique was good it does not necessarily translate into their resume writing service. Talk about scams. Worth asking a few questions about their resume writing process before spending the $695 for a rewrite. I didn't do it and I'm don't regret it. I have a resume writer doing a refresh on mine for a quarter of that and there are others out there that I would be more interested in doing a comprehensive rewrite than Ladders. Good luck to you!
