Are Resume Writing Services Actually Helpful in Today’s Job Market?

Hey everyone,

I’m currently on the job hunt and have applied to over 40 positions in the past month, but I’ve only received a couple of callbacks. I’ve been told that my resume might not be standing out or could be getting filtered out by ATS.

A few people suggested looking into resume writing services, but I’m not sure what to expect. Do these services really make a difference when it comes to formatting, keyword optimization, or highlighting the right achievements?

If you’ve used one recently:

Was it worth the cost?

Did you see more interview invites after using it?

How personalized was the final resume?

I’d appreciate any recommendations, experiences (good or bad), or tips for choosing the right provider. I’m in marketing, but I assume this applies to most industries. Thanks in advance!
