I was wondering if anyone here has experience of hiring the services of one of those "professional" resume writing outfits that charge anywhere from C$150 to upwards of C$500 for writing your resume. They make pretty good claims that the rsume will turn up an interview in 10 days else they will rework the resume for free. I don't know what happens after the second time(after 20 days). Do they go on reworking the resume? Surely not!
In anycase, what I wanted to ask was if anyone has any experience with such companies?

I already have a job and a pretty good one too, and hence all that bit about being "lazy". However, I have been eyeing the land south of the border for a while and am getting in the mood to make a move and that's where the need for the resume.
What you advise about the content of the cover letter, is all available from any of the several source on the web. They all say the same thing as you and use the same phrases as you - "eye catching", examples of "accomplishments", figures for savings or enhanced profits etc etc. Who doesn't know that already?
I work as an analyst in a company that employs >7000 people. It is impossible to say how much of the profit of 150 million dollars was on my account! What "midas" touch? I, like any one else, is a cog in the big wheel. I do not work as a salesman in a small company, where I can put down exact figures from my accounts. Working as a software analyst is different. The work done is in teams and there are multiple teams involved in a project, each person contributing in his area of expertise. Easier said than done Mr Guru...there is no dearth advice and suggestions.
