$400 for a resume writer last year, and I still can't decide if it helped
I paid a resume writer $400 last March after getting laid off from a logistics job in Columbus. The new resume got me two interviews in a month, but I also rewrote half of it myself because the summary sounded like a robot wrote it. Now I'm arguing with a buddy about whether that money was worth it, since he thinks job hunting is all about who you know anyway. So here's the debate: is paying for professional help a smart move or a waste when you could just ask a friend to look it over? Curious what you all think, especially if you've dropped real money on this kind of thing.
