Default Resume Services

Does anyone here have any recommendations for resume services in the Calgary area?

I have been with the same company for over 20 years and am looking at possibly making a change. It has been a long time since I wrote up a resume.

Not in Calgary (he is in Sherwood Park), but it doesn't matter because everything is done online/via email.

I have had excellent success and been very happy with the work that Mark has done for me in the past.

I am in Calgary as well and got a company to do mine out of Edmonton. I believe it was called Edmonton Resume Services. The gentleman I dealt with was good and created a very nice resume. You can also get your Linked In updated as well. Not cheap but worth it.

I’ve reviewed a lot of resumes in my line of work. Most people while they may be good at their profession should not write their own resume. Some are really bad and a cover letter and resume are the first step in setting that first impression.

Good for you for getting one professionally done. I think it’s a step in the right direction.

I have used Julie at High Impact Resumes a few times. She is based in Edmonton but does everything over the phone and via e-mail. She was very thorough and did an excellent job for me. After re-writing my resume I was offered a job with a significant increase in compensation. In my book it's money well spent.

I keep in contact with her fairly regularly to keep things up to date. Any new experience, position, promotion, etc, should be updated to keep things fresh.
