Your Resume’s ROI

The CEO of an online job search community was asked if job seekers should have their resumes professionally written. He said "The answer is a resounding YES!"

The average compensation of our members is $180,000 with an average tenure of 5 years. That makes the value of the next job $900,000. If you were marketing a product worth nearly $1 million in revenue, would you write the advertising copy yourself? Not likely. So why would you write your resume without professional assistance?"

Praise for Yellow Brick Path

“I hadn't even considered updating my resume or getting ready for a job search effort in more than 20 years, so obviously I had both some trepidation and skepticism about this process. Not being in a state of immediate need made this investment a difficult decision initially. It shouldn't have been. In fact, I should have done it sooner. My experience with you has resoundingly addressed my initial concerns. I am proud of the resume and bio we created together, and I also feel much more comfortable about where I am today and the prospects for an active search effort, when and if that time comes. I am more relaxed and confident as a result - and that benefits both myself and my current employer.” CEO, Medical Device Company
