Has anyone opted for EC to evaluate a resume after graduation? If so, was it worth your money? What other resume critique options are there out there?

As an LPN I had a free resume critique..... but via EC for my RN gotta pay!

Thanks everyone.

P.S. This is the info from the site.

Resume Critique is a unique service offered to Excelsior College alumni (regardless of when you graduated from the College)!

A nominal fee of $25 defrays the cost of a professional career counselor's critique of your resume (the College pays the remainder of the $40 fee as an alumni benefit).

That doesn't sound too bad ... do they provide a detailed critique for the money, I hope? Not just a "this thing sucks, you'd better fix it" or something? :D I've never used a service like that -- are they typically pretty expensive? Just wondering if $25 is a good deal, or if you'd be better off redacting identifiers and trying your resume out on us. :)

That very cheap, If they mark the resume and told you how to fix it.Some places charge $200 to develop a resume. I personally would buy a resume book and do it myself or have a good friend to look at it. There are so many ways to set them up. You could PM me and I will look it over and critique it for free or just go with EC if you just dont have a clue. Good Luck!

Let us know, but I would be careful. They had misspellings and such in the CPNE study guide, which presumably went through many hands with errors before a final draft was printed--with errors. For resume content issues, it may be a good deal. For a final draft free of errors, it may not be. I am in a field where a resume with a single error will put a potential employee out of the running for a job, so I'm a little sensitive to this (and I'm anal).

I doubt that EC had career counselors edit the study guide. (Or maybe they did; thus, the misspellings. LOL)
