Resume Writing Services

Has anyone ever had their resume done by a resume service?? I have never had to use a resume to get a job so I am finding myself now having to compose one from scratch! I am trying to obtain an entry-level position in a hospital so I need to get one together ASAP. I don't have the energy or time to research and compose my own so I was considering going through Monster.com. It is pretty pricey, but may be worth it to me if they can just hand me over a few copies and I can start applying as soon as possible. Today I have to worry about Anatomy homework as well so anything to expedite the process would be great.

If you have had a resume done through an online service, were you pleased? Do you think it was worth the money? Can you recommend a service other than Monstor.com??? Thanks!

Why don't you just google "resume"? I'll just bet there are lots of services to choose from.

I did "google". I just wanted some more personal advice, success stories from other nurses. :)

Recommend you think about doing it yourself. Delegating it to someone else still involves a lot of time. And you'll always remember later something you left out earlier.

Another suggestion: Find a good book and work on it piecemeal.

My resume was so basic it was funny. It took me about 10 minutes to compose. Applying for RN jobs became to easy. One interview I attended (I had already accepted a job elsewhere, but I just didnt want to cancel). I wore a "wife-beater" and jeans, put some drywall dust on my shirt and told them I was helping a friend and lost track of time.

They ended up calling me and made an offer:rotfl:
