With so many people out of work, about to be out of work or worrying they may become part of the great mass of unemployed, it's no surprise that resumes across the land are being written, rewritten and turned loose on a fearful, if diminishing, band of recruiters.
By the hundreds resumes pour in. Some even have all the words spelled right.
Pity, for a moment, the poor job seeker, who, having stared at his or her resume on the screen for what seems like hours, despairs of further review. For them comes Resume Donkey.
Nothing unique or cutting edge here; just a low cost pair of eyes belonging to a writer, HR professional or hiring manager, whose task it is for the price of a fancy dinner out, to review a resume, catch mistakes and make recommendations for improvement.
The $49.95 Resume Review is the company's signature review. The fee buys recommendations, changes and revisions. Translating that into a new version is up to the job seeker.
Considering a resume may be some of the most critical writing a person does, a $50 review is cheap insurance. For the price of a fancy dinner and a very fancy bottle of wine, a Resume Donkey contractor will write the whole resume.
There's no shortage of these services out there. But the four hiring managers and recruiters who founded Resume Donkey despaired of the quality of the written words they got from job seekers. So Morgan Brown, Graeme Brown, Brett Coin and Alex Fitzpatrick decided that a low cost resume service, staffed by professional HR people and writers, was needed to give job seekers some basic resume help.
Thus was born Resume Donkey.
Should you be a recruiter with a flair or at least a command of the mechanics of the English language, Resume Donkey is offering moonlighting work.
