I am not an advocate of these programs because each of us is unique and we do not all fit into a preset format. In her book, Work It!, Allison Hemming describes them as “Mc Resumes.” They can be a big disadvantage.
Employers recognize these canned programs because they all look alike. There is nothing that distinguishes your resume from anyone else.
A resume should reflect your qualifications in the best light so that the employer is more inclined to want to meet with you in person to further discuss your background and experience.
Do not be afraid to work on your own resume. With access to a computer you can put together a winning resume every time, without the expense or hassle of a service or program.
