Outsourced Resume Writing

I recently got an email solicitation from someone in another country, offering to do resume writing on my behalf for job seekers. In other words, he wanted to do the back-end work of my Resume Writing Team, charge me peanuts, and let me charge my clients big bucks. I rejected his offer because it didn't feel ethical and because I strongly maintain that there's only one way to produce an effective resume: The resume writer must work directly with the job seeker (in person or by phone and email).

If you're thinking of hiring a professional resume writer, be careful! There are many fine professional resume writers who provide personalized attention to their clients, resulting in wonderful resumes. However, there are also resume companies who promise personalized resumes when, in fact, they are using the type of service reflected in this email solicitation I got. (Note: I have not corrected the grammatical and spelling errors in this person's email. I have only deleted words that would indicate his identity.)

As you know at the moment, there is great potential for outsourcing freelance resume writers from [country]. This could not only reduce the volume of your work but also give a boost to your price structure. In other words, you could outsource any of your resume writing work to me for a mutually agreeable price.

My advice for hiring a professional resume writer
Always speak directly to the person who will be writing your resume. Never fill out a form online and then pay someone with whom you've never spoken, to create your resume. If you do, it will likely be prepared by someone like the person who wrote me that email solicitation.
