Questionable Resume Writing Services

<p class="MsoNormal">In my effort to find a new position in either South Africa or in Dubai I registered on quite a few employment sites: WisdomGulfJobs (www.wisdomjobsgulf.com) being one of them (part of the WisdomJobs group - www.wisdomjobs.com). I received a call from them suggesting that I my CV would receive more consideration if it was professionally written. Having written professional do***ents for most of my career I was interested in what they had to offer, hence I signed up for the Resume Writing service. However, the draft I receive contained the following:</p> <p class="MsoListParagraphCxSpFirst" style="text-indent: -18.0pt; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1;"><!-- [if !supportLists]--><span style="font-family: Symbol; mso-fareast-font-family: Symbol; mso-bidi-font-family: Symbol;">·<span style="font-stretch: normal; font-size: 7pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman';"> * </span></span>Included with my basic information was someone other person’s work history – a person who has worked at Orange in Romania.</p> <p class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="text-indent: -18.0pt; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1;"><!-- [if !supportLists]--><span style="font-family: Symbol; mso-fareast-font-family: Symbol; mso-bidi-font-family: Symbol;">·<span style="font-stretch: normal; font-size: 7pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman';"> * </span></span><!--[endif]-->There were spelling errors.</p> <p class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="text-indent: -18.0pt; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1;"><!-- [if !supportLists]--><span style="font-family: Symbol; mso-fareast-font-family: Symbol; mso-bidi-font-family: Symbol;">·<span style="font-stretch: normal; font-size: 7pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman';"> * </span></span><!--[endif]-->Since the draft was produced in Microsoft Word I expected that people using this product would understand most of the functionality of the product, e.g. Track Changes. I returned the draft with Track changes switch on (Microsoft Word) and yet the next draft contained exactly what the first draft did only presented in a different format. My comments or corrections were addressed or included. </p> <p class="MsoListParagraphCxSpLast" style="text-indent: -18.0pt; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1;"><!-- [if !supportLists]--><span style="font-family: Symbol; mso-fareast-font-family: Symbol; mso-bidi-font-family: Symbol;">·<span style="font-stretch: normal; font-size: 7pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman';"> * </span></span><!--[endif]-->My main areas of expertise were listed as Test ****yst and Project Manager when I am a Business ****yst and Systems ****yst with some test ****ysis experience.</p> <p class="MsoNormal">After looking at the quality of do***ents produced I requested a refund. However, I have been badgered by the consultant who produced these do***ents. I have not received a single response from the manager even though he has been included in emails.</p> <p class="MsoNormal">Since it seems very unlikely that I will receive a refund I would like to warn people to be very weary of making use of the services of such companies.</p> <p> </p>
