Would you pay a recruitment consultant a small fee to rewrite your CV?

I think it's a good service on the one hand, on the other hand it might give your employer-to-be the idea that you are good at certain tasks which you are not. If you are good at writing a CV, the chances are bigger that you are good at writing formal letters and such aswell. So I do think the CV should represent you, even if that means it's very basic. The way to go would be CV training, to learn the person how to make the CV better themselves. I would pay for that if I needed it, as it would also improve your own skills which will also help with a new job .

Hi wondericequeen. Yes, I'd definitely pay a fee of $10 if I thought I needed the assistance to make my CV look better and more appealing. That's very inexpensive for that, I think. I have a niece who occasionally does that for doctors and lawyers and charges a hefty fee for it. But then, I think they print them on high quality paper and all that.

I have my sister who is in HR to help me with resume related matters like that. It sounds like you have the opportunity to have a small word of mouth business though. Your fee sounds very reasonable. I don't think $25 would even be too much, depending on the amount of work it needs. $10 for a polish up and $25 for a whole new one would be an idea.

Although i have never done such a thing... i think if the situation arises... i will hire a recruitment consultant to rewrite my CV... i know i am good at it... but there are times when we need professional help in this matter... and that $10 is not too expensive...

Hmmm... I won't. Fortunately for me, I have friends who will do the same thing (review and rewrite my CV) for free. One of my friend improved my CV in my job application before. I don't know if the CV did matter for me to eventually join the company, nevertheless, my friend and I enjoyed a nice dinner when I got my first payroll from that job.

Hi friend! First of all, don't mistake me if am dis agreeing with your discussion. CV's are those that should be prepared by oneself , coz you know better than anyone! May be few outline tips we can get from others, but the internal stuffs and all should be keyed by us! This is just my opinion friend.. don't mistake me.. Cheers

If i wanted soe help maybe yes i would. However till now i have always written my CV myself. And this has been based on experience of what the interviewers look for and further what i as an interviewer would look for.

Well, If I have an agreement with such person that I would pay him or her for such work, and I find the result very much satisfying, then obviously I will. Though despite the absence of an agreement for payment, I would still give something to the person as an act of gratitude. It could be in the form of cash or in kind.

If the result is nice i don't have any problem to pay him. I even take the help of my friends to make a CV.
