What many job seekers cannot do is modify the presentation of their experience and background to fit a certain employment market. Ineffective resumes are very often the result of poor or nonexistent marketing plans. This failure is especially damaging for the executive, upper level manager, and experienced professional. Acorn charges $500 for a resume and job search consultations because I spend time with you, planning how to make your resume part of an effective job search strategy. I also write your resume; I don't give it to someone else to finish. In the end, you will approach employers with a well thought out plan that highlights your most marketable skills. With a resume from Acorn, you will get more interviews and significantly shorten your job search.
