Question:
Tell me about Executive Career Resource Group and Executive More Resume Than Writing ?
I have been looking over this outfit, which bills itself as a "Career
Consulting Service." This probably means that they will edit my resume
and give me tips -- for a price. And they, like others of this type,
claim they are "especially effective" for certain types of job-seekers
(I'm one of those types). They have offices in Philly, Boston, Hartford,
Providence, Stamford CT, and the Princeton NJ area.
I wonder if anyone reading this knows the Executive Career Resource Group
and would care to comment on their effectiveness. If you don't know them
specifically, it's OK to comment on this kind of service in general --
although I have been reading up on "career consulting services" and know
some of the pitfalls in dealing with them already -- because others who
read this may be interested in hearing your comments.
Answer:
-I'm not familiar with this company, so I won't comment on their work.
They may have valuable advice to offer; they may help you find a
better job. One thing's for sure; they're in business to make money
for themselves, so bear that in mind.
In general people who want to upgrade their career track should spend
nothing more than the calories, gasoline or bus fare to get to their
local public library, which should stock a number of books and
periodicals on career growth and job hunting. There are books on
resume writing, marketing, speaking, writing, you name it. People who
are enrolled in or have graduated from a college or university usually
have access to some sort of career counseling office on campus. Then,
there's this website
