Why use a resume book service?
While resume books are an excellent tool to help increase placements, it's also a timely process. Many career services professionals are tasked with reviewing and compiling numerous resumes in addition to their many other responsibilities. Outsourcing this task will enable you to free up time to focus on other priorities such as working with students on interviewing techniques and employer outreach. In addition, online resume databases that offer resume books don't necessarily vet resumes prior to inclusion. A resume book service will review and revise each resume to your specifications.
