Questionable Resume Tips, Part 3

Continued comments from yesterday.

The author of the email then tries to sell me on why I should become a client of his.

Here is the bottom line. There are many people out there who cannot find a job, so they are trying to make money telling others what to do. Some of these people are recruiters whose clients are reducing the number of searches, resulting in them extending their brand to coach job seekers. Some are HR professionals who have insights about the internal recruiting process, how to write resumes, and how to interview. Some are actual career coaches who are “certified” in older traditional methods or who don’t really have experience to understand real insider thinking. Some, started out by wanting to help others. Some, are very good.

The question is not their motive or their previous titles or their previous experience or their certifications but whether what they say is right!  You have to be the judge. If you are wrong, you will get hurt and waste money and time. If you are right, you can be tremendously helped and maximize you time and money.

That is why I write a blog and newsletter. You can see my thought process. I am blunt in my opinions. I am willing to share because what I know is only lightly touched in blogs and newsletters – plus I keep learning from others every day. That is why we offer multiple levels, including books and audios that are inexpensive but helpful. That is why I post testimonials from C-level executives and global groups (like Vistage, the FENG, and Golden Key) who support what I am saying. However, at the end of the day, it is you who gets to decide if our message is on target and worth sharing with others.

That is also why, for those wanting to help others, we also offer our course on Jobpreneurship™ which will help train the trainers. We will explain this area more in the future.

My point is that, whether you use Job Doctors International, LLC or someone else is your decision. There are many out there with fantastic ideas and others with questionable tips. Just, please be careful who you are listening to for your career and family guidance. Too much is at stake.
