OnlineResumeCritique.com is upfront in telling potential clients that they'll be charged for a critique that other resume consultants will provide for free. These competitors, however, are often trying to sell resume-writing services. OnlineResumeCritique.com, on the other hand, helps clients make their own revisions by offering evenhanded criticism, identifying both positive and negative aspects of earlier drafts.

The team of resume experts combines the linguistic skills of writers and editors with the industry experience of hiring managers and human resources professionals. Applying a 30-point checklist of effective resume traits, team members return not only their findings but also specific instructions on how to improve your CV, such as avoiding Wingdings as a font choice.
