Resume Writing Challenge: Enter to Win
Attention professional and amateur resume writers...
It's been a full year; it's officially time to update my resume.
Despite writing this blog and staying ahead of the curve on online career resources, I realize that I've hit a wall. It's time for fresh eyes to come in and give my resume a tweak - or an overhaul.
Over the years, we've received many e-mails asking if hiring someone to re-write your resume is worth the money. Here's the answer: I have no idea, but I'm about to find out.
Welcome to the Jobacle Resume Challenge. The mission, should you accept to choose it, is simple. Take my current resume and rework it as you see fit. Make your changes and the results will be featured on Jobacle.com. A winner will be chosen by our panel of Jobacle writers. We'll explain the process of working with a resume writer to our readers and provide your link and contact information - even if you don't win.
The winner will receive bragging rights, an approved Jobacle icon to place on their Web site, a three-month banner on Jobacle.com announcing your superior resume writing skills and a $100 donation to the charity of your choice.
Interested? Fill out this form to get started. There's no set criteria. Our writers and readers will know an amazing resume when they see it. (But we are suckers for creativity).
Challenge runs until September 15, 2008. Resume will be provided after you indicate you are interested. Good luck!

That was a great idea for a contest. Shame I missed out on this one. Who won anyways? Have you published the outcome of the challenge? I'd be interested to know.

Paraphrasing the content without distorting the substance
Re-arranging of the presentation for great visual appeal
This makes resume re-writing a highly-skilled job , best left to expert / professional resume-writers.
But converting one's plain text resume into
8 visual / analytical graphs
Re-arranging these graphs into thousands of unique combinations
- and doing this Online / Automatically / Instantly , is something which is impossible without the help of an intelligent software.
It took me quite some time to develop precisely such a software – then make it freely available to all at

But
Before sending that well-written resume to a recruiter, can a jobseeker figure-out in advance what would happen if that resume
gets " rated / ranked / scored " by recruiter ?
gets compared automatically with resumes of other applicants ?
Will she get an interview-call ?
To know what is likely to happen , she has to just type "Resume Rater" in Google / Yahoo / Bing , and download this software tool ( free and without even login ) from any of the 35+ websites. Then rate her resume.
Resume Rater mimics the " resume-evaluation " process of recruiters’ minds but does it in an unbiased / objective way.
Resume Rater is absolutely non – discriminatory.
