True or False. A resume should always be one page.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Answer: If you answered true, then you should consult a professional<\/p>\n<p>Answer 2: If you still think the answer is true, you REALLY need a professional.<\/p>\n<p><strong>2. Given a choice, you should have a friend, neighbor or relative write your resume or fix your brakes on your car.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Answer: It is more dangerous to have a non-professional write your resume than it is to have them fix your brakes. Your career can have a value into the millions and a poor resume will keep you from the best opportunities where as a bad break job has a much lower risk potential.<\/p>\n<p><strong>3. What is the best day to apply for a job?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Answer: Ask a professional resume writer or ask your neighbor who just fixed your brakes.<\/p>\n<p><strong>4. It is cheaper to write your own resume?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Answer: The bigger question is what would be lost by not having your resume done professionally. If for example, it took six months to find out a home made resume wasn\u2019t working, then the cost of doing it yourself might be \u00bd a year\u2019s pay which is definitely more than a resume writer would charge you.<\/p>\n<p><strong>5. What could possibly go wrong when doing my own resume?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Answer: Please reread this article from the top of the page.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><b>\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n<h2>About RazorEdgeResumes<\/h2>\n<p>RazorEdgeResumes is the executive resume writing division of A Better Resume Service, Inc., with\u00a0more than 25 years of professional resume writing experience.
