Hi Dhanashri,

Most coaches offer CV review services - my recommendation is to go with the coach you think would be most knowledgeable/committed.

In the end, “worth it” is a calculation on your end. Any professional help you get improves your odds of success by x%.

If the size of the prize is, say, a $160k salary, and a resume review improves those odds by even 1%, your expected return is $1,600…not a bad return on investment!

While I agree with the overall statement made, the calculation isn't valid: The author is actively employed, so the "size of the price" is simply the differential amount between the current and the potential future compensation.

Hi Dhanashri! PrepLounge coaches are perhaps one of the best resource that you can leverage for CV/resume review and coaching. Most coaches offer CV review as part of their service. Feel free to approach coaches and message them. After discussing with the coaches - you can take a call on which coach you want to do a CV review session with.

Hi there,

I agree with the other coaches that PrepLounge is most probably one of the best platforms to get your CV (and application files in general) reviewed.

I would advise you to make your decision based on your personal list of top companies (i.e. even if most coaches will be able to provide a valid CV review no matter the target company, focus areas to look at might still slightly differ) and your personal impression of the PrepLounge coach.

I'd be more than happy to work with you and review your CV. Please feel free to contact me directly.

I hope this helps,

Hagen

Hi!

Most of the coaches here on PL offer CV improvement services.

There are similar solutions online but they focus only on specific aspects of CV-making.

Hope this helps.

Best,

Anto
