CareerBuilder's "FREE" Resume Review - Here's Why It's Free!
As promised,here's my review of CareerBuilder's new service cbResumeReview. They are promoting this great new service to job seekers - "Get a FREE critique of your Resume!" I submitted my resume at 11:40am and actually noted the time because I wanted to let everyone know what sort of timeframe to expect. I received and email that my review was complete at 11:42am. WOW! They can critique my 2 page resume in 2 minutes? What a joke! I received a "generic" email that had absolutely no personalization except for my name - check it out. What a disappointment and waste of my time. I don't recommend using this service. he review I discussed in my March 11th post, CareerBuilder's Free Resume Review Is Bot-Driven Junk was totally accurate - it's JUNK!!

CareerBuilder's Free Resume Review Is Bot-Driven Junk
Found the following review on CareerBuilder's Free Resume Review. Here's the start of the article and below is a link to the entire article. Has anyone tried this yet? If so, let us know if your experience was similar. I submitted my resume and will let you know what I find out.
Sometimes"'free" means "wow what a great bargain," and sometimes it just mean worthless. CareerBuilder offers a free resume review on their site—enter your email address, upload your resume, and "we'll email you the results of your free evaluation, including tips on writing a resume that will help you land the interview." All it really does is collect your address so it can send you unsolicited email (we got spammed 30 minutes later), and your "review" is just a boilerplate page of generic advice.
