Hi ladies.
I am concerned that my resume, which I just paid a professional to rewrite, is not effective. With my experience I feel that I should be receiving calls to interview; however, that is not happening. Can anyone recommend someone who might offer guidance in this area?

What have you done so far in your job search? Where do you have your resume posted? How often are you updating those profiles? Is your LinkedIn profile filled out and up to date? Where are you looking for positions?

Get a call with your writer. Ask them if it's possible to recheck it, and try to create a targeted resume. It's way more effective to land a job. Your resume might have a problem with the ATS examining process used by some employer, or your qualification must be written in a more effective way. If your writer can't correct those, you can try online resume builder to help you. Browse through this list here, hope this help!

Tailoring your resume for the jobs you are applying for is crucial, as well as your networking strategy. What are you doing to network and create leads for yourself?

Even though you had your resume professionally written, you still should be tailoring it to each job description which you didn't mention in your post. This helps both the Applicant Tracking system pick up on keywords and the recruiter/hiring manager understand your skill set towards the job better.
I would do as Elizabeth mentioned and see if the service you used has a guarantee or at least the ability to re-write it but again it should be done for each job description.

I find many writing services are too specific and only help at one point in time. I think it’s better to share some “how to fish” tips explaining the reason behind certain changes. Otherwise you don’t know where to progress from the one version you receive back.
