I also agree that one headhunter may value a resume over another. Our job as experts in the career industry is to produce a resume that will be <a href="http://www.grahammanagement.com" rel="nofollow">strategic and effective</a> depending on our client's specific background and job target. In this blog post, I have only reported information. I have made no assumptions at all. In fact, I suggest that you do your research before retaining any resume firm. I'll repeat my last paragraph again, just in case you missed it the first time: "As a proponent of ethics and integrity in the career industry, my job is to "shine the light" on the issue. If you are a $100k professional, a career practitioner, or another interested party, do your research. Read all points of view with an open mind. Try to discern the intent and meaning behind allegations and rebuttals. Then, make an informed decision that you can support."

Every career service, including online career tools earns revenue from offering their services. What proof do you have that the ladders shoots down resumes that are good? What facts support an opinion? Obviously that is a rhetorical question because there are no facts to support an individual's opinion! One headhunter may value a resume over another and it lies on a case by case basis. You don't make any valid points in this article and you only throw out assumptions. State the facts versus assumptions please! Everyone has their own opinion on what a “good” resume looks like to present to an employer.
