Lately I don’t get any reply to my CVs, how much would it cost me to hire a professional to write my CV? (self.cscareerquestions)

I tried to rewrite my CV on multiple occasions but nothing works; so I’m thinking to hire someone else to write it for me. I don’t know how much it would cost nor where to find such a person

(I updated my previous post with a couple more thoughts that you might have missed)

If residency is in question, I’d explicitly put it on your resume that you have authority to work in whatever country. Whatever makes the recruiters job easier.

I’ve never had any concerns over someone’s email provider, but I’d double check it’s not getting caught in some spam filter or something. (Usually folks call)

How long have you been having this problem? In the US, there’s been a ton of layoffs and we’ve had a ton of excellent candidates in the recent months applying. Additionally, hiring at my company has slowed down a bit since February and will probably pick up in April May timeframe.
