Rip off resume companies

Why do resume mills produce utter crap?

At Republic Resumes we don’t charge top dollar for a resume but we’re not the cheapest in town.

We do more than insert keywords from a job description, add achievements, update the layout and improve the grammar.

We communicate your Unique Selling Proposition to the employer and create a compelling and relevant career narrative. These two factors are time and skill-intensive.

Cheap resume services don’t have the margins to hire high-quality talent.

Their writers lack commercial nous to make sound decisions on which aspects of your career need to be emphasised.

Bad resume writers cost more than money

It can take months of sending out a bad resume to realise that you’ve thrown away opportunities and wasted time on pointless interviews and missed out on income.

You might have even settled for a job that you’re overqualified for. You could spend the next 10 years stuck in roles that don’t challenge or excite you.

You rely on chance

A professional resume writer will position you as the obvious, unique solution to a hiring manager’s problem. A cheap resume-mill writer, in contrast, will compensate for their lack of commercial acumen with keyword stuffing to try make it past the recruiter’s screening technology.

You’re just a number

In order to survive cheap resume writers need to maintain a high client churn rate, a transactional approach to sales and a high level of product standardisation. Yet your career history contains unique quirks, moves and highlights.

These nuances require the attention of a skilled, experienced, creative professional who is not watching the clock, but who will create a cohesive narrative that aligns with your career direction.
