I did some research a while back and would go with one of the following:

ResumeEdge.com
CareerPerfect.com
ResumeWriters.com
E-resume.net

There are thousands of resume writing services being offered on the internet but these four are by far the most trusted ones. I think the quality of work produced by them would be almost similar. It really depends on what writer you get assigned to, how well you explain to them what you want from your resume etc.

Be wary of search results from Google on "best resume writing". Many resume writing companies hae put up their own websites that look like unbiased research and guess which one on the list is the top rated?

Did you get ur resume done by any of these companies ? Do you know anybody who has used these services, moreover I would like to know if this really works in terms of getting more interviews

I have not used them personally. But a very close friend of mine used e-resume.net when he graduated 5 yrs ago and showed me his resume. It looked really very professional - much better than what i had at that time.

I don't know about getting more job interviews, but here's the thing: these days most recruiters use electronic tools to scan resumes and filter candidates. Many of these resume services claim that they can write resumes such that they rate highly on these systems.

Hi,

Well I have to say that it did make a difference, they could describe my 10 yrs of experience in 2 pages. I am getting quite a few calls, but if I have to do it again, I'll go with ResumeEdge.com, I beleive they are good at working on IT resumes.

Hi Kaiser,

Thank you for your feedback. Sorry to bother you with one more question:

Why do you say ResumeEdge.com is better? Did anyone you know used them and got better results than careerperfect.com?

Thank you.

I wouldnt say better results but they did have better looking resume's highlighting the tech skills. Also careerperfect took the liberty of changing certain keywords if it didn't make sense to them, for some reason they changed JProbe to JCode.
