Without professional help, many end up with ineffective resumes or unproductive search campaigns. Each week the job seeker is out of work, they lose money. Money that might have been recouped faster, if they invested in the right tools to conduct their search. People set up savings accounts for home repair, a new computer, or their children’s education.
