[QUOTE="Deset Gled, post: 5683645, member: 7808"] Well, $60 isn't that expensive. There are professional headhunting companies out there that charge more than that. For that price, it may be worth trying the resume and job-finding services. As long as you can cancel easily after 1 month, it couldn't hurt that much to try it out. FWIW, you shouldn't let yourself be discouraged by not hearing back from applications to government jobs. I once sent in a resume for a government job and finally got a call about it 5 months later (when I had already accepted a different job). I have a friend with a similar story: he actually had a full interview, then heard nothing for 6 months. He assumed he didn't get the position. Then, out of the blue, he got a phone call from the HR person giving him a job offer and demanding he make a decision right there on the phone; if he didn't accept right then and there, they would give the job to the next person on the list. He had already found another job, so he passed. [/QUOTE]
