Paid $180 for a LinkedIn profile rewrite and got ghosted by recruiters
I tried one of those career coach services that promise to make your profile pop for hiring managers. Cost me $180 and took two weeks to get the new text back, which was basically just buzzwords I could've found in a free template. Then I noticed my connection requests actually dropped because the thing sounded like a robot wrote it. Has anyone else gotten burned by these premium resume services, or did you find one that was actually worth the cash?

That "basically just buzzwords" thing cuts both ways though, because hiring managers skim fast and a lot of them actually search for those exact keywords when they filter profiles. A plain profile with no buzzwords can get buried before a human ever reads it, so paying someone to jam the right terms in isn't crazy on its own. The real problem sounds like the writing was trash, not the idea of paying for it.
