Hi,

I want to use a resume-review service but I'm afraid that most agencies and freelancers I found online are too generic. Anyone had a good experience with an online CV review services?

thanks

What kind of review are you looking for?

Posting it on HN is going to be a pretty good review in itself (though possibly a bit harsh).

Agreed - send it to me (email in profile) and will happily give it a review for nothing but the lolz, but if you want a wider review Insuggest putting the on GitHub as markdown (or rest) and asking for pull requests / comments

In fact I would do that for the above.

Everything really, from grammar/spelling errors up to improved descriptions.

HN could be pretty harsh indeed, but it's a good idea. I wonder if/how it could be done retaining some privacy - I'm afraid it could somehow get back on me in the future as I see future job opportunities via HN.

I believe the subreddit cscareerquestions provides a venue for this, if that helps.
