That line about the clock telling otherwise is the real test, since a dull knife and lunch sharpening still burns a guy's whole day.

My own resume once had "detail oriented" spelled wrong, so I am clearly the last person who should be giving advice here. Still, I shelled out for a $200 review years ago and got back pretty much what a friend would have told me for free, so price clearly does not equal effort. The cheap gig worker thing makes sense though, because someone grinding out reviews at $15 a pop has probably seen hundreds of resumes and spots the small stuff fast. The $200 coach might just be better at talking than reading. My take is that a second set of eyes is worth something, but you do not need to pay fancy prices for it. A careful friend with a red pen can do the same job.
