Community Idea: Should We Create a Resume Review Section for Peer Feedback?

Dear Moderato,

Why can't we have a section where people can upload their resumes for reviews, and other members can review them and give their suggestions? Additionally, you can charge consultants for accessing the database of resumes.

Thanks,
Pranati

I think this would be a useful thing too. However, for the individual who uploads their resume, it's a case of "Buyer Beware!"

In the end, the individual will still have to decide how to utilize the feedback and take responsibility for any resume or CV they submit to an employer. I have an interest in this as it is the primary theme of my website, but I do see real value in peer feedback.

The other point that comes to mind is that anyone offering a resume for review by peers should take care not to provide details that allow unwelcome contact - not just from individuals with ill intentions but also from consultants selling their services. I believe services should be at the request of an individual when and only if asked for.
