Site Questions (Job Seekers):

Is workinpr.com free for the job seeker?
Yes. Workinpr.com services are free to all job seekers.

I have a resume posted on workinpr.com, but I just recently found a job and do not want employers to see my resume. Is there a way for me to keep my resume in the database, but "hide" it from employers?
Yes. You can disable your resume at any time. To do so, go to the Job Seekers section (www.workinpr.com/candidates), and login with your username and password where it says, "already registered". Click on the "Manage Resume" button and select the option to disable your resume. This will ensure your resume will not be seen by employers, but it will remain in our database should you decide to enable it at a later time.

I'd like to have my resume reviewed by your PR panel. How does it work?
To explain the process, the Resume Review is $100, and your resume will be reviewed by our panel of four PR Professionals (averaging 8+ years experience in public relations). The panel members will each review your resume and make edits and recommendations based on their individual PR experience. The panel will also conduct a thorough review on the mechanics and formatting of your resume.

To proceed with the resume review, just send your resume to info@workinpr.com and an invoice will be sent to you. We will begin the review process immediately, and once we receive payment, we will send you your resume along with our first round of comments/suggestions. Depending on the resume, we usually seek additional input from the candidate after the first round of edits, and then review the resume a second time to offer final suggestions.
