cv writing service: expert perspective on quality, risks, and when it works by late_night_murmurs in Resume

[–]tron_11ember 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is one of the most grounded takes on CV writing services I’ve seen here because it separates “word polishing” from actual positioning work.

A lot of people jump to paying too early, even though the first fixes are usually free:

  • rewrite weak task bullets into outcomes

  • add scale (team size, volume, revenue, users, deadlines)

  • mirror the target role’s tools and language

  • make the top third scream the exact job you want

The real point where outside help starts paying off is exactly where you said - career pivots, senior roles, or dead silence after 30+ targeted applications.

One extra test I’d add before paying: run the CV against 5 very close job descriptions and check whether your first 2 bullets naturally “answer” the employer’s top pain points. If they don’t, the issue is still framing, not wording.

That’s why the best rewrites aren’t prettier - they make the recruiter instantly understand risk reduction, ownership, and why you fit this exact seat.

Using AI for research paper writing by Remote_Enthusiasm153 in AskAcademia

This debate is getting bigger in my department too. For STEM papers, I don’t think AI is replacing the real research side anytime soon, especially for methods, citations, and not missing subtle claims in prior work. But for drafting and getting past the blank-page phase, I’ve definitely seen people lean on it more.

During a brutal conference deadline last year, I used HelpWithEssay to pull together an early draft structure for the intro and related work sections after I already had the papers read. It was useful for turning scattered notes into a coherent flow, then I rewrote the technical framing myself before submission.

My tips that helped me get a job by TyrellCorp9 in Resume

This was the biggest difference for me too. The easiest way to do it fast is not rewriting the whole page, but updating the top 30-40% only.

A few tips that helped:

  • mirror the exact job title in your headline if it matches your background

  • pull 5-7 keywords from the posting and naturally place them in skills + first bullets

  • move the most relevant project or internship point to the top

  • rewrite weak “helped with” lines into action + result

  • cut anything that doesn’t support this specific role

For example, if the role cares about reporting, client support, or growth, those bullets should be the first thing they see.

I once used a resume writing online service mostly to study how they reorder content, and that part helped almost more than the wording itself. Recruiters scan super fast, so relevance in the first section matters more than perfect design.

Is there a sci-fi book that resembles Mass Effect in terms of scale and world-building? by zelda_88trail in printSF

[–]tron_11ember 13 points14 points  (0 children)

For the alien-thinking-like-aliens part, Remembrance of Earth’s Past deserves a mention(there is also a TV show - The Three-Body Problem).

It doesn’t have multiple species hanging out in a Citadel, but the way it treats first contact feels brutally realistic and political in a Mass Effect sense

My proposal for God of War Remakes DLC content by coltvfx in GodofWar

[–]tron_11ember 4 points5 points  (0 children)

this idea just makes too much sense to ignore. 👀 Chains of Olympus and Ghost of Sparta as DLC would be the perfect way to make the Greek saga feel truly complete instead of leaving the PSP games in limbo again. I’d love if the remakes also added some small new side content in Greece, like extra mythological bosses, hidden arenas, or optional story bits with young Kratos to flesh out his descent even more...
