Free Professional 
Resume Help
A vital part of securing a job is 
sending an impressive resume 
to a potential employer. Gesher 
Human Services is now ensuring 
local jobseekers get expert help 
in preparing their resume with-
out a hefty fee. 
 September is International 
Update Your Resume Month, 
and during September and 
October, the Southfield-based 
nonprofit organization will be 
holding a series of workshops for 
job seekers to understand how 
to prepare an outline of their 
resume. 
 After attending a workshop, 
participants will schedule a 
one-on-one meeting with a 
career expert. Most career staff at 
Gesher are now Certified Profes-
sional Resume Writers through 
the Professional Association 
of Resume Writers and Career 
Coaches. 
 A February 2023 survey of 90 
professional resume writers by 
Career Sidekick found that the 
average cost of a professional re-
sume was $527. The professional 
resume writing assistance at 
Gesher Human Services is free. 
 Job seekers can find additional 
information and register for 
the workshops at geshermi.org/
event-calendar.
“If you are looking for a job, 
you must have an updated 
resume. It’s really the only way 
to get to the next step of the job 
application process, which is 
the interview,
” said Director of 
Business and Career Services 
Jason Charnas. 
The workshops will be held 
in person at Gesher Human 
Services (29699 Southfield Road, 
Southfield) and last approx-
imately one hour. Scheduled
