I agree.

Don't waste money on "resume consultants".  In hiring technology staff, it's the
qualifications that matter.  Fancy layouts, wonky fonts, and nice paper don't
make up for the lack of qualifications.  No manager ever said "Hey, this person
doesn't have the needed skills.  But, let's interview him because he has a nice
looking resume."
