Landing a rewarding Job

The perfect gift for a high school, college or university graduate: a professional career counsellor?
My goodness: $50 for a professionally produced resume. You can not do it yourself? If you can't should you be applying for the job?
Several thousand dollars can buy career coaching, interview coaching and a step-by-step plan on how to land a rewarding job.
People are willing to spend upward of $40,000 to get a MBA but then don't spend a penny on learning how to get the job they want. If they are capable of getting a MBA surely they don't need career counselling, they can give it.
The article points out an important point that it is not easy finding bona fide counsellors.
The resume is now a marketing tool according to the article, hasn't it always been.
Interesting, another career opportunity but not for those who looking for jobs. What a strange world that we need people to write resumes for us and point us in the right direction.
