Should I hire someone to do my resume ?

An HR VP asked: Should I hire someone to do my resume ? After all I am in the resume business !!

My Answer:

Is it advisable for an attorney to represent herself  in her own trial? Should Tiger Woods be his own coach?  Do CEOs negotiate their own salaries? You can certainly do your own resume but you have only your perspective, while a resume specialist has a wider view.  Moreover, you are attached to your history, the specialist has no emotional attachments to bias the construction of your resume. Of Course, it should go without saying: You should choose help wisely.
