I was recently contacted by another resume service while in the process of searching...this one seemed a bit different,the preliminary critiques seemed a bit harsh though most likely necessary. But I wonder if it was a sight intimidation technique to get me to use their services. One of the critiques went like this :

The raw data, pulled directly from your resume-
"Your experience appears to be concentrated in Sales / General, with exposure to Marketing / Channel Management. You have 25 years of work experience, with little or no management experience."

Ok so...what of it? It's not like I can go back in time and apply for management experience,there are reasons for that. One is I didn't think I was ready early on,another was that after speaking with managers at my jobs it still seemed a bit overwhelming and frankly not worth the stresses. Also should I have bothered applying for manager if I or they didn't think I qualified?...Does it make me any less of a prospect if I seemed more like a follower than a leader? Not everyone can or may even want to take on those responsibilities. I've spoken with people over the years who were just fine with their positions...

It depends on the context of their critique ... are you looking for a management role?

Not especially...it was just a general resume critique.
