Paid $400 for a resume writer and got more callbacks in 2 weeks than 4 months of my own edits

Some folks swear a professional rewrite is the only way to beat ATS filters, others say it's a scam since ChatGPT can do it free, so which is it for people who actually spent the cash, and did the cost ever pay itself off for you or just burn a hole in your pocket?

Buddy of mine dropped $350 on one last year. Three interviews inside a week after months of nothing. He swears it was the keyword placement and the way they rewrote his bullet points to sound like actual results instead of duties. The crazy part is the same guy used ChatGPT to make a second version and got zero bites with it. Money hurt at first but he landed a job that paid way more than the resume cost within a month.
