    The article starts with a chatgpt question and response and even acknowledges that the information may be incorrect. Then why are you posting it? Still a good article besides this one issue I have.

      > The global resume writing industry was valued at approximately $1.37 billion in 2024 and is expected to grow steadily, reaching around $1.44 billion by 2025, and about $1.59 billion by 2033. This represents a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.2% between 2025 and 2033.

      This is... not correct math.

        good catch. i'll remove the CAGR bit. it's not really relevant to the rest of the post anyway
