Was this very expensive? I’ve been out of work for too long. I had an easier time finding work when I was first trying to get into the field with no experience. I’ve already wasted time and money on resume rewrites that turn out to be useless though.

It was not and it was worth it in my case. My resume needed very little help. What I didn't know was how to get past the filters and processes that are used now. If you're good at that, you may not need help, but I did get more responses after I really beefed-up my LinkedIn (grueling) and wrote individualized reply letters to every match that I liked from Indeed.
