- Lindsay mentions resume-editing services like Monster.com as alternatives to informal help.
- She notes those services use data and can be better than boutique options for many users.

- Say yes but set expectations: "I can look it over, I'm not a professional, but I'll give it my best shot."
- This removes pressure and helps the requester decide if they need another reviewer.

- Recommend they double-check with someone else for that area.
