Paying for job search help such as using headhunters, professional resume writers, Linkedin, ECT worth it? Why or why not?

I'd say that it's not worth it because you find great online solutions for most of it online for free. If you have Word there are already templates for professional looking resumes, cover letters and reference sheets and you can google "[enter name of profession or position you want here] resume sample" and get tons of ideas.
You can find jobs online, in newspapers, and go door to door to the places that you would want to work at to find work. You can also post your resume for free on internet job sites.
The only thing that I think that people would really need help with is assistance with the interview process. Most counties offer assistance for this for free, you just have to call around. In my city I know that the Department of Social Services works with a career center that offers help with training you how to respond to interview questions, how to dress, how to shake hands, how to act, posture, eye contact etc. They go through it all and here you don't have to be a part of the CalWorks program. You can just walk in for info and set register for their next training. So for me paying for a company to help me find a job or to build skills isn't worth it. -
