I've been looking for my next project management opertunity for months, and only gotten a hand full of phone interviews. I think its time to get help with my resume. Who can I trust that won't charge me an arm and a leg? Saving Changes...
Assuming you've already followed the advice of the multiple online resources available for assessing and improving your resume, the issue might be less with the resume and more with your method of getting an interview. Have these been positions where you've done a warm application (i.e. through a mutual contact) or are you doing cold applications?

I am happy to help - Feel free to visit my website rmkcoaching.com and initiate a request but before you do that, can you please advise:
1) what is “ the arm and leg for you” ?
2) What exactly do you need ? Resume review and high level advise or rework for your whole resume.

Hello Timothy,
If you would want a non-professional opinion feel free to send me your resume in private, I can take a look (no charge).
Otherwise if you are looking for professional recruitment analysis you can try fiverr where there are lot of offers to help you adapt your resume. The advantage is thart most of the time the services are not very expensive and you can select the best rated ones.
A few interesting resources:
- Resume Bullet Analyser: helps analyse your resume points and gives you an overview of the words you are using. It will help to adjust it and to have more key-action words on your CV.

- Resume Scanner: helps scan your resume and see how it matches with the job description. Useful when trying to adapt your resume to the offer.

- LinkedIn Career Explorer: It's a good tool to identify skills for a specific role and you can try to use that to shape your resume as well as identify gaps to work on to have a stronger candidacy

It's very important for you to adjust your resume to the job description as recruitment systems (Applicant Tracking System - known as ATS) do a first scan of keywords and if it does not match the job description you have a very small chance for a human to actually read your resume.
