Are companies calling you? That's all the feedback you need.

If you go to a head hunter or placement service they will review your resume. But you may not want to work with head hunter or placement agency.

Getting feedback on your resume is pretty easy:
- Contact the company/recruiter who may have rejected you.
"Hello, I know that you found a more suitable candidate for the position. I was hoping that you might send me some feedback on my resume, and any suggestions regarding how I presented myself in the interview. Thank you for your time, etc"
A lot of colleges, or hiring agencies will also provide resume proofing services, and even run mock interviews with you. Ask a fellow professional whom you get along with to take a look as well.
Last but not least Google is your friend :-P
Ted, if you've never applied with your resume before then I suggest asking someone who has a career in your field to take a look - hopefully someone who's been involved in hiring for their company. Barring that, anyone with recruiting experience will be able to give you pointers. Step #2 very much applies here.
The important thing is not to apply with a flawed resume and miss opportunities that interest you. It's easy enough to ask someone for advice. Best of luck!

Has anyone tried #1 when not given an interview and did it result in useful feedback?
– Brandin
Nov 10 '15 at 15:35
@Brandin - I have done that before. The company actually sent me a couple of pretty good pointers. I think most people feel pretty good about being asked for their input/advice. Of course not everyone will bother to reply, but what can you do?

My personal experience corroborates this answer, I find that generally people are more than willing to offer you opinions and advice on your resume. It might even increase your chances in a future application to their firm since you've shown that you are able to be critical of your own work and accepting of other peoples' opinions.
