I'd recommend one of HN's own, @fecak[1]. For the first time ever in 7 years, last year I was in a position where I had to create a resume and apply for a position -- needless to say, because I was lacking any experience in this matter, it all went horrible :) I noticed the valuable advice he was dispensing around here on HN, then saw his jobtipsforgeeks.com site which is packed with useful information. For example, I printed out his "How to Apply to Jobs"[2] article and used it as a guideline when applying because it made more sense than writing what just came to mind as I was applying (I hate canned stuff, I always researched the company and personalized my cover letter). Anyway, reading more and more articles on his website (especially the Java developers have longer resumes), I came to the conclusion that I have no idea what I'm doing and decided to use his professional services. He went above and beyond. Rewriting my way-too-long-java-developer-resume live in google docs, getting the time to know me and digging up some notable past accomplishments (why do we usually suck at this?) and all of this close to New Year's. He's very humble as well, don't let that fool you in thinking he's inexperienced -- I did, only when I saw the final result and the change in response rate did I realize what 20(?) years of experience look like :) Contact him.
