Note: none of this is tech specific but I really love resumes so I read this kind of stuff a lot

  • AskAManager rarely does resume reviews, but her blog posts and books have SO MUCH information. Right now, there's 126 blog posts tagged resume which is entirely free advice to get you started
  • CareerContessa is a similar blog which also has a bunch of blog posts tagged resume . I don't know how often she does resume reviews since I got mine "free" with an online course. The site is very girl power which is weird/intense at times but the resume info is solid

Those sites lean US specific resume advice, rather than exhaustive CV advice, but they do touch on it occasionally and the ideas around showing off your accomplishments and how to emphasize transferrable skills when career-changing are all relevant points.

The other angle I haven't tried yet is to hire an actual copywriter. Something like this one: Open Boat Editing. It wouldn't be evaluating your resume with an HR perspective but it would be taking your writing and making it stronger with a rewrite.
