Now I had thought of that -- professional shidduch resumes

But I don't think the commentator was really proposing that idea. I think it far more likely that s/he picked up on the word resume as a place to promote services and didn't understand what a shidduch resume is.
My comment moderation caught an interesting attempt to advertise. The comment was for a post I did several weeks ago on my poll on shidduch resumes. This is what it says: An insightful post on "Shidduch resume poll".An important point is a resume and cover letters are the marketing tools that helps the candidate to land in a perfect position. So it’s better to hire a professional service. One such specialized service is http://www.all-trades-resume-writing.com/

But, hey, why not? We can start a professional resume writing service for shidduchim. Like business resumes, they can tailor each one for the particular position sought. When pitching to a yeshiva bochur who wishes to learn in kollel for several years, it would be written one way. When pitching to an ambitious young man who aspires to macher status and the type of wife machers prefer, it would be written a different way. Then there are the pitches for Zionist types that would stress a love for Israel and a plan to live there. If pitching to a rabbi who may be moving around, the resume could include stresses on flexibility and a love of travel. Quite a scope there.
