Better still, if the agency is going to alter your resume, make sure you
get a copy *before* they send it, so you can review it to make sure they
aren't making claims about you that you can't support, and while you're
at it, check their edits. It's bad enough for an interviewer to spot an
error in your resume, but for it to be an error you didn't make would
be particularly galling.

Another benefit of Gene's advice is that it gives you an idea of how headhunters represent you to HR/Hiring Authorities. It helps tailoring the next resume iteration.
