1. Professional Resume

In today's competitive market, it is important to stand out from the crowd. Secure more role interviews by engaging one of our expert professional writers  and consultants to prepare you a new professional resume.

 

Your resume will be written in a proven professional format.  We can tailor the resume for your preferred role and industry or write you a generic resume that you can adjust to suit different positions. Your Resume Writer will ask you to send them your information and links to any roles you wish to apply for. They will then work with you to highlight your relevant skills, experience and achievements, giving you the best possible chance of securing a place on your future organisations shortlist.

 

Your resume will include:

• Career Profile (paragraph headline that sums you up)

• Key Strengths, Experience and Skills  (key messages, dot points)

• Work Experience  and Achievements (following the context, action, result format & quantitative information)

• Qualifications (professional development and educational outcomes)

• Project Accomplishments (where applicable)

• Interests (Hobbies, activities)

• Referees (listed or provided for a later date)

 

2. Customised Cover Letter

A customised cover letter enables you to draw out the important parts of your resume for the reader.  The vast majority of employers will only consider a candidate who has included a cover letter with their role application. In our experience, applicants who include a tailored cover letter, written in the same writing style as their resume, are more likely to be shortlisted for roles.

 

Stand out from the crowd by engaging one of our professional writers to write a customised cover letter for you that highlights your relevant skills, experience and qualifications and outlines the reasons why you are suitable for the role. Again, we will tailor your cover letter for a specific role, or write a general cover letter for you that you can adjust to suit different positions.

 

3. Key Selection Criteria responses

The majority of local, state and federal government employers require applicants to address key selection criteria (KSC) for the role they have advertised.   Our writers have extensive experience preparing government role applications and know what it takes to produce a successful KSC response. Your writer will ask you to provide them with specific examples from your work that demonstrate how you meet each selection criteria. We will then use these examples to write a detailed response to each key selection criteria, working closely with you throughout the process.
