Affordable, realistic prices
We are often asked “why are your prices not hundreds of dollars like most professional resume and key selection criteria writing services?” That’s a good question, and there are two answers: unlike most writing services we are based in Australia, and secondly, we simply cannot justify the inflated prices that many resume and key selection criteria writing services charge their clients.
Quality Guaranteed or full refund
We are one of Australia’s most recommended resume writing services as we achieve exceptional results for our clients across Australia. additionally, and equally important, we are also one of the very few resume writing services in Australia that offer a 100% refund in the event that you are not entirely convinced your new professional resume will achieve interviews for you.
Selection Criteria Specialists
Total Resume Service are government job specialists in writing professional resumes as well as Key Selection Criteria for government applications (local, state, federal) positions at every level. Gaining a government position generally offers significant benefits in that there are firstly, numerous opportunities to professionally advance with the department or agency, and secondly, the salary grades are usually higher than the private sector.
Career Entry Resumes
Looking to kick start your professional career? If you have just finished Uni and are looking for internships, graduate programs and/or entry level positions, we specialise in attention-grabbing resumes that place you ahead of the (often) hundreds of applicants vying for the same position. When you are up against other applicants that have the same qualifications and credentials, it’s all about selling your ‘value proposition’ and what you can bring to the hiring organisation.
What our clients think of us
Resume transformation! I contacted Nicholas and he was very professional and understood the nature of my current work and the job I want to apply for. He was very informative, friendly and gave me confidence to move forward in my career. My resume looks amazing and the responses to the KSC explained my experiences very well. I couldn't speak highly enough of his services. I applied for a role within hours of receiving my resume and within one day I received a call for an interview for next week.
Highly recommend. Excellent and professional service. I did my resume update through TRS. The day I started applying for a role, I started getting calls. Though it took longer than expected to secure a role but I was sure that my resume was working and getting interviews. Thanks to Nick and his team for their tremendous work on my resume. Very professional and always available to help. I called a number of times to Nick and he was very helpful and kind willing to support. Thank you Nick.
I've never had such a well written resume! I was seriously blown away when I received my resume. I felt like employing myself! Nick is very professional and an expert in the field. I am very happy I have got their services. Would recommend them anytime.

Hi Nick, Just letting you know that I have accepted a permanent position with the NSW government department. What a difference having a professional resume and cover letter has made! Thank you so much for your assistance here, I am now over the moon with this outcome.
Hello Nicolas, I wanted to let you know I got accepted into the recruitment pool for KEMH that means I am on standby when a position comes up. And on Friday I got the news I have a 6-month contract at the Children’s Hospital. I can’t believe it that I have this opportunity. I want to again thank you as I feel the resume and documents got me in the front door. I will be recommending your services to my friends.
Hi Nicholas, it blows me away how professional my resume and application reads now. I’m very happy with your results provided to me. It’s fantastic.
Looks great. I wouldn't have been able to articulate it as well as you have, thank you so much! It's definitely given me a better understanding of what's required. I feel so much more confident applying now and have already passed on your details to friends that I know would benefit from your services. Much appreciated!
