linkedin profiles

Everyone needs a professional LinkedIn profile to advance their career – many hiring organisations source candidates from LinkedIn.

affordable, realistic prices

Many writing services that advertise in Australia, are overseas’ based. That’s the reason for (very often) highly inflated prices including multiple hundreds of dollars for resumes and selection criteria applications. As an Australia-based organisation, our prices are totally affordable and tailored for the Australian job market.

quality guaranteed resumes

All our professional resumes are ‘Quality Guaranteed’ which means that if you are not entirely satisfied with your completed document or convinced that it will achieve interviews for you, we offer a full refund. Most resume writing services do not offer this ‘peace of mind’ guarantee.

ATS optimised documents

The majority of resume writing services in Australia are overseas based and use totally non-ATS compliant resume templates (see non-compliant examples HERE). As a result, while these templates may look visually appealing, they are not, in fact, ATS compliant nor suitable for the Australian job market.

ongoing resume edits

Our professional resumes are inclusive of free ongoing future edits any time that your circumstances change such as change of contact information, change of referees, additional training/ qualifications, additional job positions. Your confidential documents are always retained on file.

Request a free Resume Health Check today!

The job market today has never been more competitive with most advertised job vacancies attracting upwards of hundreds of applications. If you think a home-made resume (including a template you have got off the web) is going to achieve an interview for you, think again!

Our ATS & Resume Health Check is totally obligation free and provides a full run-down on every element of your resume from the template you have used, the content, and the placement of data. In the first instance, it checks if it will even get past an Applicant Tracking System; and secondly, the likelihood of it achieving an interview for you.
