Why should I invest in a resume?
A professionally written resume is based on an objective third party’s interpretation of your skills, knowledge and experience. Many people find it difficult to analyse themselves and may fail to recognise transferable skills. Having us involved will highlight your strengths and present them professionally, increasing your chances of being selected for interview.
We also have experience from the recruiter and employer perspective so have up to date knowledge of what will capture the reader’s interest and what is best avoided. In addition, we stay informed about current trends via online groups and discussions, meaning you don’t have to.
What do I need to provide for the resume interview?
We will need to sight copies of your qualifications and any versions of your resume you already have will assist. We will also ask you to provide links to three advertised roles which reflect your target positions.
How is my resume created?
We write your resume based on the information you provide during your resume interview. Whether conducted over the phone or Zoom we will ask you questions designed to discover the detail required to write a professional resume. We will then create your resume and provide you with a proof within three business days.

Employment and/or voluntary work experience history: companies, titles and start & finish dates
