About The Perfect Resume

Built to turn strong candidates into shortlisted candidates

The Perfect Resume Australia, Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane offers professional resume writing services, cover letters, selection criteria, and LinkedIn updates.

What are the reasons behind whether a candidate is shortlisted or rejected for an interview?

Melissa Peacock founded The Perfect Resume after seeing talented people repeatedly miss out despite having the right skills and experience.

Practical reasons

ATS format issues, missing keywords, unclear outcomes, and low relevance to role requirements.

Psychological reasons

Presentation bias, style assumptions, and unconscious preference patterns in shortlisting decisions.

What did Melissa do next?

She opened The Perfect Resume to help candidates produce ATS-compatible resumes, cover letters, selection criteria responses, and LinkedIn profiles that convert to interviews.
