If you are applying for roles in Australia, your resume needs to work for two audiences: the ATS (applicant tracking system) and the hiring manager. The Perfect Resume is a resume and cover letter service built to do both.
We focus on clear positioning, role alignment, and evidence of impact, so you do not blend in with every other applicant.
