RESUME WRITING
Would you like an updated resume that is ATS-compliant and engaging to read? By adding your personality to your resume, coupled with an eye-catching, modern, concise design, an employer gets a better sense of who you are as a person as opposed to just reading words on a page. We even apply psychological techniques to make you stand out and eliminate biases, including culture, over/under-qualified and age.
COVER LETTERS
A tailored cover letter introduces you to the hiring manager formally while increasing your chance of landing an interview by 40%. It is a brief one-page opening in which we align the responsibilities of the job to your experiences to show that you are the best candidate for the position.
SELECTION CRITERIA
Many government positions, universities and large corporate entities have a high demand for positions. To reduce the number of candidates applying for a role, employers request selection criteria be addressed. The selection criteria document is in addition to a tailored cover letter, and put simply, it is a listing of desirable and essential knowledge, skills and attitudes that an organisation requires the successful candidate to possess.
Are you applying for a job that needs selection criteria addressed? Make no mistake; this is a critical part of your job application that you need to get right. Using the STAR technique, we work together and address each criteria specifically, aligning with the hiring manager’s expectations.
LINKEDIN PROFILE
LinkedIn is widely used by recruiters to screen potential candidates. There is an art to making sure recruiters can find you on LinkedIn. We optimise LinkedIn profiles to have maximum engagement, ensuring that you have a keyword-optimised professional profile, so you are ready to start networking.
INTERVIEW PREPARATION
Going to an interview can be a daunting experience. You are under the spotlight in front of a panel of strangers, do most of the talking for a long time, and are expected to answer questions that you have not prepared for or even feel relevant. By looking at the position description, we create a list of potential, experience-based questions. This allows you to have a collection of examples ready to demonstrate your skills and expertise quickly. We also eliminate any anxieties you may have, discussing the desired appearance, body language, and how to impress the panel.
CAREER COUNSELLING
Career counselling can range from getting that promotion, supporting you through redundancy, changing your career or even just some help with your current role. This is a tailored experience unique to you. We look at your career history, identify what you have enjoyed and disliked, and then set goals, guiding you on a pathway to a future that you can enjoy. We can also investigate the barriers getting in between you and where you want to be.
The Perfect Resume Writing Service
To ensure your resume is applicant tracking system compliant while still being eye-catching for the final read, we get a snapshot of your experience, achievements and personal strengths to tailor your resume based on the jobs you are going for. Your Professional Resume Writer will also conduct industry research to pitch your resume at the correct level to ensure your content is relevant, then deliver your completed resume in both a Microsoft Word document and a PDF, ready for you to hit apply!
