FAQs

Should I invest in a professional resume writing service?

Yes!  Firstly, most people do not know what makes a winning resume or cover letter.  There is a lot of incorrect and conflicting information on the internet about resume content and resume formats, and it can be very confusing.  You may have a friend or relative who is an ace on the computer offer to write your resume, but they may not have the right knowledge or skills to do so.  Secondly, industries and even organisations can differ as to what they like to see on applications, and these change over time.  What used to be ok, just isn’t now. And finally, hiring a professional resume writer is an investment in your future.  How much would it cost you if you missed out on that next job, or took weeks longer to be hired?

How do I know if my current resume is up to industry standards?

The bottom line is that if you are sending out many applications and you are not being shortlisted, it is likely that your documents are not working effectively.  Many clients have a resume that is outdated in content or formatting but more importantly, it just doesn’t sell them well enough.  There is a lot more to writing a resume than listing all your information under different headings. Don’t risk getting it wrong – I’ve seen many documents that look good at face value, but they are definitely not hitting the mark, especially with correct content and wording.  Send your resume to and we will take a look at yours and let you know – free of charge!
