At my age I was getting to the point of thinking this was it - never going to find employment again - and I had tried, and tried, and tried - but got nowhere. But when I approached you, you were able to put my mind at rest - you were able to take my experience and turn it into something that blew my mind. I am so excited, the new Resume not only look great, but it works and I got an interview for both jobs I applied for - now I just have to choose which one I want to take. Thanks again, and the short turnaround time was very much appreciated too.

- M.T. (Retail Manager)


Hello Elle, thank you very much - the level of detail is great. I appreciate your ability to succinctly collate my information in a speedy fashion and in such a way I know will attract the team of recruiters who will be going through the applications. Hopefully I won't need your services soon.

- M.W. (Government)


I was in total despair before I approached you. I had applied for so many jobs and didn't get to the interview once. I know my background in Fastfood didn't look very good, but you turned that around focussing on my customer service and managerial skills. And it worked. I sent it to the company I have always wanted to work for - and hadn't gotten to the interview AT ALL - and within a few days I received a phone call, and I start my new job next week. No more going home smelling like cooked chook. Thanks again, you are amazing.

- C.P. (Fast Food)


OK woman, you got talent! Thank you so much for your services. I am very excited about my new Cover Letter and Resume to apply for various roles soon. I don't need any changes or updates, it's like you know me, my skills and the work that I do - it's incredible, it's uncanny - and I have already passed on your details to a colleague who is also desperate to get out of this place. And with my new Resume, I can now do that. Thank you very much.

- E.C. (I.T and Project Management)

FAQ

CV or Resume, what do I need?

The terms CV and Resume are frequently used interchangeably in Australia, particularly Brisbane, which might be confusing. Because of this, it's crucial to read a Brisbane employer's job application notes and selection criteria and to get guidance from a qualified CV and Resume writer on the best course of action. If you apply for a position in Brisbane with a CV that is too long (CV) or too short (Resume), you'll probably be left off of the short list.

Brisbane Resume

A Resume is a one to three page document that highlights your skills, traits, education, and professional experience. It should highlight the significant assets you bring to the job vacancy and distinguish you from other applicants.

Brisbane CV

In addition to providing a summary of your experience and skills, a CV (curriculum vitae), which is typically required in academic settings or for highly technical roles, also lists your credentials specific to science, research, and academia, such as publications, presentations you have given, and references.

If your needs are urgent, the best approach is to phone or text me.

Resumes / CVs and Cover Letters

Your Cover Letter (covering letter) provides a concise summary of the "most relevant" knowledge, skills, and experience from your Resume as they apply to a particular Brisbane job.

What should a Cover Letter do?

Brisbane Employers (or computer bots) sift through Resume applications, so if they don't judge yours pertinent, they won't actually read it. Here, the key term is relevant. A unique (not generic) Cover Letter is required for every job application and is not optional. The main reason why people don't secure interviews is because they don't write a personalised Cover Letter for each job application.

To complement your Brisbane Resume or CV, you may give a narrative introduction of yourself in the Cover Letter. This provides you the chance to highlight your attributes that most closely fit an employer's selection criteria (what they are looking for in a candidate), as well as your interest in the position and company.

Linkedin and Executive Resumes

Many people refer to LinkedIn as "Facebook for Job Seekers." This professional social network has become an essential means of selling oneself for the career-oriented in Brisbane, Australia and internationally. You may also use the tools on LinkedIn directly to identify and secure your next employment opportunity while building the professional relationships you need.

The benefits and pitfalls of Resumes & Linkedin

While a well-written profile can draw Brisbane headhunters, recruiters, and direct opportunities, companies can also examine your truthfulness and credentials on Linkedin. Any contradictions between what you say on your Resume, CV, Linkedin profile, and "profile and activity" will be found and could cost you a spot on the short list or a job offer.

FAQ

Job selection criteria and Resumes

The majority of big-business positions, professional appointments, and government jobs in Brisbane and Australia call for you to "address" (respond to questions about) important selection criteria (KSC). Your abilities, knowledge, professional accomplishments, work ethic, and cultural fit as they correspond to the role are all covered by these selection criteria. They frequently have a qualitative dimension.Usually, there are 3 or 4 questions, but there could be as many as 12.

The purpose of Selection Criteria

Unlike generic documents like Resumes or CVs, selection criteria compels applicants to consider "what they add to an organisation". Employers want to make the best choice possible for them and their employees since they are about to invest a lot of time and money in you.

Addressing Selection Criteria

People often find it tricky to address the selection criteria when applying for jobs in Brisbane and Australia, thus they might be tempted to simply submit in a generic Resume instead. This is invariably a losing strategy, in my experience. You must describe in some detail how well you meet each of these selection criteria for a position in Brisbane. It is crucial that you meet the "essential" requirements, therefore don't scrimp on your responses. Additional "desirable" requirements are frequently listed, and you should do your very best to address these as well.

The Star Approach to Selection Criteria

There is a useful practice for addressing Selection Criteria, called The Star Approach (Situation or Task, Action Taken, Results Achieved), and this helps to discipline your thinking and structure your responses to meet a Brisbane employer's selection criteria.

Why you should avoid Resume 'Mills'

Writing Resumes and CVs that catch Brisbane companies' attention and land you interviews requires more than just "transcription and presentation" skills. It calls for talent, marketing savvy, and, most significantly, local expertise and familiarity with labour markets and cultural quirks. While it may appear on the surface to be a good deal for you, it's anything but. The "professional" writer receives 10% of your money when you use a Resume mill, which commonly uses exploited and unqualified labour overseas.

When considering your career in Brisbane, keep this in mind. An amateur writer or a substandard "AI" provided template cannot produce a professional result.

Robot Screening (ATS) & Resumes

Employers and recruiters in Brisbane are increasingly using automated computer applications to perform the initial screening of Resumes. Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS) are computer programs that scan through Resumes, Cover Letters, and other supporting materials using a robot-based algorithm. Only when the technology finds a match between a Resume and the job posting or selection criteria will it be reviewed by a human. The others are dismissed.

An ATS robot searches for terms (keywords) as well as details about previous employers, experience, and credentials. In order of potential interest to the employer, candidates are ranked. Imagine a Google search of your information; a potential employer in Brisbane would be interested in seeing results from a specific college, alumnus, or former workplace.

Resume Design disasters

Even if their Resume or CV may appear acceptable to an inexperienced eye, I frequently speak to people in Brisbane who never obtain interviews. The bad news is that having a Resume or CV with the incorrect format, layout, keywords, and structure can automatically eliminate you from interviews; even for entry-level jobs.

Resume and CV service fees

Resume writer pricing, Brisbane

Fees for my services depend upon the complexity of the job application, and the services package (Brisbane Resume, Cover Letter, Selection Criteria etc) required. They are all listed here:

When choosing a CV or Resume creator, be sure you are actually receiving Australian-based expert assistance. The Resume creation process takes hours. It stands to reason that if something is "cheap," the quality will reflect it. Does the individual with whom you spoke actually write the CV? Or will they hand it off to a contractor or junior?

Updating an old Resume or CV

It's likely that you haven't even glanced at your Resume or CV in years if you're returning to the workforce in Brisbane or being asked to reapply for your current positions or new roles within your employer's organisation.

Retrenched or returning to work in Brisbane

Are you curious to know what a Resume for a stay at home mum looks like? Employers are, unfortunately, more likely to rehire persons who have been laid off than mothers who have taken time out to raise their children and then need to return to the workforce. To prove your attributes in these cases, extra work and creativity are needed.

It's similarly difficult to apply for a job when forced to do so because of a downsizing or redundancy. Emphasising transferable skills to potential employers is a typical winning strategy.

What a CV or Resume
is designed to achieve

Resume, Brisbane, QLD

A CV or Resume has to meet three objectives: First, it needs to be scannable and thus properly indexed and understood by Applicant Tracking Software (ATS). Second, be read by the recruiter. Finally, be persuasive enough to get you short-listed for an interview.

A well written CV or Resume needs to address an employer's selection criteria, and give a compelling reason why your job application should get you through to a first round interview.

What a professional
CV or Resume can do

Resume, Brisbane, QLD

If you have been applying for jobs and not getting anywhere, chances are your CV or Resume is just not cutting through. Your CV or Resume is your advertising pitch, and you're competing with a lot of other people for a recruiter's attention.

Landing a good job can be worth hundreds of thousands of dollars over the course of a few years. Hiring a professional CV or Resume writer could be the best investment you ever make.

What benefits does expert
Resume help provide?

Resume, Brisbane, QLD

When you've been in recruitment for a long time (like me), you've undoubtedly seen the errors that even the most qualified candidates make on their CVs and Resumes. I am aware of what employers want in candidates and also how they evaluate Resumes or CVs.

A professional will help you through what can be a difficult process by evaluating your responses to the selection criteria and guiding you through the application process itself.

Other than a Resume
or CV, what do I need?

Resume, Brisbane, QLD

You must address what the employer specifically wants (their job selection criteria) in both a Resume and the Cover Letter to get shortlisted for an interview. Linkedin must be both professional and consistent with your Brisbane CV or Resume.

Meeting Selection Criteria, which can be difficult but is required if you want to be considered as a contender, is a typical need. The more the more senior the position the more hurdles you must clear.

What's the process for
authoring a CV or Resume?

I will walk you through the process by phone, email, or Zoom* (*most options). Order a package using the buttons below, and I'll get in touch with you by phone or email within 24 hours. When you're ready, we'll work together to create your Brisbane CV or Resume.

Why should I select you
to help create my Resume?

Resume, Brisbane, QLD

I am a graduate, I'm certified by CVRA, have worked in HR / recruiting for over 15 years in Perth, Brisbane, and other cities, and I have helped people build awesome Brisbane CVs and Resumes that get them interviews for over a decade.

You'll work with me personally. I won't flick you to a junior employee or an offshore contractor, which is sadly all too prevalent these days.
