What is a Professional Certified Resume Writer? A Certified Resume Writer is an internationally recognised qualification that ensures excellence in resume writing. Certified Resume Writers must undergo high standards of training and development, education and professional accreditation; and demonstrate excellence using best practice and industry expertise in marketing clients.
What kind of information do you need from me? In order to highlight your unique achievements, contributions, and key experiences we require specific information pertaining to your career history, education, training and qualifications/knowledge.
What is the difference between a CV and a Resume? A Curriculum Vitae (CV) is a comprehensive profile of your entire working life, usually several pages long and reserved only for positions requiring an in-depth investigation of your personal history such as those in academia. A resume should be more succinct, well presented, easy to read and understand, and should summarise your relevant skills, achievements, experience, and qualifications focused on your specific career objective.
I have to provide Selection Criteria for my application, can you help? Yes! Selection criteria responses need to be specific and relevant to the position that you are applying for. In most cases you need to substantiate your abilities, qualifications, knowledge, skills, and experiences through providing evidence-based examples of your capabilities and capacity to perform the role. The majority of our clients find it difficult to transfer the skills they possess and results they have achieved into words, that effectively and proactively market them.
An expert writer will be able to objectively and professionally develop selection criteria responses, that will clearly give you the competitive edge and improve the quality of your written applications, helping you to secure more interviews and prospective job offers.
Do I need a Cover Letter? Most definitely! It accompanies any resume/curriculum vitae and selection criteria statement you send; and is a way of introducing yourself and demonstrating your capabilities for the position.
When do I make payment?
Payment is required in full prior to the start of any project. Our services include up to two drafts of the resume and statement of selection criteria, advice from a professional resume writer, and the final resume and statement addressing key selection criteria in word and pdf. format.
