Professional Resume

The job market remains competitive and having a professional resume tailored for your preferred role and industry is extremely important. Having a high quality visual impact resume can improve your opportunity for short-listing.

Your resume is the single most important factor in advancing your career. It is often the only way for you to communicate with your hiring manager, and show that you have what it takes. Your resume must sell your skills, achievements and experiences, and must be perfect when it comes to format, grammar and style. We can improve all aspects of your resume, and significantly increase your chances of landing your dream job.

We develop your profile and outline your career overview, key strengths, capabilities and unique experience/skills. We ensure that you communicate your qualifications/ education / training, past companies, as fit for the role and importantly showcase your achievements.

Response to Selection Criteria

Addressing the selection criteria is just as important as a strong resume.

A Response to the Selection Criteria is becoming more common and employers will generally specify requirements in the job advertisement. You need to showcase your achievements and clearly and concisely provide evidence as to how you are the best candidate for the job.

Local, state and federal government employers require applicants to address selection criteria in a job application. Your job is to convince them that is you, by addressing each selection criteria in turn and demonstrating how well you satisfy each requirement.

We take all the hard work out of responding to key selection criteria, and greatly improve your chances of getting the interview and securing the role.

Our coaching will extract your experiences and achievements. We analyse your strengths, skills, and experiences and create a response document that will prove to the employer that you are good fit for the role and the organisational culture.

It is important for us when writing selection criteria response for you that we understand you, your experiences, and personality. This helps us when we are writing the selection criteria responses for you. We also research the employer, and what they are looking for in their values, competencies and individuals.
