What does your resume say about you?Resume writing is often overlooked as part of the job-seeking process. There's more to it than just firing up Word and jotting down descriptions. What it says and how it looks say a lot about you as a professional. Your resume or CV (curriculum vitae) is the first impression your prospective employer will have of you before you even meet, and they will form an opinion in a matter of seconds. Do you want your application to be buried in a pile of paperwork amongst everyone else, or do you want your employer to notice you immediately and think, "Wow"? As a former professional resume writer, I helped inject the wow factor into job applications, offering a combination of resume writing expertise and an eye for design to transform an ordinary document into a unique, fresh and polished profile. My specialties encompassed:

I took the time to find out more about the client, where they worked, what they were good at, what they enjoyed, and their career goals.
After undertaking research on their previous, current and future roles, I then developed and optimised their profile to be structured, professional and consistent, highlighted their skills and strengths, and tailored their profile to their industry. They also benefitted from a compelling and articulate cover letter that was highly personalised to them, addressed the key criteria for the position, aligned them perfectly with their targeted role, and ultimately demonstrated why they were the best person for the job. The client's entire profile was transformed into an attention-grabbing application to make them stand out and get their foot in the door. |
Each and every resume and cover letter I crafted was tailored to each individual. No two documents were alike. Everything I wrote was from scratch, and everything I designed was hand-picked―font, colour, layout, everything. With a bespoke resume design service, the client could customise their document any way their liked, whether they wanted something dynamic and bright, classic with a soft touch, or something in between. Any particular concerns they had could also be addressed. Perhaps they had a working gap, were switching to a different career, were a school-leaver with little to no experience, were a recent graduate, were stay-at-home parent returning to work, or were leaving their self-employed business to move back into the workforce. Whatever situation they were in, I turned their perceived negatives into positives and strengths. I was dedicated to ensuring each of my clients were happy and felt confident in securing their dream job. |
