Resume and Cover Letter Writing

Engaging a professional writer to create your resume and cover letter helps you achieve better success with your job search, secure more interviews and target roles that you may have felt were previously out of your reach.

I work with you to uncover your unique skills, attributes and previous accomplishments to write a positive, achievement focused resume that makes you stand out in a competitive job market. I have helped thousands of individuals across all industry sectors (both public and private) and levels of seniority to create compelling resumes and targeted cover letters that have more chance of cutting through.

In addition to Australia, I also have specific expertise preparing documents for Asia, the United Kingdom (UK), and United Arab Emirates (UAE).

LinkedIn Profile Writing

If you are not on LinkedIn – now is the time to join. With more than 7 million members in Australia (78M+ in Asia and the Pacific) and the majority of recruiters using LinkedIn to research talent and/or at least screen candidates, it’s almost as important as your resume and cover letter.

This service provides a complete LinkedIn profile writing and positioning strategy. I will develop tailored content that brands and positions you in your chosen market. I will upload your photo and LinkedIn content, make suggestions on relevant groups to help grow your network, and provide tips on accessing the hidden job market.

I will also ensure your profile achieves ‘All Star’ status and help you understand how to maintain it.

Selection Criteria

Writing selection criteria and capability statements can be a daunting and time consuming process. With a tried and tested approach incorporating the STAR model, I will draw out all the information required to prepare an effective response to your chosen role.

I work one on one with you to help identify specific examples that clearly demonstrate the required skills, attributes, abilities, knowledge, and behaviours; then write responses that are clear, concise, and contain all the relevant keywords while meeting any specific word or page limits.

I have achieved outstanding success creating exceptional applications for the Australian Public Service, state and local government, not-for-profit (NFP), non-government organisations (NGO) and commercial roles requiring selection criteria.

Personal Bio

Many industries require individuals to provide a brief biography as a way to introduce yourself to clients or potential clients.

A good bio should highlight your previous career achievements, list credentials, and emphasise any projects of note. Bios are always short and sweet, containing only highly relevant information.

This service helps you identify what information to include then presents it in a short, sharp and compelling way. Once written, you bio can be formatted into our own template, or one provided by you – including a photo and your logo if required – saved to PDF ready for distribution, inclusion in tenders, or uploading online.
