Your resume is one of the most important documents you will ever require. It
has the potential to open up opportunities or close them off leaving you
frustrated and defeated.

Employers, recruiters and employment personnel frequently assess hundreds
of applications for a position.

 
An effective resume must reflect your qualifications, skills and
abilities as well as create an immediate positive response.
It needs to capture the attention of the reader by being interesting,
clear, easy to read and concise.
It should effortlessly demonstrate the match between the skills and
experience you have and what the employer wants.

It is easy to misinterpret written information, if your resume is inadequately
written; they may fail to notice how ideal you are for the job.

Selection Criteria Response

If you are applying for a role in the public sector then you will be required to
address the selection criteria. This is an element of the government
selection process and it is imperative that you respond correctly, as it is
highly competitive. It is common for hundreds of applications to be
submitted.

To be competitive, your response must comprehensively address the
essential and desirable criteria to prevent you from being eliminated in the
early stages. You need to provide information to convince them of your
appropriateness and you will be expected to present relevant examples to
support each claim. Your application will be assessed by a selection panel
who determine your suitability for an interview based on the quality of the
response. The process follows a strict protocol to ensure that the
recruitment process is fair and just.

Even if you have extensive experience or currently work in a government
role, if you neglect to address the criteria effectively, you will not be
considered for an interview.

We have a comprehensive understanding of selection criteria
requirements and are able to construct professional, highly competitive
responses based on your skills and experience. We clearly demonstrate your
ability to perform the job against each separate criterion and use our
considerable expertise to provide you with the best possible chance of
obtaining an interview.

Cover Letters

A cover letter is a professional introduction to your potential employer or
recruitment agency. You are expected to include a cover letter with your
resume when you apply for a position. It is used to highlight your skills,
experience and attributes against the job specifications. First impressions
count and a cover letter is your opportunity to capture the recruiter's
attention and persuade them that you deserve an interview. As an added
bonus, it can maximise the potential of having your resume read
comprehensively rather than quickly scanned. Make the most of this brief
moment to convince the employer that you are a strong contender for the
role.

We can produce a powerful, competitive cover letter for an advertised
position or structured to effectively target your preferred employers.

 
E-resumes

E-resumes are specifically designed for internet job posting or email
applications. They retain their formatting in a broad range of systems. Using
a formatted e-resume for on-line submissions ensures that your resume will
make an impact under any condition.

We can supply you with a resume saved as a PDF file or format your resume
so that the content remains intact whilst the presentation remains clear,
concise and easy to read.
