Do you want a resume that wins you interviews?

We are passionate about working with people to help them really sell themselves in their job applications. Too often people underplay their skills and achievements in their resume and cover letter. Resumes are often confusing, too long, overly detailed or in an old fashioned format. People don't really know where to start and feel overwhelmed! But we can help.

You will meet with your resume writer (Emma or Rachel) for an in depth consultation. This is so that we can really get to know your career history. We workshop your skills, achievements and professional profile at this meeting.

We then write your new resume (and cover letter and LinkedIn profile depending on your package), removing your pain of having to write the job application. However we'll ensure your application still sounds like you!

We always incorporate the job key selection criteria into each job application resume and cover letter.

So not only do we do all the work for you, you will most likely get an interview for your next dream job! The bonus interview tip sheet plus optional interview coaching (package add-on) will then help you to shine in the job interview.

So are you ready for a career change with minimal stress?

THE PROCESS

A get to know you, obligation-free chat

After you contact us we’ll call you for a chat to help us understand your background and goals. We’ll discuss the best package option for you, make sure we can work to your job application deadline, and book in a time for your consultation if you decide to go ahead.

Preparation

Once we’ve locked in a time you send us your current resume, cover letter and a job/position description so that we can get started on your new resume and prepare for your consultation. We’ll have a rough draft of your new resume ready at your consultation to help guide the session.

In-depth consultation

In this session (online via Zoom) we’ll deep dive into your career history, establish and flesh out your key skills, workshop your key achievements and draft a professional profile. This will ensure we have all the information needed to write your new resume (and cover letter and KSC response, depending on your package).

Your consultation goes for 1.5 - 2 hours, which probably sounds long, but there will be a LOT to talk about! (We often find people love talking about their resumes and career journey, but actually writing a job application is their worst nightmare!)

Resume, Cover Letter and Key Selection Criteria response

After your consultation we then do all the work for you and write your new, modern, professional resume (and cover letter and KSC response depending on your package), which will be tailored for one job. This will be emailed to you within 3 working days of your consultation, usually sooner.

2 x revisions and full email support

After you’ve received the first draft you’ll need to provide input to answer any questions and to make sure you are happy - we want to make sure you are comfortable with the language/tone and ensure your voice is heard! After this we'll revise the resume and cover letter (version 2) and then we both do an edit (version 3). By this stage your job application will be ready to submit! (Further versions can be completed if necessary - we want you to be happy.)

Fast turn-around times

We turnaround the first draft within a three working days of your consultation, usually two days. The whole process is usually complete within a week following your consultation, assuming you return the documents (each version) within a day or so. If you have short deadline for a job application, make sure you ask if we can work to that deadline when you first contact us.

LinkedIn Profile

Once you are totally happy with your resume, we create or update your LinkedIn profile, ensuring it is key word optimised so you’ll get picked up in recruitment searches.

Packages

Do you offer refunds?

Due to the enormous amount of time that we put into each application, we don’t offer refunds.

However, we pledge to work with you until you are completely happy with the final version of your CV, cover letter and LinkedIn profile – even if this means doing more than the standard three drafts of the documents.
