Real People - Real Reviews

Landing a job in Sydney felt impossible until Roland stepped in. His resume writing and LinkedIn strategy helped me rethink everything. Within weeks, I had real traction, doors opened I hadn’t even considered, and I secured a 43% salary uplift.
Jessica T. (Resume/CV, LinkedIn and Career Consulting)

I’d been overlooked for months despite strong experience. The professional CV and ATS optimisation completely turned things around. The role I secured beat over 460 applicants on Seek.com.au. I’m ecstatic.
David N. (Professional CV Writing)

Thank you for a truly wonderful experience. Easily one of the best career investments I’ve ever made.

Learn More About Our Strategy

1) Market Identification

Clients who know their target market often achieve better results than those who opt for a more liberal or hybrid approach. This is because, once you know your target, the content of a professional resume can be tailored specifically to a market, sector, or position—or ideally, all of the above. You can then position your profile (brand) as a subject matter expert in your own right. If you are unsure about the direction of your resume or career, seek professional advice from one of our resume writers. We can then discuss the right strategy for you:

  • Hybrid resume
  • Targeted resume
  • Hyper- personalised resume

2) Our Award-Winning Content Model

The use of a competency-based framework (CBF) when preparing to write a resume is essential for underpinning the relevancy of content within both the resume and its intended market. Instead of simply listing job titles, responsibilities, and achievements blindly, integrating an award-winning CBF model ensures that the content will both remain relevant to the positions being applied for.

The focus is on:

  • Core, Competencies
  • Targeted Content
  • Industry-Specific
  • Achievements + High Impact Statements.

3) 100% Human-Written Content (Not AI)

The art of CV and resume writing lies in telling a compelling story—something AI simply can't replicate. Our content is engaging, strength-based, and crafted with a sharp focus that can only come from real-world recruitment experienceand knowledge of the Aussie market. That’s why our resumes consistently outperform the market.

Did you know? We use STAR (Situation, Task, Action, Result). We transform bland and generic statements into powerful, qualified, and value-added information that will set your resume apart from others.

4) Top 5% Rankings on ATS 2.0

ATS has evolved! The latest ATS 2.0 filters can now decipher human-written content, seek out value-added statements such as major accomplishments, identify key competencies in job descriptions, match industry-specific terminology, and even link back to social media signals.

Our resumes consistently achieve "high priority (Top 5%)" status in the most advanced ATS 2.0 algorithms. Best of all, your CV or Resume will never be penalised for AI/ChatGPT-generated content.

The 10 second rule!

With hundreds of CVs and resumes hitting a recruiter’s inbox for each job, it won’t surprise you to find out that over 90% 

of applications are rejected within the first 10 seconds of opening. 

The Right Resume Format Can You
10x more interviews

The STAR method = better resume performance

Recruiters, employers, and ATS 2.0 love resume content built around the STAR (Situation, Task, Action, Result) method.

By applying the STAR method, we transform bland and generic statements into powerful, qualified, and value-added information that will set you apart from the competition.

It’s why your resume will land more interviews, job offers, and increased pay.

All You Need to Know

THE OLD WAYS ARE FINISHED! ATS 2.0 is here, and it’s poised to transform the market. Resumes need to stay up to speed with these developments, as the old ways and methods of writing resumes to beat ATS systems may no longer be effective.
