The internet is full of guides that teach you how to write a resume for the Australian job market. Unfortunately, most of them are written by online resume builder companies with a vested interest in making you sign up for their platforms rather than making it easy for you to write a resume.

This resume writing guide is different – because, as 2024, I’ve personally trained over 50 resume writers to write excellent resumes that Australian recruiters love.

With this wealth of experience, I can also teach you how to write your resume. It’s easier than you think.

How To Write An Australian Resume in 8 Easy Steps:

• Learn the purpose of each resume section.
• Prepare to write.
• Decide on resume format and template.
• Create the resume header (your name, etc).
• Write the Key Skills section.
• Write the Employment History section.
• Fill out peripheral sections (education, etc).
• Write your Profile last.

I’ll also share a bonus trick that professional resume writers use to cut the amount of time it takes to write a resume by 50%.

Of course, you can avoid having to write a resume altogether by outsourcing the job to a good resume writer, or using a good resume builder.

Here are my recommendations:

• free resume builder , if you’re on a budget.
• best CV service , if you’re a mid-career professional.
• executive resume writing service , if you’re a senior leader.

Step 1: Learn The Purpose Of Each Resume Section.

Let me familiarise you with the essential elements of an Australian resume. I’ll show you what you must include in each section – and what you should exclude.

If you’ve written resumes before, feel free to skip this step.

Headline. A catchy one-liner that highlights your value as a candidate. Targeted to a specific role, it must pull in aspects of your desired job title, current skills, industry and keywords in the job ad.

Contact Information. Includes your Australian phone number, professional email address, address and LinkedIn profile URL.

Profile: A story-driven elevator pitch that showcases your skills, achievements, and experience. Don’t confuse this with a resume objective or a personal objective.

Employment Summary [Optional]. Gives the hiring manager a preview of your experience and encourages them to keep reading. Use it only if you have more than 3 roles under your belt.

Key Skills / Assets . Includes a combination of your hard and soft skills. Use either bullet form or short, punchy sentences.

Professional Experience. Presents your work history in reverse chronological order. Offers insight into mandates, responsibilities and achievements.

Earlier Career History [Optional]. Gives you the flexibility to list distant roles. If some of your work history falls outside of a 15-year window, put it here.

Education & Additional Sections. Lists your university degrees, certifications and courses.

Step 2: Prepare Yourself.

Preparation is a key part of learning how to write a resume. Strategy before tactics, as they say. Measure twice, cut once.

A. Pick Your Target Role.

A resume is a marketing document, not a historical record of your career. Its content will change depending on the role you decide to apply for.

This means you must narrow the list of jobs you’d like to apply for to one.

One dream job.

This will enable you to achieve maximum cut-through by targeting specific pain points of hiring managers on your resume.

Expert Tip.

If you’d like to target more than one role, you’ll need to create a resume for each one.

B. Know The Purpose Of Your Resume.

Your resume is a tool that demonstrates:

• Why you’re a fit for the job.
• How you’re different to 50 other similarly qualified candidates who sent in their resumes in response to the same job ad.

The second point is critical. There’s not much value in demonstrating that you can do the job if you can’t set yourself apart from your competition.

Your resume must clearly articulate how you’re uniquely able to solve a specific set of commercial challenges – and why you should be hired over similarly qualified candidates.

Unfortunately, most resume writing guides focus on the first point and miss the second one entirely. (This article focuses on both).

C. Study The Job Description.

We all get over-ambitious at times. Put on your hiring manager hat, read the job description and ask yourself:

• Am I a fit for the role?
• Can I see any experience gaps?

If you’re unsure, read the job ad again. Does it mention:

• Budget sizes that you haven’t managed?
• Team sizes that you haven’t led?
• Credentials that you don’t have?
• Years of experience that you haven’t yet attained?

Be honest with yourself. There’s a fine line between being ambitious and being foolish.

You’ll be competing against dozens of supremely qualified job seekers, so there’s little value in applying for roles you’re not a fit for.

You’ll simply be wasting your time and burning bridges.

D. Create An Outline.

Grab a piece of paper (or open a new Word document). Write down your:

• Employment dates in the last 15 years.
• Job titles.
• Mandates (i.e., were there specific reasons you were brought on?).
• Primary responsibility in each role. If you were responsible for projects, provide a quick summary of those.
• Top 3 accomplishments in each of your roles.

Last, reflect on the themes and values that underpin your work.

E. Block Off Time In Your Calendar.

Don’t try to write your Australian resume on the fly.

Surgery waiting rooms, hotel lobbies, train stations and childcare centres are not suitable environments for selling your best self in written form.

• Allocate 3 X 3-hour sessions towards writing your resume. Yes, nine hours in total.
• Block off these times in your calendar. Don’t treat them as poor cousin appointments that get pushed around by other stuff. Your career is on the line. Treat it with the respect it deserves.

F. Tame Your Inner Perfectionist .

Get your thoughts out first and polish them later.

You don’t have to write a perfect resume, one sentence at a time. It’s much easier to create a rough first draft and improve it.

Remember – excellent writing is rewriting.

G. Aim For Correct Length.

A lot of online resume builders advise you to limit your resume to one page in length.

This is nonsense in the context of the Australian job market – unless you’re writing a networking resume or a bio.

How long your resume should be will be determined primarily by your level of seniority. Use this as a rule of thumb:

• Graduates and interns : 1 page
• Junior managers and young professionals: 2 pages
• Middle managers and professionals: 3 pages
• Senior managers and executives: 3-5 pages

Step 3: Choose A Great Resume Template.

Don’t build your resume layout from scratch. There’s nothing worse than staring at an empty Word document with a blinking cursor or trying to design your own resume template.

It never ends well – trust me.

Give yourself a head start by downloading one of many free resume templates on the Internet or by using a resume builder.

Alternatively, download my free resume templates below:

Template 1: Download Now .

Template 2: Download Now .

Template 3: Download Now .

When browsing resume templates, look for those with  contemporary, clean, easy-on-the-eyes designs .

• Avoid old-school resume templates that make your resume look like it’s stuck in the 1990s.
• Choose designs that control the user experience and tell the hiring manager which elements to look at first. If a resume design doesn’t have a clear visual hierarchy , it will appear dense, confusing and “too much hard work”.

For this reason, stay away from two-column layouts. They often fail at presenting content in a visually hierarchical manner.

Notice, for example, how the resume example below dumps all of the information in front of you. The resume content isn’t easily skimmable and does not feel inviting to read:

Step 4: Decide On The Right Resume Format.

There are three resume formats: reverse chronological, functional, and combination.

Let me make this decision very easy for you:

• Use reverse chronological resume format if you have more than 1 role.
• Use functional resume format if you have no work experience (i.e., you’re a graduate).
• Don’t use the combination resume format , ever.

The reverse chronological resume format is best suited for professionals, managers and executives – because it puts a big spotlight on your most recent (and therefore important) roles.

It also gives employers an excellent overview of your career progression.

The functional resume format is best suited for graduates because it takes attention away from your most significant weakness – that you don’t have an employment history.

Instead, it highlights your strengths – academic achievements, transferable skills, communication skills and extra-curricular activities .

Step 5: Write A Killer Headline.

It’s time to start writing your resume.

Kick it off with a snappy headline that echoes the role you’re seeking, acknowledges your current job title and is buoyed by relevant skills, specialisations or achievements.

The headline should live in the resume header, right next to your name.

For example:

It’s immediately apparent that the person is Chief Financial Officer, operates in the Climate Technology space and has something to do with IPOs.

Here are a few other examples:

• Financial Controller | CPA | FP&A
• Sales Representative | Forex | Hedging
• Senior Supply Chain Manager | Planning & Execution
• IT Program Manager | CSM | PMP
• Executive Sales Director | Acquisition & Business Development

If you get stuck, refer back to the job ad and the position description. Ask yourself – what is their main pain point? Craft a headline that appears as an antidote.

Step 6: Enter Your Contact Details.

This section is self-explanatory, but let me provide a few critical nuances.

• Your Name. Use the [Firstname] [Lastname] format.
• Phone Number. Your mobile is fine. Include your country area code if applying internationally.
• LinkedIn URL. Did you know that you can change the default, ugly and long URL that LinkedIn gave you by default to one that’s simple, short and attractive? Here’s how to do it .
• Address. Some job seekers prefer to reveal their city and country; others list their full residential address. It’s up to you.
• Email Address . Ensure that it looks professional, and ideally, include at least one of your names. You could also consider purchasing a domain resembling your name and hosting your email address. ( Here’s how to do it ).
• Do Not Include your DOB, gender, marital status or photograph (read the full list of items that you shouldn’t include ).

Step 7: Write A (Very Basic) Profile.

Here’s a secret that only professional resume writers know about. If you use it, you’ll write your resume in 1/2 of the time.

Writing will be easier once you become more familiar with your commercial value. This usually happens after you detail your professional experience.

For now, I only want you to write a skeleton profile. List 5-10 bullet points that mention your:

• Significant achievements (e.g., you exceeded sales targets by 14% in Q3 2021).
• Major strengths (e.g., you’re highly analytical, can work under pressure).
• Educational milestones (e.g., an MBA, PMP, Agile, Scrum).
• Business impact (e.g., your work leads to a reduction in overhead costs, improved customer satisfaction, increased revenue).

Later, you’ll expand on these bullet points to create an impressive, fully-fledged Profile .

Step 8: Create The Key Skills (aka Key Assets) Section.

You must follow two golden rules when writing your skills section:

• Be relevant to the job you’re applying for
• Echo keywords from the target job ad

Let me show you how this works in real life.

This morning, I grabbed the job ad below from Australia’s favourite job site, Seek.

I’ve highlighted all keywords that jumped out at me as possible candidates for the Key Skills / Assets section:

This particular job ad was nice enough to offer a dedicated “Skills and Experience” section that I could draw on to grab the following:

• Excellent written and communication skills
• Deep understanding of financial markets across FX, crypto, commodities, energy and equities
• RG146 Certification
• Tertiary degree in Business or similar
• Existing network
• BDM or account management experience

First, notice that many of these requirements are not skills per see.

This employer wants to interview candidates who, besides having communication (soft) and finance (hard) skills, are tertiary qualified, certified finance professionals with plenty of connections and experience.

This is why I prefer to expand the purpose of this section to “Key Assets” rather than simply “Key Skills”.

By removing this constraint, you give yourself the freedom to present more of the exact attributes that the employer is looking for.

By the way, not all job ads will be kind enough to provide you with a dedicated skills section to draw on. Most of the time, you’ll need to scour the body of the ad itself for hints.

For example, the job ad above tells us that interested job seekers must have the ability to:

• Nurture warm, interested leads
• Develop existing client relationships
• Work with High Net Worth (HNW) individuals
• Provide insights on financial markets

Now that I’ve pulled those out, I’ll shape them into 3-5 assets that lead with a keyword and follow it with evidence. Here we go:

• Strong Results Focus. Experienced BDM with a proven ability to exceed targets in fast-paced, high-pressure sales environments by developing warm business leads and expanding existing accounts.
• Written and Communication Skills. Take complex and technical financial information and present it as actionable insights to clients and leadership teams.
• Stakeholder Management Skills. Success in establishing and developing strategic relationships with senior stakeholders, including HNW individuals, and influencing investing decisions.
• Degree Qualified ASIC Certified. Holding an MA (Business) from Sydney University and an Advanced Diploma in RG146 from TAFE NSW.

By the way, what’s the difference between hard skills and soft skills ?

• Hard skills  are technical. They can be measured and are directly related to your tasks (e.g., MySQL, Agile).
• Soft skills are personal. They are intangible and point to your intrinsic attributes (e.g., leadership skills, stakeholder management skills).

Step 9: Write Your Professional History.

Do not include every single role that you’ve had since university. Your job is to highlight, not list everything.

Here’s a guideline that will help you cull the chaff:

• Include between three and six of the most recent and relevant roles from the past 10 to 15 years.
• List remaining roles in an “Additional Work History” section that includes titles, organisations and tenure (I’ll show you how to do this later).

Once you’ve selected your roles, start listing them in reverse chronological order.

Your formatting of each role should look like this:

Notice how the section starts with very broad, high-level, strategic details to set the context, then drills into very tactical, high-resolution stuff to showcase the impact of your work.

The steps below show you how to write a resume just like that.

A. Enter Job Title And Dates.

Make sure these are correct. Do not stretch truths to cover up career gaps. You will get caught, and it will cost you dearly.

B. Spotlight The Company.

Write an employer snapshot. Keep it short (2-3 lines maximum) and provide insight into company size, history and industry. Here are a few examples.

International design house:

Medium-size private company:

Australian government:

Don’t copy and paste from the ‘About Us’ section of the employers’ websites. You’ll infect your resume with meaningless corporate fluff.

C. Spotlight Your Role.

Why were you hired? What commercial context existed around your role? Who were you reporting to?

This is another opportunity to set some strategic context, this time focusing on your role. Here are some ideas to guide you:

D. List Your Responsibilities.

Quite simply – were you hired?

Kick off each bullet point with an action verb like “provided”, “determined”, or “forged”. When describing a role you’re presently in, remember to use the present tense.

Here are a few examples of responsibilities to guide you:

Never kick off responsibility with “Was responsible for…” It sounds weak and vague.

E. Showcase Your Achievements.

This is the most important part of your resume.

You really must read my guide to writing achievements that land jobs , but for now, let me give you a few important pointers.

An eye-tracking study undertaken by usability research pioneer Dr Jakob Nielsen found that the dominant reading pattern online looks like the letter ‘F’:

This means you must kick off each bullet point with an action verb and the result, rather than the action you took.

For example, compare this:

See the difference? The secret to front-loading your achievements lies in this 3-step formula:

You can use it to convert this boring achievement:

Into this attention-grabbing one:

Here’s another example of an achievement pre-transformation:

Step 10: Fill Out Peripheral Sections.

These sections offer evidence of your suitability for the role and make your resume easy to navigate.

A. Employment Summary.

Think of it as a mini table of contents for your work history. Provide only job titles, dates and employer names, like this:

B. Additional Career History.

As mentioned earlier, roles that aren’t relevant enough to make the cut for the Professional Experience section should live in this dedicated section on the last page of the resume:

C. Education and Professional Development

Lump all of your education, training (including courses you’ve done internally at work) and certifications under this umbrella:

If you have awards, honours and publications, put them into the Achievements sections of individual roles, where they’re more likely to be seen.

Step 11: Finish Your Profile.

Now that you’re familiar with the details of your work history, let’s finish off that Profile .

Your Profile is the elevator pitch of your brand. It needs to be relatable, specific to you and commercial in nature.

But first, a few ground rules to make sure you don’t waste time and end up with a great resume:

• Write in the first person. (Unless you happen to be the Queen).
• Avoid buzzwords and cliches such as “ detail-oriented”, “results-driven”, “strategic thinker”, “team player”. ( List of buzzwords to avoid ).

A. Profile, Resume Summary Or Resume Objective?

This gets confusing, but it doesn’t have to be.

• Profile and Resume Summary are sometimes used interchangeably, especially in the American job market.

They usually refer to the same thing, but I suggest that you DON’T think of this section as a Resume Summary – because its purpose is not to summarise but to sell.

It’s a sales pitch.

Keep its purpose to a higher standard, and you’ll write a more compelling resume.

• A Resume Objective , sometimes called a Career Statement (or simply an Objective) , is a 3-4 sentence summary of your employment goals, values and strengths.

Back in the 1990s, it was fashionable for all resumes to sport a Resume Objective .

These days, it’s considered old-fashioned and only belongs on resumes of recent school leavers and graduates who don’t yet have much of a career history to showcase.

As a rule of thumb, if you have any work experience, go with a Profile . If not, go with an Objective .

Let’s break it down.

B. How To Write A Profile.

Start by making a list of your specialisation points, most impressive achievements and points of difference.

• Specialisations are your friend. The narrower, the better (e.g., you’re a business analyst known for your work in the Australian cryptocurrency space).
• Highlight quantifiable stretches of experience (e.g., you offer 15 years of success in leading and shaping teams).
• Pinpoint for career-defining, quantifiable achievements where you exceeded expectations, preferably in the last few years (e.g., you turned around the fortunes of a poorly performing business).
• Unique intersections are your friend. These act as points of difference to set you apart from similarly qualified candidates (e.g., you’re a marketer with a military background, which means you bring an unusual sense of rigour to the profession).

Shape this data into 2-3 paragraphs that contain your most significant professional selling points.

Here is an example of a profile that has the power to beat the resumes of all the other applicants:

And here are a few more lines you can use as inspiration for your own resume:

C. How To Write A Resume Objective.

Start by making a list of your strongest attributes. Think about your:

• Strengths (e.g., conscientiousness, attention to detail, perseverance)
• Relevant skills (e.g., research skills)
• Volunteering experience (e.g., work with NGOs, political parties)
• Education milestones (e.g., graduations)
• Awards and distinctions (e.g., GPA scores, scholarships)

Next, think about how you will be able to contribute to your target organisation.

Finally, shape this raw data into a short, punchy paragraph. Here are a couple of Resume Objective examples that you can use for inspiration:

Step 12: Run It Through An ATS Simulator.

An ATS, or an Applicant Tracking System , is an automated scanner designed to streamline the recruitment process.

This gatekeeper between you and your dream job works by filtering out resumes that don’t meet the criteria listed in the job description.

The good news is that ATS simulators allow you to pre-empt its results.

They scan your resume (often for free or for a minimal cost) and provide instant feedback on its ability to pass through the tracking systems:

Your goal is to aim for a score of 80% and above. Good simulators like JobScan will show you precisely what you need to change to improve your score.

Step 13: Proofread, Tweak, Re-Tweak.

Your own typos become invisible to you after a short while. Don’t trust your eyes to eliminate all errors from your resume.

• Use an AI language checker like Grammarly . Apart from picking up spelling mistakes that you’ve missed, it will provide pointers for improving the readability and engagement of your resume.
• Ask a couple of your friends to proofread it. They’ll pick up things that both you and Grammarly missed, but take their feedback with a pinch of salt. Everyone will have an opinion, but not everyone will have a good one.

Step 14: Save It Well.

I often see Australian resumes with filenames that have the power to derail one’s job search and turn off the hiring manager.

• CV  – not helpful for filing/finding
• Ann_Draft_CV / CV Draft  – Doesn’t suggest much effort in preparation
• John_Sales_Only_Resume  – Could suggest a second sector choice
• Alex_2006  – Looks like your resume hasn’t been updated since WWI (or thereabouts)

First impressions count. You’ve just spent an hour learning how to write a resume. Don’t jeopardise your chances with a minor detail like this.

Keep it simple, for example:

• Goodwin_James or Goodwin_James_[company/recruiter name]

5 Resume Mistakes That Australian Job Seekers Need To Stop Making.

An effective resume is more than a mish-mash of your previous roles and buzzwords.

• 1. Cliches and Bloat. In other words, your resume should never say that you’ve “ managed a team of 15 analysts at KPMG for 10 years ” and claim that you’re “ a highly motivated self-starter “.
• 2. Poor Attention To Detail. There’s no excuse for having a resume with typos, misspellings and grammatical errors.
• 3. Weak Targeting. One resume should target one role. Don’t try to sit on more than one chair with your one butt.
• 4. Poor Design. Your resume must look as good as it reads.
• 5. Weak Achievements. Most people confuse achievements with responsibilities. A responsibility describes what you did, and an achievement describes how well you did it.

Final Takeaway For A Perfect Australian Resume.

Writing an effective resume takes time – and many iterations.

As with most things in life, it’s possible to take shortcuts, but these tend to come back and haunt you – through lost job opportunities and rejection letters.

The passion you have for your work and your ability to deliver tangible value should shine through in every word of your resume.

My advice? Don’t try to wing it.

Once you’ve learned how to write a resume, you’ll be able to sell yourself to employers every time you need a new job.

Take my advice and beware of those painfully generic professional resume writers whose services abound these days.

If I were one of them, I might sum up this article with a tired old adage: “ you can write the perfect resume by telling, not selling.”

But since we’re all originals here, I’ll close with a Hopi proverb:

“Those who tell the stories rule the world.”

Australian Resume - Guide & Formatting Tips [Free Templates!]

Every country has its own work culture and that means specific requirements when it comes to resumes and CVs. 

And Australia is no different.

If you’re doing some Aussie job-searching (or planning to do so), you probably have a few questions:

What do “resume” and “CV” refer to in Australia? Are there any formatting rules you should be aware of? How long does the resume have to be? Should you include your photo? 

Well, you’re in the right place.

We’re here to answer those questions and more!

In this article, you’re going to find everything you need to know about Australian resumes and how to prepare one.

What Makes Australian Resumes Different

• Typical Australian Resume Sections

3 Free Australian Resume Templates

How to make a convincing resume - further readings.

Let’s get to it!

We recommend creating your Australian resume in parallel with reading this guide. Just pick a template that you like, and get started.

Not sure where to look for a job in Australia? SEEK and CareerOne are some of the most popular job boards in the country.

Although it might appear similar to the U.S. resume format at first glance, the Australian resume differs in some details that if missed, might very well ruin your chances of getting a call-back. 

Don’t worry though, we’re going to cover all of those details starting with the elephant in the room:

#1. Australian Resume vs CV

Unlike the U.S., in Australia, the terms “resume” and “CV” are used to refer to the same document . You will most likely come across “resume” more often, but if not, know that the terms are synonymous with each other. 

#2. How long should an Australian resume be?

In the U.S., a resume should typically be one page . 

An Australian resume, however, should definitely be more than one page. If you are a professional, three to four pages are what’s expected. If you are a recent graduate or don’t have much experience in the field, two pages will be enough . 

Don’t forget to be to-the-point, though. Even though you have the freedom to present yourself with a lengthy resume, you shouldn’t get into unnecessary details.

If you have a lot of years of experience, you shouldn’t go more than 10 years back in your resume. If there are any earlier work experiences that you particularly want to mention, you can add a “other professional experience” section and briefly mention it there. You can also end the section with “Full resume available upon request.”

#3. Are there any language expectations for Australian resumes?

As a matter of fact, there are. If you're applying for a job in Australia you need to make sure that your resume is written in correct Australian english. 

#4. Do you include a photo in an Australian resume?

Unless you’re applying for a job that is related to your appearance (modeling or acting), it’s best to not include a photo in your resume. If the company wants you to include one, they will usually specify it beforehand. 

There are some countries, like Belgium, France, and Germany, where you should include a photo in your resume . This rule, however, doesn’t apply to Australia.

#5. What personal information should you include in an Australian resume?

Just like your photo, personal information can make you vulnerable to profiling based on gender, race, age, or appearance. To avoid that, provide only the necessary contact information like name, address, phone number, and email address. 

It’s actually illegal for employers in Australia to ask you for information like age, marital status, religion, sexual preference, or nationality.

6 Typical Australian Resume Sections

Now that we’ve gone over what makes an Australian resume different, let’s focus on its layout and format. 

An Australian resume typically has the following sections:

Resume Objective/Summary

Although it isn’t mandatory, it is recommended for you to include a resume objective or summary.

A resume objective (or career objective) states your goals for employment and what you aim for in your career. It’s 1-2 sentences and is great for recent graduates or people who are changing careers. 

• Recent computer science graduate seeking a full-time position as a programmer. Strong knowledge of object-oriented programming and application development tools.

A resume summary (or career summary) highlights your professional experience and gives the employer a glimpse of your skills before reading about them further in your resume. It’s between 3-5 sentences and is great for job seekers with years of experience. 

• Driven programmer with 8+ years of experience developing and maintaining enterprise software applications. Helped design and develop 3 successful applications over the past 5 years.

Work Experience

Your work experience should be displayed in a reverse-chronological order . With each entry, you should provide the start and end date along with a brief description of your experience, your responsibilities, and your achievements. 

When possible, quantify your achievements and responsibilities. This shows the recruiter how you stand out from the rest of the applicants: 

Marketing Manager

Achievements/Tasks

• Launched social media campaigns for the company
• Managed a large team

07/2018 - Present

Achievements

• Developed and launched promotional campaigns that increased sales revenue by 12%
• Trained and managed over 15 marketing and sales specialists, making sure sales targets were always met. 

If there are any gaps in your employment history, you should account for them as well if possible. Chances are, your interviewer will ask you about it anyway. 

If you have work experience in a large company/institution in your country that an Australian recruiter might not be familiar with, you should provide some information on your employer as well. 

For example, if you have worked as a sales manager for one of the largest toy companies in your country, don’t be hesitant to provide that information. By simply stating the name of the company you risk downplaying your experience if the recruiter isn’t familiar with the company.  

Your education history should also be displayed in reverse-chronological order. Each entry should consist of the name of the institution, date attended, your major/minor/specialization, and any related honors or awards. 

BA in Economics

Bentley University

07/2017 - 05/2021

• Dean’s List 2019, 2020, 2021
• Member of the Investment Club

A simple list of skills and strengths will provide the employer with a quick snapshot of what you have to offer and what you excel at. In general, it’s best to focus on hard skills, but if you will be listing any soft skills like “leadership” or “critical thinking”, make sure you can back them up with experiences. 

Volunteer Experience

If you have any volunteer experience , it’s important to note it on your resume. Hiring managers appreciate it. 

Often, volunteer experience can count as work experience too. Especially if it matches with a period of time you were not employed and if it is related to your profession. In that case, you can even include it in the “work experience” section. 

The name, position, and phone number of your referee/s will be enough. Most recruiters contact references after the interview process anyway.

If you want to create a resume that stands out, you’ll need to use a good-looking template.

#1. College/University Resume Template

As a student or recent graduate, you want your resume to highlight your education and emphasize your skills. This is exactly what the College resume format does. 

It has a simple and organized format that is easy to skim and has a nice aesthetic.

Key Takeaways

The differences of an Australian resume may be subtle, but if you don’t pay attention to them, you probably aren’t getting any callbacks. 

To avoid that, when preparing your Australian resume remember:

• In Australia, “resume” and “CV” refer to the same document.
• You can and MUST go longer than one page. 3-5 pages is ideal, but 2 pages can be acceptable if you don't have a lot of experience.
• Your resume has to be written using correct Australian English so always double-check that your spelling is right
• It is highly recommended to include an attention grabbing-resume objective or summary that will make the recruiter intrigued to read further

And that’s a wrap! 

Good luck and wish you a successful job-search!

Writing a resume in Australia (CV) – Guide and template

Are you planning a trip Down Under, and want to find a job while you’re over here? The first step to working in Australia is creating a great CV – but did you know that Australian CVs are quite different to English or American ones? Navigating the Australian job market can be challenging, especially for those new to the country. This guide provides you with essential tips and templates to craft a resume that stands out in the Australian job market.

Table of Contents

Tailoring Your Resume for Different Job Types

As for all countries, a CV is an essential part of the job search in Australia. However, depending on the types of jobs you want to do in the country, your CV will be different. Do you see yourself working short-term on a farm, in a casual hospitality job, or in a long-term job in a city in your specific field? The steps for finding a job will vary depending on what you’re looking for. Now get creating the perfect CV to land you your dream job !

Do you need a resume for a farm job?

A resume is not always necessary to work in Australia . They won’t always ask you for one for farm jobs like fruit picking . If you are looking for a job on a farm, emailing a farmer your CV will often be a waste of time. It is better to go directly to the farms and speak with the owners or even call them and ask them if they are hiring. Independent farmers will usually not ask you for a CV in person but we still advise you to have one ready, for example if you have to apply online (this happens for some large companies).

CV for a long-term job

If you are looking for a long-term or stable job with a small or larger company, having a well-written CV that follows Australian criteria will be essential , especially for any job that requires experience or qualifications. Highlight specific professional skills, career progression, and significant achievements.

CV for a casual job

If you are looking for a more casual or temporary job in a supermarket or in catering, your CV will mainly serve to prove that you have a basic knowledge of English . It is also an excellent way to meet managers directly by handing in your CV. Focus on flexibility, customer service skills, and quick learning ability.

Note: If you are on a Working Holiday Visa, you can only work a maximum of 6 months for the same employer. However, you can do all types of jobs (qualified, unskilled, etc.).

Certificates and trainings required to work in Australia

To work in certain industries in Australia, you will need to complete vocational training and obtain a certificate.

The most well-known certificates are:

• the RSA (Responsible Service of Alcohol): mandatory to work in an establishment where alcohol is served.
• the White Card : mandatory for all building trades, such as construction
• the RSG/RCG : mandatory to work in gambling establishments, such as casinos and game rooms.
• Barista : If you want to work in a coffee shop like Starbucks, MacCoffees or Gloria Jeans Coffee, you will need this training.

Showing on your CV that you have the certificates required will be a real asset when job hunting. Indeed, it proves that you have the skills and understanding of the industry.

Save money on your RSA in Australia

Pay less for your RSA course (Responsible Service of Alcohol). With this certificate, you will be allowed to work in all places where alcohol is served or sold.

Understanding Australian Resume Standards

First of all, you should know that an resume in Australia is often longer and more detailed than you might be used to. Resumes in Western Europe are usually kept to two pages, whereas an Australian resume can easily go up to five or even seven pages for a specialised job. So don’t hesitate to be specific about your experience and personal qualities.

You will also need to adapt your CV to the position you are applying for! This may seem logical, but consider presenting your experience differently depending on the job you are applying for. Some tasks, responsibilities or skills will be more relevant than others.

Of course, there are exceptions to this rule! To work in the hospitality industry as a waiter or dishwasher, for example, it is advisable to opt for a shorter CV comprising 1 or 2 pages to make it easier to read quickly. (This does not apply if you are aiming for, for example, a management position in a large hotel!) Also remember to indicate the Australian certificates that are necessary mandatory for the job, such as your RSA.

Resume in Australia: Photo or no photo?

It is not generally recommended to include a photo on your Australian CV. Focus on your skills instead! You should also avoid including your age or date of birth as there are age discrimination laws in Australia.

However, you should add a section for references , where you can include the names and contacts of previous employers who would be happy to recommend you to a new employer. Choose people who speak English and with whom you have had a good relationship. We’ll go into more detail about this below.

Key Sections of an Australian Resume

Here are the different sections that must appear on your Australian resume. The order of the sections is up to you . For instance, if you have little professional experience but have completed a course or degree related to the job you’re applying for, put the “Education” section before “Work Experience”. If you are looking for a job in catering, making the “Skills” section (including your RSA) appear before your work experience could be a good idea. As a general rule, start with your most recent experience.

1 – Personal Details

Make sure to include your:

• Local Australian address*
• Australian phone number
• Professional email address

* The majority of employers prefer to hire workers already in Australia. So put down a local address, even if it is a backpackers hostel!

Reminder: Avoid adding personal details like age or marital status. This information is considered personal and should not appear on your CV to avoid discrimination.

 2 –  Introduction: Quick presentation of yourself and what you are looking for

Describe your professional motivation in two or three sentences. What you are looking for in a job, and why your qualities make you the right person for this specific job . Remember to specify your availability (eg. Available from January 7th 2024). This is a very short, but very important part of your resume – it’s like a mini cover letter. The idea is that your potential employer will glance at it and makes a decision on whether he or she is interested in reading the rest of your resume in a split-second.

This part can be short if you are looking for a temporary or holiday job. For example to find a job in service, you can write “I am a UK traveler on a Working Holiday Visa and I am looking for a position as a waitress in Brisbane. I have my RSA certificate and I am available to start asap.” You can also decide to say more about yourself if you wish or to highlight your skills more.

3 – Work Experience: “Employment history”

Provide a detailed description of the jobs you have done in the past. This includes your tasks and the responsibilities you had within the company . Highlight what you contributed to the company of your previous employers (e.g. if you worked at a bar and set up a Facebook page for them). Employers like to see that you show initiative.

As a traveller, we often want to get away from the work we did at home and try something new. If this applies to you, emphasise what you did in the past that could be an asset for this new job . For instance, if you are applying for a receptionist position, specify that you have experience hosting clients at another company.

Specify the name of the business and its industry , the start and end dates of your contract , your previous job titles , and the city and country where you worked.

Put your previous work experience in reverse chronological order , with your most recent job on the top. If you have had many different jobs in the past, only include those related to the job which you are applying for.

4 – Training and education: “Education and training”

This section should include both your degree and any professional training you have obtained such as internships, apprenticeships. For each point specify the name of the educational course, dates, school/ institution, city and country of graduation .

The Australian school system may differ from your home countries. In principle, it is built up as follows:

• High school degree;
• Bachelor’s degree;
• Advanced diploma ou Higher national certificate;
• Master’s degree;
• PhD (Doctorate).

5 – “Skills and strengths”

This section of your Australian resume is reserved for your technical and personal skills . They should always relate to the job you are applying for. Examples:

• For a job in graphic design , specify your computer skills in a ‘computer skills’ sub-section and your soft skills in a ‘personal qualities’ section (e.g. your creativity and adaptability);
• To work in hospitality , emphasise your ability to work as part of a team, your organisational and interpersonal skills.

Specify the different languages you speak and your level of competency (e.g. native, intermediate, beginner). You can also add other diplomas and certificates here, such as the RSA , White Card , and Driver’s license.

This section is very important when looking for a job in Australia. If you are not a native English speaker, any potential employer will want to know whether your English is good enough for the job you’re applying for. Also, considering that for many jobs you are required to drive, it is important to mention whether you have a driver’s license or not.

6 – Hobbies: “Hobbies and interests”

Do not neglect this part of your CV, but do not list all your hobbies either! In fact, your activities, passions and commitments will allow your future employer to better understand you. Highlight the activities you do outside the professional sphere. Whether practising yoga, being a soccer captain or even participating in community activities, these elements reflect your personality and your qualities.

7 – References: “Referees”

Here you include the names of people you worked with in the past and their contact details . Make sure to check with them that they agree to be listed as a contact before adding them to this list. Your future employer will probably contact them to find out more about you and the way you work, so you want to only add people that will have something positive to say. If you are not comfortable giving this information at first, just add their names and state ‘Contact details available on request’ . This will also give you the opportunity to inform your contacts that they may get a call!

Tips & tricks for a great Australian Resume

Put australian contact details.

Once your resume is in an Australian format, you should update your phone number and address as soon as possible.

Australian employers are much more likely hire candidates who are already in Australia.  Those who have an Australian address and phone number will have a head start.

If you do not have an address in Australia, as many travellers do not, you can add the address of your hostel or a local post office. You will always be contacted by phone or mail, so it does not make a difference.

Add a title to your Resume

The CV title will allow the employer to quickly identify which position you are applying for. Write the position offered in the title of your resume. For example: – Barista Position – Waiter Position – Manager Position – Farm Hand.

Tailor your resume to the job

In fact, depending on the job for which you are applying, your experiences, degrees, passions, etc. must be revised to be in line with the job. Your CV must be targeted !

For example, if you are looking for a job in construction but do not have the experience, highlight your DIY skills, your personal DIY-related experiences. If you are looking for a sales job and have never had one before, highlight your past customer relationships as a waitress or in admin.

Digital Literacy

In today’s job market, being tech-savvy is a must. Include your proficiency in software like Microsoft Office, digital marketing tools, or any industry-specific software.

Visual Appeal and Readability

As for the layout and the visual aspect of your CV, a word of advice: go for the simplest option . Avoid overly extravagant colours and layouts. The content is much more important than the format. Australians prefer a clean and clear CV.

There are many free tools online to help you create your Australian resume. Many platforms offer simple and beautiful CV templates. You can fill them out free online then download them. CVDesignR and Canva are good options.

Remember that substance is much more important than form, and Australians prefer a sober and effective CV.

Print your resume

Make sure to print quite a few resumes (20-30) to hand in to places in person . You will probably want to modify your CV as time goes on, so it does not make sense to print many more. In most cities, you will find a store called  Office Works . They offer attractive rates for printing (from $0.08 per copy). Otherwise, you have the option to go to your local library . The problem with this is that sometimes it is necessary to buy a card to recharge with a minimum amount in dollars, so you end up paying more.

Do not print too many copies at once. You may not distribute them all, or you may want or need to make some changes to it over time to bring it up to date.

If you want to print a few copies, between 1 and 3, ask to have your prints done at your youth hostel, at a travel agency for backpackers or at a shop that does photo development. It will cost you less.

Hand out your resume personally

Try to walk around and hand out your CV directly to employers if you are searching for work in restaurants, bars, shops etc. Do not hesitate to ask to speak to the manager – this will allow you to meet your potential future employer and make more of an impression. First impressions are important. Wear clean and professional clothes. Avoid applying in a restaurant dressed in shorts, flip-flops etc. Sometimes handing your CV to a manager can turn into a job interview on the spot , so be prepared.

Your resume is your ticket to the Australian job market. Use this guide to showcase your skills and experiences effectively. Remember, a well-crafted resume opens doors to exciting career opportunities in Australia.

Importance of a good cv.

Your resume must also get past any  initial screening algorithms , or applicant tracking systems (ATS), which identify suitable candidates based on the use of relevant keywords.

Think of your CV as your own living, breathing personal pitch – a pitch that succinctly answers all the questions a recruiter or hiring manager has about you. The degree to which you present the reader with the information they require to make an informed decision can determine whether you are invited to interview.

This includes why you are applying for this job, with this organisation and in this industry, what value you can bring to the organisation and whether you have what is required to be successful in the role.To leave the reader with no doubt about your suitability, you must present a strong CV that clearly conveys this information.

How often should I update my CV? 

Even if you aren’t actively looking for a new role, it’s important to get into the habit of  regularly updating your CV . If you keep your resume up-to-date, when you do come to the point when you want to find a new position, there’s no risk that you’ll forget key points. Regularly updating your resume can also make you more aware of any skills or experience gaps that you need to fill to take the next step in your career.

Cv versus resume – what’s the difference  .

Today, a lot of employers and job candidates use the terms ‘CV’ and ‘resume’ interchangeably. Indeed, you may see just as many references to ‘resume templates’ as you do ‘CV templates’.

Traditionally, a CV referred to a comprehensive (up to six pages) account of your entire professional life, while a resume was a summary (up to two pages) of your education, skills and work experience. However, in more modern times, the need for a lengthy overview of your career history has become redundant, with a hiring company instead expecting a two-page summary.

At the same time, people began to use the two terms reciprocally. Now, whether you call your career overview a ‘CV’ or ‘resume’, it has no bearing on your chance of reaching an interview shortlist. 

How to write a resume | 2nd content block | UB

The purpose of a resume.

Your resume serves to introduce the relevancy of your skills, experience, qualifications and achievements to a recruiter and potential employer. A recruiter or employer may not spend longer than a few minutes reviewing your resume, so it should succinctly convey your most relevant achievements. If the reader thinks you are a suitable candidate for the role, your resume will have achieved its purpose – an offer to attend an interview. 

you must be able to demonstrate your skills, experience, and future potential.

If you can do that well in one page, that’s great. However, the average length of a resume is usually around two pages. 

How to write a resume | 3rd content block | UB

How long should my resume be.

Your resume should be approximately two pages long. If it is substantially longer, eliminate information that isn’t relevant to the role or industry.

For instance, look back at the key skills and attributes required for the job in question and then review your resume – are you using valuable space to describe skills, attributes and responsibilities from roles that don’t match up to the job in question?

If so, remove this content or, at the least, simplify your language. On your resume, you must get to the point, so don’t use ten words to say something you could say in five.  

On the other hand, one page may suffice in certain circumstances. The main thing to keep in mind when you’re writing your resume is that you must be able to demonstrate your skills, experience, and future potential.

How to write a resume | 4th content block | UB

What not to include in a resume.

Use your common sense when writing your resume. If you have been employed for many years and your career has evolved over time, knowing how to write a resume well means you will not include every role you’ve ever held, such as the casual retail position you had in high school or the captaincy of your social sporting team. Rather, use the limited space on your resume strategically by ensuring every line shows how you are relevant to the particular job you’re applying for. 

Similarly, if you have an advanced degree, few people are going to be concerned about the exams you took when you were 16 years old. Instead, only include training that is relevant to the position you are applying for.

Unless otherwise stated, you don’t need to attach copies of certificates, qualifications or references. You should instead bring these to a job interview.

We also advise candidates to avoid listing their hobbies or interests. Focus instead on the experience and skills that make you suitable for the job you’re applying for. The exceptions occur when you have limited relevant experience or if the employer specifically asks applicants to list hobbies. In these cases, keep it brief. Avoid anything that could be contentious, such as political affiliations, and instead show how your personality is suited to that of the organisation. For example, consider listing a hobby that requires expertise relevant to the role, such as organisational or communication skills. 

You also do not need to design a creative resume, unless you work in a creative field. Some candidates attempt to produce a more creative resume to stand out, however it really is the relevancy of your skills and experience that will ensure you make a shortlist, not how you present your resume.

Can AI write the perfect resume?

How to write a resume | 5th content block | ub, step by step guide to writing a great resume.

Follow the below standard resume structure when looking to write your resume. Don’t forget to ensure you use clean and clear formatting. 

1. Contact information

Start with the basics such as your name, phone number, email address (make sure the email address you use sounds professional) and  LinkedIn profile . Use the phone number and email address that you use most often. You don’t want to disappoint an employer by failing to respond to their invitation to an interview in a timely fashion.

2. Professional summary 

In 50 to 150 words, describe your applicable experience and skills. This summary should prove your value and help to differentiate you. Avoid describing what you’d like from your next job and instead focus on what you can offer. This is the place for your  USP , or unique selling proposition. Tailor this section to each position that you’re applying to.

Use keywords from the job description so that an ATS can find a match.

3. Skills summary 

The reader of your resume may not have more than a minute to spend scanning each application, particularly if the volume of applications is very high, so including a skills section can capture their attention by making it immediately clear what you can offer. Compile a brief bulleted list of the systems,  skills and competencies  that are most relevant to the job you are applying for. Use keywords from the job description here too.

For instance, if the ad specifies someone who has ‘effective administrative abilities and excellent interpersonal skills’, these should be addressed here with brief evidence as to where you gained those skills. Make sure to tailor your expertise to the individual position you are applying for, always.

4. Achievements

A future employer will be interested in where you went above and beyond the job that you were paid to do and achieved something great. So, next list your key career achievements, supported by facts, statistics or links. For example, if you over-achieved on your sales targets, you need to say by what percentage and over what period.

Keep in mind, this is a summary to grab interest by demonstrating you can successfully add value to an organisation in the type of job you’re applying for, so proof is essential.

5. Work experience 

Your work history should be the most detailed section of your resume, with positions listed in reverse order, beginning with the most recent. Include employer names, positions and primary responsibilities.

If your job title is unconventional, it is perfectly acceptable to replace it with a recognisable equivalent.

It is important to quantify your accomplishments – the reader wants to see facts not fluff. Focus on the value you added in each role, rather than simply listing what your duties were. This section shouldn’t read like a job description. Rather, it should tell the story of your unique strengths and accomplishments. Think of your biggest achievements for each role and provide concrete, quantifiable evidence of each. One way to help you do this is to use action verbs such as “managed” or “oversaw”. Such verbs force you to focus on what you achieved and your results in each role, which proves the value of your experience.

Avoid overused clichés in you CV  that can waste valuable space. Instead, include examples of your work to demonstrate your strengths. Remember that proof is in your results.

We also advise you not to leave gaps in your work history. If you took a year out, carried out an interim assignment, or travelled for six months, say so. Just make sure you illustrate whatever the experience was in a positive way, focusing on the fact that it gave you some great experience and knowledge.

Stating just the years you started or finished a role can also send off alarm bells. Writing "2019 - 2021" could be interpreted as employment from December 2019 to January 2021 unless you say otherwise. 

6. Education & qualifications 

Keep it concise by listing the academic qualification obtained, year of completion, the institution’s name and a one-sentence summary.

7. References 

The details of references are rarely included on resumes. It’s common for candidates to simply write, “References are available upon request” in this section of your resume. Your recruiter will then reach out for the details of your referees at the appropriate point in the recruitment process. 

Remember though, the referees recruiters and employers value the most are those people you reported to directly who can speak about how you used your skills and experience to add value to their organisation. If you are unsure who to provide as a referee, our  guide to references  may help.

Final tips to remember when writing your resume.

By the time the recruiter or hiring manager reaches the end of your resume, they will have more than likely made their decision about whether to add your resume to the interview pile or not. Here are three final tips to help your resume reach the shortlist: Firstly, tailor your resume for each application. To make the interview shortlist, your resume must demonstrate that you possess most or all the criteria required in the job. Tailor your application for each position you apply for by expanding on your experience relevant to the job and cutting back the less relevant parts. You should also show that you are genuinely interested in this job. Failing to tailor your CV by submitting a blanket application will not impress. So, weave into your professional summary the reasons that make you a good fit for this particular position and what specifically resonates with you about the organisation or role. Secondly, make sure you add quantifiable results. As mentioned above, providing evidence to support the claims you make on your CV brings it to life and establishes for the reader the value you could bring. However, not every role allows for the sort of measurement by which you can prove your expertise. If you find yourself unsure how to add quantitative evidence this blog provides some tips. Adding links to your LinkedIn profile and online portfolios of work can also help the reader build a better picture of your competencies.

How to Write an Australian Resume in 2022

In 2022, Australian employers prefer that applicants prepare their resumes using a simple format that’s both logical and easy to read. 

Using resume templates can be an easy way to write your resume, but they hardly impress employers these days. 

Thus, taking the extra effort to write a winning resume with the ‘wow’ factor will help you stand out to potential employers in 2022. This is especially true at a time when massive lay-offs are prevalent due to the COVID-19 pandemic. 

Securing a job interview isn’t as easy as it sounds. There’s a huge chance that your resume is preventing you from having a shot at numerous job opportunities. 

In this article, we’ll lay down the current trends in Australian resume writing in 2022 to help you increase your chances of being shortlisted for possible roles. 

Be specific

Your ‘wow’ factor must convey what you’ve achieved, not what you were responsible for. Include numbers, metrics, figures and quantifiable data as much as possible. 

It needs to show action. You can do this by replacing passive language such as ‘Responsible for’ and ‘Duties included’ with action verbs. For example: ‘increased,’ ‘grew,’ ‘enhanced.’ 

Here’s an example of a vague statement: Accountable for promoting company products and services to meet sales targets.

Here’s an example of a specific statement: Surpassed individual sales targets by 110%, personally contributing to a 20% sales growth through high-impact product demonstrations.

Include a strong resume tagline

A resume headline or tagline is a short phrase at the top of your resume immediately following your name and contact details. 

Keep it short. It should be one brief phrase and shouldn’t be a complete sentence. Anything that’s longer than a phrase defeats the purpose of a headline. 

Use keywords to demonstrate your skills, experience or positive professional attributes related to the job application. Using keywords directly from the job ad shows that you are a good fit for the position. Also, mention the job title in your headline, if possible. 

Customise your resume headline for each job. It’s a little extra work but this will make you a strong candidate. 

Sample resume headlines: 

Aspiring Social Worker With 100+ Hours of Clinical Placement + Practical Experience in a Hospital Setting

Safety-Conscious Project Manager With 10+ Years’ Experience Overseeing Large Civil Projects up to $10M

National Sales Manager With 20+ Years’ Successful Career, Generating $10M+ Yearly Revenue

Make your resume ATS-friendly

Creating a resume that’s scannable by the ATS (resume scanning software) is still applicable in 2022. 

Make sure your resume has keywords relevant to the job you’re applying for. 

If there’s not much info available, review similar job vacancies on major job sites such as Indeed or Seek . 

Mention the most important keywords more than once, but avoid going overboard. There’s no penalty for repetition and the ATS usually tally points for each mention of the skill. 

Start strong with a professional profile

Also known as a personal statement , the professional profile should replace your objective section this 2022. 

Your opening statement should talk about what you can offer a potential employer; not about your needs and wants for yourself in a new role. 

Personal statements are usually 3-6 sentences in length that talk about your years of relevant experience, types of roles you’re after and your signature skills. 

Personal statements also set the tone for the rest of your resume. Employers don’t want to see resumes without any direction. You don’t want potential employers to have to try to guess which skills will benefit them. If they have to spend too much time trying to make sense of your opening statement, you risk being passed over for a candidate who provided a clearer personal statement. 

Example of a compelling personal statement: 

A CPA-qualified Management Accountant who offers advanced data analysis and research skills, coupled with sound financial acumen. Track record includes championing new systems and processes to streamline reporting and forecasting functions, ultimately maximising cash flow by circa $1.5M. Seeking to transition strong business sense and a genuine passion for sustainability to the clean/renewable energy sector. 

Show emotional intelligence and other soft skills

Emotional intelligence (or EQ) is important in the workplace as it helps create positive social interactions. 

Those with higher EQ tend to possess other soft skills, such as interpersonal abilities, teamwork, flexibility and leadership traits. 

Anyone can claim to have high EQ but it’s one of those qualities that’s shown in actions over words. 

To showcase your emotional intelligence on your resume, describe actions that demonstrate you have a high level of EQ. This can be anything from leading a team to juggling various deadlines or adapting to last-minute changes. Incorporate these on your resume’s bullet points under your ‘professional experience’ section.

Final thought

The short amount of time potential employers take to review your resume is also the time your future career gets decided. 

These resume tips for 2022 can assist you to keep your ground in the competitive Australian job market. Updating your resume can cost you a lot of time (or resources to some extent). But you’ll soon find that it’s well worth the extra effort as it means getting you next to a paycheque and landing your career goals, in spite of the challenges the pandemic brings.

STEP 1. CV Assessment and Strategy Development

STEP 2. One-To-One In-Depth Consultation Call

STEP 3. Crafting Your Bespoke, Professionally Written Resume

STEP 4. Follow-Up Consultation Call & Document Revisions

At CV People, we take a meticulous approach to crafting a compelling and targeted resume that aligns perfectly with your career goals. Our process begins with a thorough review of your existing resume, examining its strengths and identifying areas for improvement. Our key differentiator lies in our commitment to understanding your specific ambitions and the positions you are targeting. To achieve this, your assigned resume writer delves deep into the requirements of the roles you aspire to, ensuring they gain an acute understanding of the skills, experience, and achievements that matter most to prospective employers. They meticulously study job descriptions and relevant industry trends to ensure that your new resume is strategically tailored for success. Based on this in-depth analysis, they compile a report that outlines the essential elements your resume should showcase. This report serves as a roadmap for crafting an interview-winning resume that highlights your attributes in the most impactful way possible.

Once your target roles have been assessed, it's time for a personalised strategy consultation - a pivotal step in our process. During this one-on-one session, your resume writer connects with you directly (via phone or Zoom) to gain deeper insights into your career aspirations and unique strengths, including your key skills, experiences, and achievements. Our strategy consultation calls typically last around an hour (depending on how much information is required). They will walk you through their findings from Step 1, highlighting the requirements of your targeted positions and how your own experience aligns. This discussion not only provides you with a clear understanding of what the recruiters are seeking, but also helps you articulate your value proposition confidently during job interviews.

With a clear understanding of your targeted positions and a wealth of valuable insights gained from the strategy consultation call, your resume writer begins the process of creating your new resume from scratch. Drawing on their extensive industry knowledge and expertise, they dedicate an average of 8 hours to meticulously draft, target, design, and ATS optimise your resume. Our mission is to produce a document that not only meets the high standards of the 2024 job market but surpasses them. During this stage, your resume writer works tirelessly to ensure your resume ticks every box. They strategically incorporate the relevant skills, experiences, and achievements identified during the targeted position research in Step 1. By focusing on what matters most to employers, they position you as the ideal candidate, setting you apart from the competition.

At CV People, our commitment to your success doesn't end with the delivery of your new resume. We understand that collaboration and continuous improvement are essential elements in crafting a truly outstanding application document. That's why we offer a follow-up consultation call and unlimited document revisions to ensure your complete satisfaction. During the follow-up consultation call, your writer will discuss the newly crafted resume with you in detail. Their goal is to understand your perspective and any specific areas you feel could be improved or tailored further. We always value your feedback and believe that incorporating your insights is crucial to creating a resume that truly represents you as an individual. As part of our 100% satisfaction guarantee, we don't impose any limits on revisions. We are committed to working on the resume until you are completely happy with the final result. Your assigned resume writer will address your feedback and make necessary adjustments, ensuring every aspect of the resume aligns perfectly with your vision and career goals.

This is typically scheduled for the next business day following placement of your order. Express 1 & 2 business day turnarounds are also available.

Once complete, our management team will review this information and assign your resume writer, who will contact you to arrange a consultation call at a time that suits you. This is all done within 1 business day.
• Who will be working on my resume? How do we communicate? We've cherry-picked the industry's top talent since 2011, recruiting an elite team of senior HR managers, veteran specialist recruiters and Australia's leading career coaches with over 400 years of combined industry experience. Our in-house recruitment and training program ensures our entire team possess an unmatched expertise in over 65 industries and are more than qualified to craft you a world-class resume, regardless of your industry and profession. The first stage of our process is to conduct a strategy consultation call with you. This can be completed over the phone or via Zoom and typically lasts around an hour. Throughout the entire process you can communicate via phone, Zoom or online chat within your account. All of our resume writers are Australian based and work Monday - Friday.
• What is an Applicant Tracking System (ATS) and how do they work? An applicant tracking system is a piece of software that 98% of job boards and individual companies now use to filter out unsuitable applications, saving the recruiter time reviewing unsuitable applications. The ATS is setup by the recruiter when they post their job advert on a job board (Seek, Indeed, etc.) or their own website. The recruiter submits the key requirements for the job, such as specific skills, education, experience, qualifications, etc. The ATS then uses resume parsing software to 'read' your resume and makes a decision as to whether you qualify to have your resume shown to the recruiter - or not. A frightening statistic is that 3/4 resumes are never actually seen by the recruiter and are automatically rejected by ATS software. The average ATS score against targeted positions is an astonishing low 34%, with only 1/17 resumes scoring above 90% for the candidates targeted positions (usually written by a professional resume writing service). If you're making applications that you are qualified for and receiving templated rejection emails or no feedback at all, your resume is likely being rejected by the ATS and not the hiring manager or recruiter. We guarantee to get your resume past the ATS for targeted positions.
• Can I request revisions? How long will they take? Yes! Unlike budget services we don't limit your revisions. We strive to create the perfect resume for every client, and we don't stop working until that's exactly what you have. Your resume writer will deliver requested revisions by 5pm, the following business day, providing they have had the opportunity to clarify any extra information they require with you.
• How does the CV People® 60 day interview guarantee work? Your success is our top priority, and we back it with our guarantee! Our professional resume writing service yields a 98% interview success rate within 60 days, rising to 100% within 90 days. However, in the unlikely event that you don't experience more interviews within 60 days of using your new resume, we'll rewrite and retarget your documents completely free of charge. We're the only resume writing service to offer such guarantees. This allows you to engage our service completely risk free.
• What's the difference between CV People's premium service and a budget resume service? When engaging a professional resume service there's typically two types of company you'll come across: Budget Resume Mills Price Point: A$100 - A$500 CV Writers: Usually overseas freelance copywriters Volume: Hundreds of generic resumes per week Project Time: 1 - 2 hours Process: Re-write or edit the existing resume. Work from templates. No direct communication with writer or via email. Usually 1 round of revisions Bespoke, Premier Resume Writers - (CV People) Price Point: A$800 - A$1,200 CV Writers: Directly employed master resume writers & application experts. 100% Aussie based. Minimum 10 years experience Volume: Work with a maximum of 4 clients per week Project Time: 10 - 12 hours Process: Study of target positions. Critique of existing resume and report compiled. In-depth Strategy consultation call. Resume written & design from scratch using only relevant skills, experience and achievements. Resume designed & formatted around the written content. Follow up consultations. Unlimited revisions If you are looking for a fast, budget service, a resume mill may be an option for you. However, the likelihood is you're probably best saving your money and writing it yourself using the free advice contained in our blog. These operators typically outsource to non-native English speaking countries where labour is cheap and quality is poor. They don't include consultation calls, and limit revisions, producing templated, rushed resumes, often littered with mistakes and not an accurate reflection of their clients skills, experience and achievements. With competition for jobs at an all time high, a bespoke, professionally written, ATS optimised resume is the only way to guarantee more interviews. This is the level of service you can expect when engaging CV People®.
• Do I require a resume or an academic CV? Our Bespoke and Executive resume writing service fits the vast majority of clients. An academic CV usually spans 5 pages or more. They are generally used by academics, including doctors, lawyers, engineers, lecturers, etc. Sections would usually include publications, awards, research and teaching in addition to those found on a resume. As a rule of thumb, if you don't work in these professions and don't currently have these sections on your resume/CV, you don't require an academic CV and working with our Bespoke or Executive resume writing team would be more beneficial than working with our Academic team.
