Professional Resume Writing Service

Pro-Active Human Resource Management offers a professional resume and cv writing service for all job classifications.

Our quality personalised internet resume / curriculum vitae writing service has been provided to international and Australian clients for over 7 years.

Have you been absolutely devastated when you didn't get an interview for a job that seemed tailor made for you?

Unfortunately in a highly competitive global environment employers are dealing with hundreds of job applications from people who may be just as qualified as you are. 

Nevertheless, you thought you would have at least received a job interview. Later you hear that the job was filled by someone with only half your knowledge and experience. Demoralising isn't it?

Don't take it personally.   It is possible that your job application didn't rate more than a glance. It is probably just the result of using an ineffective resume.

If you are not getting job interviews it is advisable to re-evaluate your resume and  have a new one  prepared by a Professional Resume Writer and Career Change Consultant with proven industry experience, because they know exactly what information employers want to see.

How much will you invest to achieve a job worth between  $40,000-$160,000? Have a look at our pricing structure and tell me another investment that could bring you this return on your money?

So what does an effective professional resume look like?The answer is simple.

Your resume will be custom designed and unique to you. It will showcase your employment history and skills and achievements based on in-depth research of the current job market in your area of expertise to give you a competitive edge.

A resume that reaches the short list will have:-

A dynamic and well formatted front page where all the relevant information and keywords needed to make it to the short list will be highly visible.

Dynamic front page design that is easy to read by conforming to reading principles. Employers love this design and it has proven highly successful for previous clients. 

The front page of your resume needs to be crafted in a way that provides a clear one page snapshot that sells your employment potential and is targeted to your career goals.  It can make the difference between getting an interview or not getting an interview.

A front page that is not backed up, or substantiated with knowledge and/or experience in the employment history section will be noticed by an experienced recruiter or employer.

Reading principles: Now you may have heard this a hundred times.  Many employers only skim the first and last page of your resume. Some look at the career profile while trained speed readers skim down the middle. In theory, the eye takes in the top left hand corner and skims down to the bottom right of the page.  (Unless they are reading Sanskrit)                              

The trouble is we don't know what method recruiter firms will use to screen

resumes and put them on the short list file.  Some Recruitment Consultants

say they read all of the resume, even down to hobbies and interests.      

You have to look at the worst case scenario. You probably have less than

a minute to make an impression.   

• Does your resume have a dynamic front page that tells the employer all he/she needs to know to put you on the short list?

• Does it shout "hire me?" 

If not, don't waste any more time applying for jobs with a resume that is not working for you.  In the end it is costing you lost income for a longer period of time.

You can't take a chance on having your resume overlooked. Your resume is a very powerful marketing tool and we treat is as such.

      When you have your resume compiled by us you get:-

• A professional personalised resume that is uniquely yours, highlighting your key strengths, knowledge, experience, outcomes/achievements or competencies.

• Targeted to your career goals. We will do some research to ensure your skills match employers needs. Conditions apply

• Contains key words so that when your resume is scanned by employers/agencies, you will  be appropriately matched against jobs.
• A dynamic front page that will sell your employment potential and put you on the short list: If you don't get the interview you wont get the job.
• A resume sent by MS Word, or any other word processing software,        e-mailed for immediate use.

• An option of having a second resume done in ASCII (plain text) to paste into a resume bank or internet recruitment board. Extra cost involved in some packages.

• An online service to save you time by communicating with us from the comfort of your home or office.

• A personal consultation over the phone if needed, at a mutually agreed time -evenings or weekends by arrangement.

• You get a resume written by an experienced resume writer who has over 20 years experience in recruitment and career support and training, and holds a post graduate qualification in Human Resource Management, with 7 years experience in operating this resume service. Overall your resume writer  has 15 years resume writing experience and keeps up to date with industry trends. You cannot put a value on this knowledge and experience - it is what makes our service unique.

What you don't get. A resume with "fancy fonts" and text boxes. These cannot be read by scanners (see  How to Submit Your Resume Online).  Unless your occupation is in Graphic Design or the Arts they are unprofessional and take the reader's attention away from the important information, and often wastes valuable first page space. "Fancy resumes" must be posted in hard copy and not through any of the job boards.

Consider a quality professional and personalised resume or cv that reflects the latest resume techniques, such as outcome based statements as an investment in your future that can increase your earning potential and maximise your chance of getting the job of your choice. It makes sound economic sense to engage a Professional Resume Writing Consultant.

Can you now appreciate that a professional resume or curriculum vitae, just can't be run off in a couple of hours? 

Professional resume writing requires a strategic plan.

Each person is unique and their experiences and goals will differ. Your resume writer will ensure all your targeted employment skills and qualities are utilised in your professional document.

When considering having your investment in a professionally written resume, consider the qualifications of the Resume Consultant and the processes that take place to get a powerful message across.

Our Clients Have Succeeded In Achieving Their Career Goals

And So Will You

We don't just work with the movers and shakers

As a human resource consultancy we recognise that less than 20% of the population will fit into the high achievement category. Most Job Search Information is aimed at the "High Flyers".

Each person is unique and has different skill levels and qualities.

Many people are solid workers and will have valuable hands on skills that may need to be highlighted as competencies in your resume rather than quantifying in terms of  outcomes in "dollar value" results.  People with technical skills may need a different resume format than a marketing person, for example.

We will showcase your skills and abilities in a way that sits comfortably with you, and still use subtle marketing and advertising techniques within your resume. However, you will not pay for a resume that is not within your skill level  See Services and Pricing.  Prices are based on the level of skill and will have different formatting. See Examples and Value of Your Investment

While your resume consultant will assist you with the finer points of career planning you must be able to identify the types of jobs you want to apply for and you must be able to convey this information to your resume writer.  We suggest booking a career planning session, See Services, 2 weeks before your resume booking date. This is generally the waiting time in any case.

Meanwhile put out  "Google Alert" and receive jobs/news in several possible areas to see what skills are required.  Go onto job boards such as Careerone and Seek (both in Australia) and search jobs you could possibly apply for.  Remember you may be able to do the job, but you are competing with others.

Note: Google alerts must be specific and you will refine this as you go. You should get the alerts once a day so you can see what is coming up and adjust accordingly.
