How do I get my information to you?

Our informatiocounselling process leverages the convenience and efficiency of email in combination with our Resume Data Profiler Form (which identifies pertinent experience in relation to your career target, experience, education and other important information), followed by our in-depth evaluation and questioning process where we evaluate, pinpoint crucial components, and further question you regarding the information provided in your profiler.

[Note: Our company does not follow a template-style method. Each project is unique, with the layout, formatting and content specific to your situation. We aim to get to know as much about you, your expertise, achievements and overall visions, so that when we develop your resume, we can depict as much of your character and expertise as possible].

In times gone by we utilised a face-to-face service however concluded that the use of the profiler coupled with our comprehensive evaluation/questioning process elicits far greater information (in comparison to a face-to-face meeting) thus enhancing your candidacy. The reasons for this are:

 æ   we are able to carefully scrutinise the information you have provided and subsequently prepare relevant questions that aim to draw out quantifiable contributions and achievements. Quite often we find clients need to go back and source relevant information that is virtually impossible to recall at the spur of the moment. This is a process that should not be rushed, nor should you rely on your memory to recall facts and figures. Providing incorrect information that is uncovered during an interview would be embarrassing and potentially damaging to your candidacy;
 æ   this process can also uncover special projects that clients did not recall or document when completing their profiler. The technique allows you to explore your information in far greater depth than what a face-to-face appointment would;
 æ   negates the need for you to take time off from work or studies to make an appointment with us – time is valuable and our process allows you to provide information and answer questions at a time suitable for you whether 5 am in the morning or 11 pm at night.
 æ   avoids the potential situation of a current employer realising you are seeking another position which could jeopardise your current employment situation.

We have included a number of resume samples, viewable from the Products à Resume Development web page.   

How long does it take for my resume to be developed?

Our standard timing is generally 7 - 10 working days (depending on our current bookings), from initial receipt of your completed resume profiler, to a completed resume. However, this does depend on the speed and efficiency on our clients' response to various questions and other fact finding methods we implement. Therefore we need you to work collaboratively with us, be as helpful as possible, and return the information as quickly as possible – after all, you want a document that is going to make an impact on the prospective employer.

If you require your resume urgently, we will be able to accommodate your requirements, however a further charge will be applicable on top of our normal charges. [Refer Additional Charges and scroll down to Rush Order].

I noticed some spelling errors – why is this?

Our company is located in Australia and we are therefore using International English (i.e. authorisation, utilise, specialise, etc) rather than U.S. English (i.e. authorization, utilize, specialize, etc). We work with clients located Internationally and are familiar with each country’s spelling standards.
