RESUMES & APPLICATION LETTERS

 

Things have changed a lot in how you apply for a job today. You really need a professional to assist you, especially for Government positions.

Once upon a time you could walk in and say "here I am and this is what I have done" and you get the job! Not any more, you must have a Resume. With the age of personal computers a lot of people prepare their own without really knowing what is required.

 

We have developed a resume format over a period of 10 years and keep abreast with what type of information is required for your Resume. We know what people are looking for and this will give you a much better chance of getting an interview.

 

For Government job applications, they generally have "Selection Criteria", where they have a number of questions you need to answer specifically based on your experience and knowledge. We can help you put this information onto paper. Often people have trouble selling themselves or putting their experience into words – we can help!

 

A well written application letter addressing all the criteria listed in the advertisement is a major component in applying for a job.

 

If the position vacant is not a Government position, we also believe that it is very important for you to include a covering application letter, generally only one page. This is a summary of your experience and skills and how these meet the requirements for the position you are applying for. This is really an introduction to your Resume and will invite potential employers to read further.

 


 

 

COSTS

Resumes start from $110.00 this includes:

  • Resume on your choice of quality paper
  • Presentation folder
  • Copy on disk or emailed to your home address
  • Information on Interview Techniques
  • 2 copies of your Resume on white paper

The cost of a one page application letter is approximately $50.00.

 

The cost of a Government application letter, addressing selection criteria is $50.00 per page. The total cost will depend upon how many selection criteria questions there are.

 


 

 

We prefer to make an appointment for at least 1 hour to put the Resume together with you, and generally it is finished when the appointment is over – so you can take it with you!

 

If you would like a government selection criteria letter, we would request at least another hour for this.

 

We also keep your resume and application letters on file, so if you need to update or would like to apply for another job in the future – we can help for a very low cost.
