1

Send your résumé

Upload your current document and the role you're chasing. We reply with a free, honest review - including when you don't need us.

2

Brief your writer

A structured written brief digs out the numbers, scope and outcomes your old résumé buried under "responsible for". Prefer to talk? A live session is there on request.

3

Apply with confidence

Your new documents arrive in five working days - ATS-tested, revision rounds included, yours to keep and adapt.

A real writer, start to finish

Your résumé isn't generated then forgotten - it's owned, by a person whose name is on it. Your writer digs for the evidence your old résumé buried, then reads every draft line back against it.

You'll know your writer's name. They'll know your story, from the brief to the final file.

The edit is the evidence

No borrowed praise and no invented reviews here. Judge the work directly: real sentence patterns, before and after our edit.

Responsible for managing stakeholders and providing administrative support.

Coordinated briefings across four business units, cutting ministerial submission turnaround from five days to two.

Why it works: responsible for tells the reader you were nearby when work happened. The rewrite names the scope and the change, so the claim can be tested and believed.

A dynamic team player with excellent communication skills.

Chaired the weekly handover between clinical and administrative teams, cutting missed referrals from 14 a month to 2.

Why it works: we do not reword filler, we replace it. The adjectives were occupying space that a real, checkable achievement was waiting to use.

Documents built to pass the filters - and the humans

Hiring software pulls the text out of your file before anyone opens it, and if that goes wrong the person reads a mess. So we pull the text out ourselves first, and check every job, date and contact detail is still there and still in order. Then a writer reads it the way a recruiter does.

Questions, answered honestly

What do I actually get in the free review?

A real person reads your résumé against the kind of role you're chasing and replies within one working day: what's working, what's costing you interviews, and whether a rewrite is genuinely worth paying for. It's a review: plenty of people leave with free advice and a perfectly good résumé.

Will you invent experience to make me look better?

Never. Everything we write comes from your brief and your own documents, and you approve every line. Our job is finding the true things you've been underselling - there are always more of them than you think.

Do you handle APS and government applications?

Yes - it's a specialty. Selection criteria, pitches and statements of claims are written against the Integrated Leadership System capability framework for your target classification, APS4 through EL2, in the STAR evidence shape assessors actually mark against.

What's an ATS, and why does it matter?

Applicant-tracking systems are the software that reads, files and searches your résumé before any human does. When formatting breaks the parse, your history arrives as noise and a recruiter's keyword search never finds you. We parse-test every document against tracking software before delivery, so yours survives to reach a person.

How fast can you turn it around?

Express arrives in under 48 hours. Bespoke is five working days from your completed brief, with a 48-hour rush lane for $90 if a closing date is bearing down - mention the date in your review request and we'll confirm availability before you pay anything.

What if I don't like the draft?

Revision rounds are included in every plan - one on Express, two on bespoke - and one is usually enough, because the draft is built from your own words. If we genuinely miss the brief, we rewrite it.

Your next role is one document away.
