Industries

We specialise in resumes and cover letters for these industries.

Each one expects a differently formatted document with different detail in it. A resume built for a mine site is the wrong document for a merit panel, and neither is what Ahpra asks for at registration. Start with your field and see what actually applies to it.

Australian Public Service

Selection criteria and interview prep, written the way panels actually mark them.

  • Selection criteria and one-page pitches
  • APS1 to EL2, including graduate rounds
  • Merit panel and interview preparation

  • FIFO, DIDO and roster availability on the page

Two pages, evidence over stack lists, and a portfolio link only when they ask.

  • Engineering, data, cloud and cyber security roles

What actually changes between them

We read and coded individual Australian job advertisements, one at a time, to find out. The counts below are from those samples, and the sample size is stated because a count without one means nothing.

The second document is not always a cover letter.Cover letters were requested in 4 of 14 healthcare advertisements, 1 of 14 technology advertisements and 1 of 18 mining advertisements. Public sector and government-adjacent employers asked for a written pitch against criteria instead.
Credentials decide the first screen, and they differ completely.Mining advertisements named a specific ticket, licence or statutory certificate in 16 of 18. Healthcare has registration lines that carry a division. Technology named a security clearance in 4 of 14.
The portfolio expectation is a myth in both fields we tested.Zero of 14 technology advertisements and zero of 14 healthcare advertisements asked for a GitHub link, portfolio or external profile. Where GitHub appeared in a technology advertisement, it was named as a tool the team uses.
Almost nobody states a page limit, so the convention decides.Zero of 14 healthcare and zero of 18 mining advertisements stated a page or word limit. Two of the 14 technology advertisements did, and both were government or defence-adjacent: one asked for a two-page pitch, the other for a three to five page CV. Outside that cluster the advertisements set no ceiling, so the two-page convention decides by default rather than by instruction.
