How To Find A Good Resume Writing Service

One question I am often asked as a Melbourne Resume Writing Service is how to find a good resume writing service. While most of the selection is down to trial and error there are some areas you will want to ensure you have researched prior to taking that first step to place your order.

Firstly, who is writing your resume? Is it the person you are in contact with, or are they outsourcing the work locally or overseas. This is an important question because obviously, it is much easier to be corresponding with the writer directly to convey any feedback or personal requirements.






Ask what is there experience and background. Many services are office staff and administrative rather than HR trained. By using a service with Human Resourcing skills, you can engage in specific dialogue relating to your applications and seek detailed advice to help you. Also, resume formats change and it is useful to have a writer who is abreast of HR changes within the industry.

Editable versions of your resume and cover letter are very important in case you want to self edit for minor updates to study and work in the future. If they only offer PDF’s then you aren’t getting value for money because you won’t be able to update them yourself.

Check if there is a deadline/or number of times you can provide feedback for amendments. Some customers of my Melbourne Resume Writing Service have previously used services where they missed a 24hr window for feedback and were stuck with a final copy that was insufficient. Your resume writing service should provide a reasonable timeframe to continue working with you so you are happy with the end result.

Finally, a good resume writing service will always provide truthful feedback. Many clients like to think everything they have done is important to list on the resume. If you provide 30 pages and 90% of it is of no value to your resume, then a good writer will advise you and be able to sort the imperative information from the irrelevant or low priority details.

Finally, by conducting a small bit amount of research you too can utilise an effective resume service such as the Melbourne Resume Writing Service I provide. Good luck with your job seeking.
