Resume Writing

Many people think that they should be able to write their own resume or cv. After all, they can write reports and other business documents so they  presume that they are completely qualified to write their own resume.

simply by incorporating some changes in your resume.

Resume Review. Your resume may only need a bit of rearranging and we offer you a resume review service to turn it into a highly effective document. To illustrate this point, the following testimonial came from a marketing professional who utilised  the Resume Review Service

I have just accepted a global marketing manager's position and I wanted to say a very big thank you for the help you gave me with my resume. Without a doubt since I incorporated your suggested changes, my success rate at obtaining an interview increased beyond belief.   I've had more interviews these last couple of weeks than I ever had before and now I've been offered an excellent position that I'm really very excited about.

Thank you Iris!"   Ann Divers, QLD.

Selection Criteria Review  We will review your final copy, we do not write the selection criteria for you. Writing selection criteria is not an easy process and you need to get it right. We recommend a book "Winning Job Applications" as the best selection criteria reference book available to help you to write selection criteria correctly and effectively, to get you to at least the shortlist if not to the interview stage, as long as you have the skills required. Competition can be high, so you really need to learn how to write an persuasive job application using selection criteria.  See our review

Writing Tender Submissions for Small Business

Tender writing can be very time consuming for small businesses.  Before you decide to get involved with the tendering process go back and look at past tenders in your area of expertise (See how to get this information in our tender writing section). You will notice that you will be required to have a lot of management processes in place such as a management structure, a health and safety policy and in most cases, your company needs to be quality assured.

You may have these polices in place and you  need to work out if the profit is worth all the trouble.

It is a fair bet that a small business will not have the time, and in many cases the expertise, to wade through all the tender requirements. So you may have come to this site to see how we can assist you.

If you are not ready at this particular stage in your business you may want to start putting management policies in place. You will find some advertisements on our tender writing page and also see our business support services. You may want to explore these pages for other companies if we cannot help you, as recently we are always booked out well in advance with our resume services.  You will have to go to a specialist company if you want to be quality assured as it is a big undertaking.

Go to our small business resources section for information on business.
