"When I was made redundant from my job of 8 years I applied for around 50 positions over a period of four months, landing just a single interview. After approaching CV People and being assigned to Sarah, I secured 4 interviews from my next 10 applications. I had 3 solid offers within 4 weeks of using the service! The difference was truly remarkable. Sarah, thank you so so much."
Our Bespoke Resume Writing Process
Did you know that 74% of job applications are rejected during the resume screening stage? This often happens because candidates focus solely on their own career history without aligning it with the key requirements of their target positions. As a result, their application documents fail to address the selection criteria that recruiters are seeking.
At CV People, we take a completely different approach. We conduct in-depth research into the exact requirements of your target roles and industry to ensure we thoroughly understand the skills, experience, and qualifications that matter most to perspective employers. Through our strategic consultation call with you, we focus on these exact requirements, enabling us to present your unique value proposition and position you as the candidate of choice for every application.
Existing Resume Critique
STEP 1.
Our expert resume writers conduct an extensive review that examines every critical aspect - including layout and design for visual appeal and readability, grammar and written content for clarity and professionalism, and targeting to assess how well your resume aligns with your desired positions. We focus on identifying issues and areas for improvement to enhance the overall impact of your resume on potential employers.
In addition, we run your resume through an Applicant Tracking System (ATS) simulation tailored to your target roles. This analysis reveals how your current resume scores against specific job descriptions and whether it would pass the initial ATS screening. By highlighting areas needing improvement from an ATS perspective, we generate a report that provides valuable insights that will guide us when we craft your new resume from scratch.
Target Position Research
STEP 2.
In this crucial step, your resume writer meticulously studies your target position(s)/industry to pinpoint the skills, experience, and qualifications that matter most to perspective employers. They gain an acute understanding of the specific requirements for the roles you’re aiming for.
By thoroughly understanding what’s required, your resume writer will strategically highlight these elements in your application documents. They focus on aligning your resume with the exact expectations of potential employers, ensuring that your application resonates with hiring managers and sets you apart from other candidates. This targeted approach maximises the impact of your resume and vastly increases your chances of securing interviews for your desired roles.
Strategy Consultation Call
STEP 3.
Our process continues with a personalised strategy consultation, where we’ll connect via phone or Zoom at a time that best fits your schedule. In this in-depth conversation, your resume writer will discuss their findings from Stage 1 and Stage 2. This is your opportunity to share more about your skills, experience, and achievements, so we can ensure they align perfectly with the requirements we’ve identified.
During the call, your resume writer takes the time to understand your professional journey. By delving deep into your career highlights and personal accomplishments, we will tailor your new resume to showcase your strengths in direct relation to your target roles. This collaborative approach ensures that your application documents not only reflect who you are but also resonate with what employers are specifically looking for, positioning you as a standout candidate in the competitive job market.
Scope Of Works
STEP 4.
Building on the foundation of our resume review, the insights from our target position research, and the detailed information you’ve shared during our strategy consultation, we draft a personalised Scope of Works. This outlines exactly what we need to focus on when creating your new application documents to ensure they effectively highlight your qualifications and align with the specific requirements of your desired roles.
The Scope of Works serves as a roadmap for the development of your new resume and related documents. Before your resume writer commence drafting, we’ll present this plan for your review and approval. By agreeing on the scope, we ensure that we’re fully aligned on the objectives and expectations, setting the stage for creating powerful application documents that significantly enhance your chances of success in your job search.
Document Drafting & Design
STEP 5.
Your expert resume writer brings everything together to craft your personalised, bespoke resume from scratch. Utilising all the information gathered from the previous four stages - your current resume review, target position research, strategy consultation insights, and the agreed-upon scope of works - they meticulously create a document that positions you as the ideal candidate for your desired roles.
Our resume writers dedicate an average of eight hours to each first draft, writing every document from scratch and building a bespoke, professional document design around the written content. Our bespoke resume writing process is the most thorough and among the most successful in the industry and has helped over 60'000 clients land more interviews since 2011.
ATS Optimisation
STEP 6.
74% of online applications are rejected by Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS) before they ever reach a hiring manager. To ensure your resume doesn’t become just another statistic, we incorporate ATS optimisation into our bespoke resume writing process as standard. Leveraging the insights from our target position research and strategy consultation call, we tailor your resume to align with the specific keywords and criteria that these systems are designed to detect.
Our commitment is to have your resume score above 90% on ATS simulations for your targeted positions. We achieve this by ensuring every word adds tangible value, strategically embedding relevant keywords, and formatting your document to be ATS-friendly. This attention to detail increases your chances of passing through these automated filters, so your application lands where it matters most - in front of decision-makers eager to find candidates like you.

Follow-Up Call & Revisions
STEP 7.
Our commitment to your success doesn’t end with the delivery of your first draft. We ensure that every client receives nothing less than the perfect resume - one that meets all the requirements prospective employers are seeking while accurately showcasing your unique skills, achievements, experience, and qualifications.
To achieve this, we schedule a follow-up consultation call after you’ve had a chance to review your new documents. During this call, we welcome your feedback and discuss any adjustments you’d like to make. We understand that your insights are crucial in refining your resume to truly reflect your professional narrative.

What's the difference between CV People's premium service and a budget resume service?When engaging a professional resume service there's typically two types of company you'll come across: Budget Resume Mills Price Point: A$100 - A$500 CV Writers: Usually overseas freelance copywriters Volume: Hundreds of generic resumes per week Project Time: 1 - 2 hours Process: Re-write or edit the existing resume. Work from templates. No direct communication with writer or via email. Usually 1 round of revisions Bespoke, Premier Resume Writers - (CV People) Price Point: A$800 - A$1,200 CV Writers: Directly employed master resume writers & application experts. 100% Aussie based. Minimum 10 years experience Volume: Work with a maximum of 4 clients per week Project Time: 10 - 12 hours Process: Study of target positions. Critique of existing resume and report compiled. In-depth Strategy consultation call. Resume written & design from scratch using only relevant skills, experience and achievements. Resume designed & formatted around the written content. Follow up consultations. Unlimited revisions If you are looking for a fast, budget service, a resume mill may be an option for you. However, the likelihood is you're probably best saving your money and writing it yourself using the free advice contained in our blog. These operators typically outsource to non-native English speaking countries where labour is cheap and quality is poor. They don't include consultation calls, and limit revisions, producing templated, rushed resumes, often littered with mistakes and not an accurate reflection of their clients skills, experience and achievements. With competition for jobs at an all time high, a bespoke, professionally written, ATS optimised resume is the only way to guarantee more interviews. This is the level of service you can expect when engaging CV People®.

What is an Applicant Tracking System (ATS) and how do they work?An applicant tracking system is a piece of software that 98% of job boards and individual companies now use to filter out unsuitable applications, saving the recruiter time reviewing unsuitable applications. The ATS is setup by the recruiter when they post their job advert on a job board (Seek, Indeed, etc.) or their own website. The recruiter submits the key requirements for the job, such as specific skills, education, experience, qualifications, etc. The ATS then uses resume parsing software to 'read' your resume and makes a decision as to whether you qualify to have your resume shown to the recruiter - or not. A frightening statistic is that 3/4 resumes are never actually seen by the recruiter and are automatically rejected by ATS software. The average ATS score against targeted positions is an astonishing low 34%, with only 1/17 resumes scoring above 90% for the candidates targeted positions (usually written by a professional resume writing service). If you're making applications that you are qualified for and receiving templated rejection emails or no feedback at all, your resume is likely being rejected by the ATS and not the hiring manager or recruiter. We guarantee to get your resume past the ATS for targeted positions.
-
Can I request revisions? How long will they take?Yes! Unlike budget services we don't limit your revisions. We strive to create the perfect resume for every client, and we don't stop working until that's exactly what you have. Your resume writer will deliver requested revisions by 5pm, the following business day, providing they have had the opportunity to clarify any extra information they require with you.
