You're a shoo-in.
Résumés, cover letters and selection criteria written by real people, for Australian job seekers - private sector, government and APS. It starts with an honest, free read of what you have now.
A real writer replies within one working day - no bots, no spam.
Shortlist-ready in three steps
No templates, no guesswork. Every document starts with your actual evidence and the specific role you want.
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.
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.
Apply with confidence
Your new documents arrive in five working days - ATS-tested, two 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.

ADF rank & role translatorQuestions, 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, not a sales script - 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 your résumé before any human does - and rejects roughly three quarters of applications on formatting and keywords alone. We parse-test every document against tracking software before delivery, so yours survives to reach a person.
How fast can you turn it around?
Standard delivery is five working days from your completed brief. If a closing date is bearing down, the priority lane is three days - mention it in your review request and we'll confirm availability before you pay anything.
What if I don't like the draft?
Two revision rounds are included in every plan, and one is usually enough - the draft is built from your own words. If we genuinely miss the brief, we rewrite it.
