At Melbourne Resume we understand the significance of a well-crafted resume in your career journey. Our resume writing process is designed to be transparent, collaborative, and tailored to your unique professional story. Here's a step-by-step overview of how our process works:

1. Initial Consultation:

The process kicks off with an initial consultation, either over the phone or in-person, where we get to know you, your career goals, and gather essential information about your work experience, achievements, and skills.

2. Information Gathering:

Following the consultation, we work closely with you to gather comprehensive details. This includes your employment history, educational background, certifications, and any specific details relevant to your target industry or role.

Upon completion of the initial draft, we share it with you for review. This is a collaborative stage where you can provide feedback, and we make revisions as needed.

We do not limit the number of revisions; you simply have a 1-month period from when we write your resume to let us know of any changes you would like.

Whether you are applying for federal or state-level roles, we tailor our services to enhance your chances of success in the competitive government job market. Contact us to discuss how we can support you in pursuing a fulfilling career in the public sector.

"The STAR method, an acronym for Situation, Task, Action, and Result, is a valuable approach we use to construct compelling responses for behavioural or competency-based questions. It is particularly instrumental when we address the selection criteria for government applications.

Situation (S): Provide context by describing a specific situation or scenario related to the selection criteria outlined in a government job application.

Task (T): Clearly define the task or challenge presented in the selection criteria that you needed to address.

Action (A): Articulate the specific actions you took to meet the criteria, emphasising your skills, qualifications, and relevant experiences.

Result (R): Conclude with the positive outcome or results derived from your actions, showcasing the impact of your efforts on the specific criteria.

We utilise the STAR method in government applications ensuring that your responses are structured, detailed, and directly aligned with the criteria sought by government agencies. By employing this method, we effectively demonstrate your competencies and experiences, significantly enhancing your chances of success in the government job application process.

The type of cover letter we write will depend on the industry and job that you are applying for, if you are unsure what is required, please contact our team and email us the link to the advertised role. We can discuss the specific requirements with you.

General Cover Letter:

Used for unspecific job applications, highlighting your general skills, experiences, and enthusiasm for the industry.

Expression of Interest:

Is sent when expressing interest in potential job opening and focuses on qualifications, achievements, and alignment with the company's values.

Selection Criteria Cover Letter:

Is used for government and university applications, addressing specific job requirements and criteria. Responds to each criterion using the STAR method, showcasing relevant experiences.

Limited Word Count Cover Letter:

Is a concise cover letter within a specific word limit. Highlights key skills and achievements briefly while adhering to the word count.

Limited Page Count Cover Letter:

Conveys a comprehensive overview within a specified page limit. Providing a condensed yet impactful presentation of qualifications, skills, and experiences.

Statement of Claims Cover Letter:

Is common in government applications, addressing selection criteria. Is used to present detailed responses to each criterion using the STAR method, demonstrating qualifications and suitability.

Adapting your cover letter to the specific context and requirements is crucial in showcasing your candidacy effectively. Whether responding to criteria, adhering to word or page limits, or expressing general interest, tailoring your cover letter enhances its impact in various application scenarios.

ATS stands for "Applicant Tracking System." It is a software application used by employers and recruiters to manage and streamline the hiring process. ATS is designed to automate the recruitment process by sorting, scanning, and ranking job applications based on specific criteria.

Key functions of an ATS include:

Resume Parsing: ATS analyses and extracts information from resumes, converting them into a standardised format for easier analysis.

Keyword Matching: ATS scans resumes for keywords and phrases relevant to the job description, helping recruiters identify suitable candidates.

Application Screening: It automatically screens and filters applications based on predetermined criteria, such as qualifications, skills, and experience.

Resume Storage: ATS stores candidate information for future reference and analysis, creating a centralised database of applicants.

Resume writing services for the Victorian private sector and VPS

Why blend in.

Large companies in Melbourne receive hundreds of resumes for advertised jobs. Most of these applications pass through something called an Applicant Tracking System (ATS) which scans the resume and generates a suitability profile on the other side. 

Definitely not an issue if you live in a sleepy country town. Massive issue for Melbournians.

We approach writing your resume, cover letters and selection criteria responses with a no-nonsense approach. You need to cut above other applicants with strong content, clear formatting and an appeal to the employer.

Our resume writing service works because we adopt a multi-faceted approach to the development of your resume and selection criteria content, encompassing ATS testing, peer-reviewing  and  development of content in consultation with, and approved by, you.

Selection criteria writing for the Victorian Public Service

We win vps interviews.

We write brilliant selection criteria for our clients by placing the emphasis on our clients– we consider what they have done, what the best scenario is in the context of that role and what picture we are going to create.

The Victorian Public Service have conflicting advice for applicants. Detailed in the VPS How to Apply page, candidates are directed to limit their responses to 60-120 word responses. However, position descriptions regularly advise candidates to submit their application within a two page or word limited statement against the Victorian Public Service capability framework and values.

We ensure that the responses we negotiate in consultation with you meet the challenge of the role, speak to the right capability level and meet the specific requirements of the role.

No padding, no filling. Just targeted content.

Content oriented.

Represent your best self., how we write for different levels, it's why our applications do well.

We use an in-depth understanding of the Victorian Public Service capability framework in our approach to applications. This is an important element to factor in your approach, because the examples you should select should reflect the level you are applying for.

We observe the STAR approach, or CAR as the underpinning structure of selection criteria.

But where we stand out from the crowd is in our total commitment to research.  Your documents are accurate, researched and targeted, and we get to know your skill set before we get to the writing.

Leadership? We want to know about your commercial outcomes, continuous improvement initiatives, staff culture, budget management, and a whole other raft of capabilities.

Customer service? We want to know what defines your approach, how you manage priorities, how you turned an opportunity into a commercial outcome.

Our lowest benchmark is your success.

Melissa is great! She quickly prepared my resume, cover letters & selection criteria. I received multiple interviews, very happy customer! Highly recommend.

Defence Industry related with levels of privacy and discretion. The speed and professionalism of the service they provided me was exceptional. What I loved most was that they were willing to be blunt where others were not. Identifying weaknesses in my resume that most people are blind to see for themselves.

Professional, prompt and easy to deal with. I am very happy with the help that Melissa and her team provided to me. I had a fresh, new, exciting and professional resume plus an accompanying cover letter in just a few days, together with great advice, tips and encouragement. I couldn't recommend The Perfect Resume more highly.

Melissa was awesome. She engaged me in the process, gave really good insight and did a fantastic job with my resume.
