Thank you for your assistance with my CV. I don't know whether I told you or not, but I did in fact get the job that I had applied for.

I am now also using the CV that you created to apply for more sessional teaching jobs.

Many thanks

As anyone who has ever stared at a blank screen in Word will tell you, writing a résumé is a challenge. Not only do you need to synthesise all of your skills and talents into approximately one or two pages, you need to create a professional résumé, application letter or selection criteria response that will stand above and beyond all of the other documents a potential employer receives.

At its heart, a résumé is a marketing document. What are you marketing? Yourself.

So, what does the perfect résumé possess? Here are a few essential factors:

• the WOW factor in terms of visual effect
• synergy with the position you're applying for
• honesty and integrity
• energy
• perfect grammar
• YOUR personality

Résumé Analysis

I strongly encourage you to stop right now and review your résumé to see how well it satisfies those criteria. After doing so, if you cannot see the forest for the trees, as is often the case when we're too close to things, I'd be happy to provide a brief analysis of your résumé for FREE.

I also offer a detailed analysis for $50, which will include specific tips for improving your résumé, as well as a quote for me to completely revamp it. If you decide to commission me to give your career documents a makeover, the $50 document analysis fee will reduce your final résumé expenditure.

Résumé Sample

Confidentiality is key in the career document preparation field, but the 'proof is in the pudding' so I have included a sample, with client approval of course. Names and fine detail have been removed. Simply move your mouse over it for a peek at the first page of the résumé or click on the image to download the complete PDF.

Résumé Fees

Each résumé varies and thus a cookie-cutter price is not generally advised. However, to give you a ballpark estimate, most résumés will cost between $200 and $300, with a FREE application letter customised to your top pick job.

• timely response to email messages with a view to completing your résumé quickly and efficiently
