Services

Resume and cover letter writing invoilves optimising your background and experience, choosing the best format, creating a polished layout, and proofreading your finished resume and creating a cover letter.

While the exact process and details may vary from writer to writer, or service to service, here’s what you can expect from Boost Resumes in Perth.

Treatment of your work history and career objectives

We always review the details that appear at the very top of your resume starting with your name, location, contact details – even your rights to work in Australia.

Your Tasker starts by getting to know your career goals, work experience, skills, values, and more. This introduction helps them capture your voice and align with your vision for your new resume. This part may also include reviewing your current resume.

For the cover letter, your writer may add more personality, depending on the culture of the company you’re applying to. This will be more detailed, so your writer can ask you a series of questions to determine what you want to do with your CV and cover letter, then place the correct information to achieve your objectives.

Choosing the right resume format

Resume writers and resume writing services often go on and on about choosing the right format: This is a bit of nonsense really: The best resume format is the one that conveys the best impression of you possible. Also – while on format – a simple layout that minimises the use of tables – and doesn’t use graphic is really the best way to go!

Naturally – yes – the most common structure of resume is the reverse-chronological format, i.e., your employment history starts with your current or most recent job – and then progressively lists your past roles. This type of resume is focused on work experience and is ideal for those getting promoted from role to role. While it is familiar to potential employers, it isn’t very creative.

In very limited cases, the functional format might be best for first-time job seekers, those with employment gaps, or those who want to shift careers. This format focuses on skills while minimising career history.

Drafting your detailed resume and cover letter (work experience, skills, education)

We list your most recent roles held, i.e., the most relevant jobs in the past 15 years. We list your job title, location, dates employed, employer, location, key achievements (including action words and numbers), key responsibilities, and keywords.

With key skills we recommend listing items that relate best to the job you’re applying for or the job you currently hold. The skills section should include hard skills – such as social media analytics, graphic design - and soft skills such as ability to get on with people, adaptability, and leadership.

We generally won’t list hobbies and interests, but volunteer work, internships (for entry-level job seekers), awards and certifications, languages, projects, and publications may be worth including. After your resume is done, we can write a highly relevant and comprehensive cover letter that summarises these details while highlighting your key achievements.
