2. Resume Writing Services

What does a professional resume writer actually do?

A professional resume writer analyses your career history, strengths, achievements, and goals, then converts that information into a clear, modern, industry-aligned document that performs well in both human and ATS reviews.

We ensure your resume:

  • Uses current Australian recruitment standards
  • Is optimised for ATS (Applicant Tracking Systems)
  • Highlights measurable achievements
  • Is tailored to your industry and job type
  • Speaks the language of recruiters and hiring managers

What industries do you write resumes for?

We write resumes for more than 100 professions, including:

  • Mining & FIFO: production, processing, maintenance, trades, shutdowns, operators, HSE, EMTs, rigging, scaffolding, offshore
  • Corporate: HR, admin, finance, executive assistants, project managers
  • Government: local, state, and federal
  • Healthcare & Nursing: allied health, social work, community services
  • Trades & Construction: carpenters, plumbers, electricians, boilermakers
  • IT & Technology: cybersecurity, support technicians, analysts
  • Education: teaching, childcare, support roles

Whatever your background, we can build a resume that reflects your strengths.

Are your resumes ATS-compliant?

Yes. Every resume is built to perform strongly in Australian ATS scanning systems by using:

  • Correct formatting
  • Keyword alignment
  • Clean headings
  • Role-specific terminology
  • Non-graphic-based content that parses correctly

This dramatically increases your chances of progressing to shortlisting.

How long does it take to receive my resume?

Standard delivery is 3–5 business days.

Can you create a general resume I can use for different roles?

We avoid generic “one-size-fits-all” resumes because they perform poorly. Instead, we create a core resume that can be easily tailored to different jobs while maintaining ATS strength.

Yes. MCP specialises in STAR and SAO-based selection criteria, especially for government and education roles. We help articulate your examples clearly and professionally.

Do you offer LinkedIn optimisation?

Yes. We create powerful LinkedIn profiles that:

  • Reflect your professional brand
  • Rank well in LinkedIn search

  • Align with your resume and cover letter
  • Increase your visibility and industry credibility

A strong LinkedIn profile is now essential for job seekers in Australia.
