Brisbane Resume Writing — FAQ
Do you write resumes for all industries in Brisbane?
Yes, for construction, project management, trades, mining, engineering, manufacturing, hospitality, policing, nursing, the airline industry, retail, sales, customer service, administration, teaching, government roles, councils, even the Australian Antarctic Expedition (a tradesperson and yes, he got the job!)
Is Get Ahead Resumes a local Brisbane business?
Yes, it's a business based in Birkdale, Qld.
Do I need to meet with you?
No, in fact, as I need to concentrate, write, question and listen carefully when preparing your documents, it works much better over the phone; you also save on travel and fuel!
What do I need to prepare?
It's good to have accurate start and finish dates for jobs, particularly recent ones, otherwise, just tell me what you have done in your jobs and I'll do the rest!
How long does it take to get my resume?
Normally between 24 - 48 hours after the consultation.
Do I really need a cover letter?
It's better to send one, as it introduces you, why you are interested in the role, what you can offer and gives you a chance to show how motivated you are to join their organisation. If you don't, they have no idea if their job is one of 20 you are applying for. Every employer wants to feel you are committed to their role above all others. However, if they specifically ask for just a resume, then don't include a cover letter.
Can you write selection criteria responses for Queensland Government and corporate roles?
Yes. I write selection criteria responses for local councils, health authorities, state government departments and corporate roles using the STAR methodology.
Can you help with LinkedIn profiles for Brisbane professionals?
Yes, I write LinkedIn profiles that are consistent with your resume, optimised for recruiter searches and written in the right tone for your industry.
Do you work with clients outside Brisbane?
Yes! All services are delivered by phone or email, so I work with clients across SE Queensland, including the Redlands, Gold Coast, Sunshine Coast, Ipswich, Logan, Moreton Bay and interstate.
About Your Brisbane Resume Writer
Julia Pons
Recruitment Consultant turned Resume Writer
After 10 years working as a Senior Recruitment Consultant in Brisbane CBD, following my successful management and training experience in the corporate sector, I noticed that few people were helping job applicants — all the focus was on the clients.
That's what motivated me to found Get Ahead Resumes and make positive changes in people's lives.
