Or is it vague and me-too? Can they express their differences from competitors without falling back on generic platitudes like &#8220;#1 resume writer in Australia&#8221;?<\/li><li><strong>Team LinkedIn Profiles<\/strong>: Are they generic, lifeless, dry, and propped up by\u00a0clich\u00e9d phrases like &#8220;Jane has achieved significant success in various roles and projects&#8230;.&#8221;?

Often, a single word can transform the impression made by a brand.

Are They Overpriced<\/strong>?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Broadly, Australian resume writing services operate at 3 price points:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"arrow-wrapper\"><div class=\"arrow-list\"><ul><li><strong>$70-$500: resume mills.\u00a0<\/strong>High-volume operations focus on spicing up the language of your resume and cleaning up its layout.\u00a0Minimal attention paid to positioning and branding. Work is usually offshored to employees who spend 15-45 mins on your resume.<\/li><li><strong>$500-$2,000: mid-weights.<\/strong>\u00a0You can expect higher-level professionals to work on your resume &#8211; typically those with stints in recruitment, admin, HR or communications under their belts. The writers try to sell you by reshaping your achievements and writing a suitable profile (with varying degrees of success).<\/li><li><strong>$2,000 and above: top-tiers.<\/strong>\u00a0The company leverages the expertise of its hand-picked and in-house trained professionals to craft bespoke resumes, which are, effectively, marketing campaigns built on top personalised branding strategies. Your career documents distil your value and align it with your desired career direction. A commercial narrative is strategically woven through your resume and other career assets.<\/li><\/ul><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>The cost has traditionally correlated with the quality of outcomes. Most operators tended to stay in their lanes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, I&#8217;ve noticed a disturbing trend where operators are attempting to cash in on the rise in popularity of personal branding through overcharging and over-promising.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On a practical level, it means that <em>&#8220;resume mill&#8221;<\/em> grade resumes are sold at <em>&#8220;mid-weight&#8221;<\/em> prices, while<em>&#8220;mid-weight&#8221;<\/em> resumes are claimed to have features typically found at the <em>&#8220;top-tier&#8221;<\/em> level (e.g., a value proposition and\/or a cohesive career narrative).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"indent-wrapper\"><div class=\"indented-text\"><span>Unfortunately, there&#8217;s no black-and-white rule to help you navigate around this challenge.<\/span><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>I suggest you rely on a combination of your gut feel and your scrutiny of all other points I cover in this guide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you&#8217;re having doubts, speak to someone at the company over the phone and probe for cracks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Do they sound as though they\u2019re &#8220;at your level&#8221;? If not, they\u2019re unlikely to be able to communicate your expertise better than you can yourself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"indent-wrapper\"><div class=\"indented-text\"><span>Tell them about your current career challenge and see if they can offer an intelligent solution while advising you on effective job search strategies. <\/span><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>If you&#8217;re like most people, you&#8217;ll be able to tell a difference between a salesperson who is rehashing lines to sell you something and an elite-level professional who has the ability to solve complex problems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:55px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>3. Do Their Reviews Seem Legitimate?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The authenticity of testimonials on a resume writer&#8217;s website is almost always impossible to verify.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A more reliable&nbsp;sign&nbsp;of credibility is a&nbsp;substantial number of positive reviews on Google My Business.&nbsp;This platform includes checks and balances to ensure that reviews are authentic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, Google My Business reviews can also be&nbsp;fabricated. Thankfully, they\u2019re often easy to spot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"indent-wrapper\"><div class=\"indented-text\"><span><em>Most of the time, fake reviews will be written by the same person; this means they\u2019ll inherit that person\u2019s preference for sentence structure, tone, punctuation and rhythm.<\/em><\/span><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>They also tend to repeat the same few points, which the business owner knows to be key sticking points for potential customers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"indent-wrapper\"><div class=\"indented-text\"><span><em>&#8220;At first,<\/em> I was concerned about the cost, but now I\u2019m glad <em>I\u2019ve decided to spend the money.&#8221;<\/em><\/span><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>I recommend reading 5-10 reviews and paying close attention to what\u2019s being said.&nbsp;See if you can identify patterns in the language and stated benefits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Note that the absence of a photograph in a reviewer\u2019s profile isn\u2019t necessarily an indicator of inauthenticity. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"indent-wrapper\"><div class=\"indented-text\"><span>Due to this work&#8217;s sensitive nature, clients often prefer to remain anonymous.<\/span><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>However, be wary when the profiles of&nbsp;most (or all)&nbsp;reviewers lack photographs. Again, look for unnatural patterns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:55px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>4. Is Their Experience A Match For Your Seniority Level?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>A resume writer might have&nbsp;great reviews from accountants and electricians, but this doesn\u2019t necessarily mean they can write an effective executive resume for a General Manager or a Chief Financial Officer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"arrow-wrapper\"><div class=\"arrow-list\"><ul><li><strong>Find a company<\/strong> that specialises in writing resumes for people at your level of seniority.<\/li><\/ul><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>You&#8217;ll find that most companies don&#8217;t specialise, instead preferring to serve the entire breadth of the market &#8211; from entry-level professionals to C-suite executives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It&#8217;s important to remember that executive resumes are held to a higher standard on multiple levels, so selecting an operator with a strict specialisation in executive careers will almost always translate into a greater competitive advantage for you in the marketplace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"indent-wrapper\"><div class=\"indented-text\"><span>This is because a narrow focus allows a provider to develop a higher level of skill in their chosen area.<\/span><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>It&#8217;s a basic principle you&#8217;ve undoubtedly seen in almost every profession and industry (general practitioners vs cardiologists, Toyota vs Bentley, etc).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:55px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>5. Be Sceptical About Resume Writing Certifications.<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Contrary to what the certifying bodies would have us believe, there is no linkage between resume writer certification and competence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"arrow-wrapper\"><div class=\"arrow-list\"><ul><li><strong>There are terrible resume writers<\/strong> who are certified and good resume writers who are not &#8211; and vice versa.<\/li><\/ul><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>If you&#8217;re confused by the different acronyms, here&#8217;s a quick overview.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are several certifications&nbsp;for resume writers:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"arrow-wrapper\"><div class=\"arrow-list\"><ul><li><strong>You&#8217;re<\/strong> most likely to encounter the Certified Professional Resume\u00a0Writer (CPRW),\u00a0the Certified Advanced Resume\u00a0Writer (CARW) and the Certified Master Resume Writer (CMRW).<\/li><li><strong>If<\/strong> you&#8217;re shopping beyond the Australian borders, you&#8217;re also likely to encounter NCRW and NCOPA &#8211; certifications from the USA-based National Resume Writers Association (NRWA).<\/li><\/ul><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>I don\u2019t have any of these certifications.
