Frequently Asked Questions

Choosing a resume writer is a big decision. Below you’ll find answers to the most common questions we’re asked by job seekers on the Central Coast and Newcastle, as well as across Australia.

What does a professional resume writer do?

A professional resume writer is responsible for taking your career history and transforming your experience into content that is clear, strategic and heavily customised to your career objective. At Amlode Employment Services, this includes identifying your key acheivements, translating your experience into role relevant language and structuring your resume for both recruiters and applicant tracking systems (ATS).

What is ATS? 

ATS stands for Applicant Tracking System. It is software used by employers and recruiters to manage job applications, filter resumes and shortlist candidates before a human reviews them. The system looks at relevant keywords, job titles, skills and experience that match their job advertisement. If your resume is poorly written or formatted, it may impact your success rate. All of our resme are written with ATS compatibility in mind while still reading naturally for hiring managers. This balance helps your resume pass initial screening and make a strong impression once it's reviewed by a person.

How much does a resume writer cost?

Australian resume writers have varied pricing, which varies based on their experience level and their service offering.

At Amlode Employment, our pricing packages are mid range, and are further determined by the customer's career history. Our pricing is transparent and has no hidden fees, with each service including personalised consultation and revisions.

How do I find a good resume writer near me?

Not all resume writers are the same! The best way to determine if a resume writer is the right fit for you is to simply ask. Give us a call or send us an email asking questions to see if our process aligns with your needs.
