why we’re different:

Our results speak for themselves

The Resume Writers helped to make my dream come true. I applied for a specialist program that had an approximate acceptance rate of 2.5%. After working with Marc to complete my application, I submitted it knowing that I had done everything I could to make it as strong as could be. Marc well and truly exceeded my expectations. He has a true knack for gathering relevant information, asking quality questions, and summarising it all into succinct and cohesive documents. The process itself made me think differently about my previous experiences - Marc assessed all of my experience and identified skills that I had not previously identified for myself. Having an increased understanding of my existing strengths and skills enabled me to provide stronger responses when I was interviewed for the position. This was an unexpected additional benefit of engaging with the Resume Writers. Something else that impressed me was Marc’s patience and willingness to rewrite and tailor my documents as requested. After I received the first draft, I had a change of mind regarding several details that I had requested. Marc did not hesitate to rewrite significant portions of the original documents. Marc and I continued to send the documents back and forth over two weeks, until I said it was ready to go. I could not have been happier with the final results. A few months later, I was accepted into the course. I feel that engaging with the Resume Writers gave my application the edge needed to be in the top 2.5% of applicants. Thank you so much!
As I had not had to do a resume for over 15yrs and didn't even know where to begin it was a relief to have the resume writers do this for me. I received it very quickly after having a short phone call with them. They made the whole process easy.
I had an outstanding experience with The Resume Writers -they are simply the best in the market for professional resume writing. There are plenty of options out there, but you truly get what you pay for, and this service is top-notch. Jacquie took the time to thoroughly understand my complex job application challenges and worked closely with me to craft a dream resume that genuinely reflects who I am, all while maintaining a clear, professional, and simple format. Their friendly and attentive approach made the entire process stress-free. I highly recommend this service to anyone looking for exceptional resume writing!. Trust me- I was concerned at the start hoping what would happen I can understand your situation and very confident to say out loud so far the BEST of the BEST. MONEY WELL SPENT no regrets at all.
From the start where I asked for a quote, too the finished product has been absolutely amazing. After I had filled forms of recent jobs, tickets that needed to be added, I contacted Chloe twice afterwards. She was only to accommodating too help more. Today I received a draft of Resume from Marc, the detail, format and description of daily roles roles etc was spot on. It covers everything, they have made this an very easy, stressful procedure. And when Chloe rang for the quote, she didn't tell too push me into a higher cost, she actually recommended one of the cheapest. Highly recommended. Craig
This team are exceptional at their job! Helped me with my Resume and Selection Criteria and did fantastic work. The turnaround was so quick considering a long weekend was involved. Professional, prompt and thorough service. I highly recommend them.

Resume Writing Services Perth – Designed to Get You Noticed

If your resume doesn’t clearly communicate your unique value, highlight your achievements, make the most of the first page, and shape your career story—then it’s not doing its job.

In Perth’s competitive job market, where employers often spend less than 10 seconds scanning an application, your resume must be clear, relevant and compelling from the outset. At The Resume Writers, we deliver professional resume writing services in Perth that are targeted, industry-specific and created in full consultation with you.

We understand the unique demands of the Western Australian workforce, particularly in high-volume sectors such as mining, resources, construction, transport and logistics. Despite commentary about industry slowdowns, Perth remains a powerhouse in mining and minerals, attracting applicants from across Australia and beyond. As a result, job openings attract large numbers of resumes—many of which go unread without a clear point of difference.

Our approach is not generic. We combine strategic content development, expert formatting, and applicant tracking system (ATS) compliance to ensure your resume stands out—whether you’re applying for roles in FIFO, government, administration, health, or project management.

We write resumes with purpose—ensuring key information is front-loaded, capabilities are clearly articulated, and your documents are structured to cut through the noise. Every resume is crafted with research, care and precision, and always developed in partnership with you.

Selection criteria writing for Western Australia Government

WA Government Applications – Selection Criteria Writing for Western Australian Public Sector Roles

If you’re applying for a WA Government role, your application will typically include a resume and selection criteria responses. A cover letter is not always required, so it’s important to carefully review the job advertisement to confirm the exact requirements.

Applications are usually due by 4:00pm Western Standard Time, and responses to selection criteria must be concise and targeted. In many cases, criteria are word-limited, requiring precision in how you demonstrate your capability. The challenge lies in communicating your experience effectively, especially when application instructions vary significantly between departments.

Before you begin writing, we strongly recommend reviewing the recruitment guidelines for the specific department or agency you’re applying to. These can often be found on the department’s website or confirmed by calling the contact officer listed in the job posting. This small investment of time can ensure your application is aligned with the department’s expectations.

At The Resume Writers, we use a deep understanding of the WA Public Sector Capability Framework to guide our approach. This ensures your examples are aligned with the appropriate level of responsibility and behavioural expectations for the role. You can read more about the framework here.

We write all WA Government selection criteria responses using the STAR method—Situation, Task, Approach, and Result. This structured, formulaic approach allows us to shape your experience into a clear, concise and compelling narrative that speaks directly to the role.

Every response is tailored, professionally written, and developed in consultation with you—so you can present a confident and competitive application for roles across the Western Australian public sector.

How we write for different levels

It's why our applications do well

WA Government Selection Criteria – Written with Precision and Purpose

We apply an expert understanding of the Western Australian Government Capability Framework to every application we write. This framework plays a critical role in selecting the right examples—your responses must reflect the appropriate classification level and capabilities expected for the position.

Our responses are structured using the STAR method (Situation, Task, Action, Result), which is widely recognised as best practice for addressing government selection criteria in Western Australia. This approach allows us to create clear, evidence-based narratives that demonstrate how your experience aligns with the role requirements.

But what truly sets us apart is our rigorous, research-driven process. We don’t begin writing until we fully understand your professional background, responsibilities, achievements and the specific context of the role. Every document is targeted, accurate and written in close consultation with you.

Applying for a leadership role? We’ll ask about your commercial impact, cultural leadership, process improvements, strategic planning, and financial management.

Focused on frontline or customer service delivery? We’ll explore what defines your service approach, how you manage competing demands, and the outcomes you’ve delivered through initiative and engagement.

We don’t do generic content. We do tailored applications that reflect your strengths and position you as a serious contender.

At The Resume Writers, your success is the standard we write to.

Content oriented.

We do what AI can't

FAQs

What makes The Resume Writers different?

We’re one of Australia’s largest resume writing services, backed by an all-Australian team. Our approach combines persuasive copywriting with personalised service—designed to help you stand out in today’s competitive job market.

Unlike many services, our goal is not to create ongoing dependency. We aim to empower you through the process, equipping you with the confidence and tools to manage your documents independently.

During our one-hour consultation, we uncover insights about your experience, skills, and capabilities—often the kind of detail people find difficult to articulate themselves. Our mission is to genuinely impress hiring managers with the quality of your content and help you discover strengths you may not have recognised.

What services do you offer?

We offer professional resumes, cover letters, LinkedIn profiles, selection criteria responses, and interview training. Our services are tailored to your career goals and written by expert Australian writers with deep industry knowledge.

How does the process work?

Once you complete the quote form, you’ll be given the option to book a 15 minute quote review with our Head of Engagement, and you’ll receive your customised quote, Get Job Ready Guide, and free resume review (if you have one). If you decide to proceed, we ask you to self-schedule a one-hour information gathering session with a writer. Payment is due following that call, and drafts are sent within three business days of payment being made with your Managing Next Step guide. You are then able to book as many draft review meetings as you like, or collaborate with us on changes digitally– whichever suits you best. You then have a 14 day unlimited editing period and a 90 day job guarantee.

Who will write my resume?

Your resume will be written by an experienced Australian writer who is a member of The Resume Writers team—not AI or overseas contractors. Our team has helped thousands of clients across all sectors and seniority levels, including executives and government applicants.

How long does it take?

We deliver first drafts within 3 business days following payment being made. Expedited options are available if you’re working to a tight deadline.

Are your resumes ATS-friendly?

Yes. All resumes are professionally formatted and optimised to pass through Applicant Tracking Systems used by Australian employers and recruiters.

Can you help if I’ve never had a resume or don’t know where to start?

Absolutely. Our writers are skilled at guiding clients who are starting from scratch. We’ll help you uncover your strengths and translate them into clear, marketable content.

Do you write government applications and selection criteria?

Yes. We are highly experienced in writing for APS, state government, and education sector roles. We align responses with STAR or SAO frameworks and tailor them to the advertised capabilities.

Do you offer interview coaching as well?

Yes. We offer one-on-one interview training sessions to help you prepare and perform with confidence. These sessions cover behavioural questions, strategy and delivery.

How do I get started?

Simply get in touch via our website or call us on 1300 272 477. We’ll recommend the best package for your needs and schedule your consultation at a time that suits you.

What does the 90 day guarantee mean?

While most of our clients are employed far faster than 90 days, government applicants tend to take longer, and for this reason we measure our success by 90 day marks. If you haven’t succeeded in a role by 90 days, we need to go back to the drawing board and we’ll do that at no extra cost to you.
