A compelling resume must be concise and tailored to the employer's selection criteria, highlighting your principal achievements and specialist skills. It should transcend a simple list of roles and career milestones.

Just as you wouldn’t craft a marketing document without considering how it will address the needs of your target audience, your resume must perform the same critical function, meticulously aligning with the needs of potential employers. Demonstrate how your attributes not only meet but benefit the employer, ensuring your application stands out.

FAQS

What exactly are 'selection criteria'?

Think of it as your road-map to standing out, ensuring your application showcases the exact skills and accomplishments your potential employer is looking for. More...

Selection criteria spell out the specific skills, experiences, and personal qualities ("attributes") a company seeks in candidates for a role, particularly important for executives aiming to align with an organisation's strategic objectives and culture.

These criteria often encompass a range of must-have and nice-to-have qualifications, such as:

  • Relevant educational achievements and professional background.
  • Proven leadership and team management abilities.
  • Strategic planning and industry-specific knowledge.
  • Essential personal traits, like reliability and the ability to adapt.
Also known by various terms such as Job Specs, Position Requirements, and Competency Frameworks, these criteria provide a clear picture of what is expected from applicants, covering both technical competencies and behavioural attributes.

Understanding and addressing these criteria in your application is key to demonstrating your fit for the role and advancing your executive career within a competitive job market. They may be explicit (you're told what they are are) but are frequently implicit (you need to glean what they may be).

I'm dedicated to contributing to your professional success, offering frank and personalised feedback on your resume. This constructive critique is aimed at refining your document, elevating it to meet industry norms and employer expectations. When a specific job specification isn't targeted, I utilise the general selection criteria for the sector or job classification to tailor your application, ensuring broad appeal and relevance. However, this is not as effective as a bespoke submission.

    Next, we carefully review and enhance your resume, focusing on crafting a narrative that aligns closely with the employer's requirements. Each aspect is examined to ensure optimal alignment and a compelling pitch.

  • Supporting documents and social media.

    We prepare requested supporting materials like cover letters and answers to questions. We also create or fine-tune your social media presence to ensure it reflects a consistent and professional image, further supporting your application.

  • Application submission.

    This final phase is where you submit the carefully curated and error-free application to the potential employer, ensuring it adheres to all specifications. This is designed to maximise your likelihood of being called for an interview.
This holistic approach aims to boost your success in securing interviews by meticulously aligning your profile with employer expectations and weaving a persuasive story of your skills and experience. Although our strategy adapts to each client's unique needs, this outline showcases our core methodology.
In situations without a specific job target, we apply sector-wide or role-specific criteria to tailor your application, ensuring broad relevance and appeal. Nonetheless, this broad-stroke approach may not be as effective for executive positions, which require bespoke applications.
