About Meaghan

I have been writing resumes for ten years. In that time, I have created thousands of job search documents for clients across diverse industries and all career stages.

On the Resume Blueprints website, I have written extensively on resume writing. You can take a look and get a sense of my approach.

Start with, Guidelines for a Good Resume. This one will give an insight into what I consider the fundamentals of a successful resume. You might also like to take a look at Resume Clichés and Buzzwords. I believe a resume should avoid these clichés and provide a genuine representation of your skills, strengths and unique value.

This is what I offer you. A well-written, persuasive, and authentic resume.

My Qualifications

Before writing resumes, I held roles in human resource management and recruitment at the Department of Justice and Community Safety, Museum Victoria and KPMG. When I commenced writing resumes, I completed a Graduate Certificate in Career Development. This certificate is a nationally recognised professional standard for career professionals. Over the years, I have undertaken additional studies in writing and communications. This includes a Graduate Certificate in Communication (Organisational Communication). I am currently working towards my Graduate Diploma.

Why I Should Write Your Resume

  • My ten years of experience helping clients articulate their unique value

It is hard to write about yourself!  I can help you figure out your strengths and write about them convincingly.  I know what questions to ask to help you identify examples of your achievements and I can turn these into compelling achievement stories for your resume.

  • My human resources, recruitment, career development and communications background

Resume Writers have varied backgrounds. Often, they have previously worked in recruitment or marketing, or perhaps graphic design. I am uniquely positioned with communications and writing expertise alongside my background in career development and human resources.

Furthermore, you work with me directly. I don’t provide your personal details to a third party.

Features of Your New Resume

  • Clean, contemporary, and cohesive resume design

I have created a resume design based on comprehensive research. It has been designed with consideration to applicant tracking system scanning, the impact of colour on impression formation, and eye-scanning patterns.

  • Achievement focused

I will help you to find examples of your successes. Even if you think you don’t have any, you will! But also, I have additional techniques to help you shift your resume from responsibility-focused to result-focused.

  • No buzzwords, no fluff, no overstatements

This one is important. Unfortunately, a feature of many professionally written resumes is generic content. I don’t use filler content.

My Resume Writing Process

The first step is to complete a quote request form. Let me know what you require and I can contact you to discuss.

Make Payment

Payment will be required before I commence your project. You can make your payment via PayPal, Credit Card or bank transfer

Email Your Current Resume & Targeted Role

Once your payment is made, if you haven’t already done so, please email your current resume and example(s) of the role you wish to apply for.

Resume Questionnaire or Phone Call

You can select to complete a resume questionnaire or receive a phone call to provide the additional information required to complete your resume.

Resume Writing

I will commence witting your new resume once I receive your completed resume questionnaire, and/or we complete our phone call. Your responses will be transformed into precise and persuasive content for your resume.

A first draft will be emailed to you within 4-8 business days. (A deadline will be negotiated prior to payment)

You then have a two-week revision period to request changes.

You should allow at least two weeks to work through this complete process. Total turnaround times will depend on how quickly you complete your questionnaire or your availability for a phone call.

Why a Quote?

Your quote will be based on your years of experience, the number of roles you have held, and your level of seniority. By providing me with your current resume, I can also consider the content and quality of your current resume. The price will be agreed and paid prior to writing commencing. As a guide, your resume quote will be between $200 – $450 (Australian Dollars (AUD)).
