Resumé Review
What is Resumé Review?
Resumé Review is a 20 minute one-to-one feedback session about your resumé, including suggestions for improvement. Advice is provided on content, layout and how well your resumé targets the position you are applying for. Spelling and grammatical mistakes are pointed out, but not corrected.
Staff can review resumés, cover letters or other application documents - however only one item can be reviewed per session. Each session costs $7.50 (inc. GST).
To gain the most benefit from your Resumé Review session, please read the following information.
