Resume Services

It is critical to have an effective resume ready for a prospective employer. We have professional experience writing resumes. We know what is required and what employers look for. We will compile the relevant information and turn it into a concise, properly formatted and presentable document which will attract the eye of the reader and keep their attention. We also do Cover Letters and specialise in addressing Selection Criteria documents.

 

Resume writing

Resume writing involves detailing everything about you that is relevant to applying for a job. It involves carefully and clearly presenting your qualifications, experience, skills and relevant personal attributes in a document that will grab the attention of any prospective employer. The resumes we write will typically be between one and three pages in length.

Resume preparation

Resume writing involves detailing everything about you that is relevant to applying for a job. It involves carefully and clearly presenting your qualifications, experience, skills and relevant personal attributes in a document that will grab the attention of any prospective employer.

Cover Letters and Selection (or Key) Criteria

Our services include preparing detailed, purposeful and attractive documents which address the criteria your prospective employer requires. This will involve interviewing you over the phone, then getting back to you with a draft until we get it just right. You can trust our expertise in knowing what is required.

CV writing

A CV (curriculum vitae) was once considered to be a longer version of a Resume. In these modern times, however, the two terms are often interchangeable. We find that most employers require a ‘resume’ that details your qualifications, experience, skills and relevant personal attributes. Whether it is a resume or a CV you are after, we will work with you to meet your needs

Writing Services

Writing a book is very rewarding, even more so if it is the story of your journey through life, the ups and downs, your challenges and adventures, those unique moments and the people who have been important to you. We provide assistance for individuals wanting to write their story. Your project can be a memoir, family history, autobiography, article or non-fiction book. Or you may want our assistance in writing a novel or short story. We will help – or take charge of the entire project – by writing, re-writing, researching, editing, transcribing and interviewing. We also assist with advising, planning and the publishing process.

Our writing services include:

Ghostwriting

‘Ghostwriting’ involves writing someone else’s material. It usually refers to working with the information someone else provides, and shaping it into the final product. It is especially important for authors who do not have the time or know-how for creating their own book.

Collaborative writing

Collaborative writing is similar to ghostwriting and often used to mean the same. Collaborative writing, however, is more likely to also refer to researching or otherwise creating the material which is the subject of a book or article.

Writing autobiographies

Greg specialises in collaborating in producing autobiographic material – people’s life stories. He will work with you to hear your story through interviews (usually via skype) and then creating your autobiography one step at a time. Alternatively, you may have already written much of the material for your book, and need us to write, edit or advise according to your requirements.

Writing memoirs

Although a memoir is often considered to be the same as an autobiography, it may differ in that it refers to only a certain period of the author’s life. It may also refer only to certain subject matter, such as the author’s relationship with his or her father. In any case, in the same manner as co-authoring or ghostwriting an autobiography, we can assist with your needs.

Copywriting

Copywriting is written material usually created for advertising, marketing or summarising a larger work. It involves both an understanding of the larger document, and the ability to condense, summarise and promote the key points to meet the needs of the author or the commissioner of the project. It is an area of writing we are very familiar with.

Proofreading Services

Proofreading involves reading through a written document. It often involves looking for errors, like a word missing or misspelt, commas out of place, and inconsistencies with the formatting such as different sized sub-headings. It is time consuming but necessary (who wants to read a document with errors) in ensuring any document is ready for use.

Proofreading

We proofread anything. And through tracking the changes we make we will show you the final adjustments necessary before the document is ready to go.

Copyediting

This is often confused with proofreading, but instead is an essential precursor to proofreading. Copyediting is what is done to a document after the author(s) have finished with it. It is a process whereby everything in a document is checked for consistency and presentation, as well as errors. It is much required before the final proofread is done and involves a thorough examination of formatting, style, word use, spelling, terminology … of everything.
