You need to engage your reader and target the position
The letter of application must be tailored to the specific position you are applying for

What is all important
This also shows what value you can bring to the role for which you are applying.
Take Time to
Tailor your letter to each position you apply for and the main message is, DO NOT use the same letter for all positions you apply for, you are missing an opportunity to sell yourself and show why your skills and
experience are the perfect ‘fit’ with the job and company you are targeting.


Your letter is as important as your resume
The Process
Fill out the contact form or email us at virginia@sydneyresumes.com.au to get started. We will help you select a resume package that meets your individual needs.
The process starts with our in-depth intake interview via phone so we can learn more about your goals and challenges. The interview typically lasts 50-70 minutes, during which we will discuss your current situation, target opportunities, and background in depth, and set our strategy for moving forward.
Turnaround time for the initial documents is typically 5-7 business days following the initial intake discussion. All documents are delivered in PDF and editable Word documents. Together we will go through the revisions process to ensure all content is accurate and optimized. If you purchased a LinkedIn profile, we will deliver a mockup of the profile and upon completion of revisions, update the live content.
Working with Sydney Resumes is an ongoing partnership, and we encourage our clients to reach out with questions related to their search, or for future assistance with updating or tailoring the resume as you progress in your career.
