Sneak Peek
Improve your resume and perform better at job interviews.
First impressions count. A resume, with a covering letter will often be your first opportunity to impress an employer and optimise your chance of being interviewed.
The interview becomes your chance to shine. If you want to stand out, impress an employer and be offered a job; you need to do your very best at writing a resume, and presenting yourself throughout a job interview.
