Professional Resume Writing Services
Professional resume writers and CV writers for senior Australian roles
Our resume writing services are perfect for those seeking an impressive CV or resume to accompany their job application. Our team develops a story, theme, and brand that is consistent throughout.
By systematically interrogating your existing resume material, we rebuild it from the ground up using a methodology and structure built for success in the highly competitive professional job market of today.
Your new CV is constructed, drafted, written, proofed, and peer-reviewed by at least three professionals – all before you even get your first draft.
It is estimated that 90% of applicants never get an interview. Why? They produce poorly formatted, generic application documents lacking appropriate keywords. Executive Agents’ team of copywriters and editors will make sure that the best possible version of you appears on paper. Rather than spending hours writing job applications, let us take care of it all for you.
We’ll keep working on your documents until you’re completely satisfied. We give you this powerful guarantee to make it easy for you to place your trust in us.
Our team is 100% Australia-specialised and most of our talent holds some of the highest qualifications possible. Why put the future of your career in the hands of one of the many dubious operators on the internet claiming to be local yet use minimal or no local talent? We actively monitor trends in the local job market and are highly attuned to what your resume needs and what it doesn’t in order to succeed in the increasingly competitive Australian job market.
You are a general manager, a senior manager, a director, a principal specialist or a senior public servant. You are applying for roles that draw sixty to two hundred applicants, most of them screened by software before a human reads a word.
You do not need a resume. You need someone to work out what you are actually selling, and then say it in two pages.
This service is built for people applying at senior level — leading a team, a function, a program or a P&L. If you are applying for your first job or a casual role, we are not the right value for you. A free template will do that job, and we would rather tell you so than take your money.
Because almost everybody else has stopped. Generative AI has made it trivial to produce a resume that reads competently and says nothing. Recruiters now open thirty applications a day that use the same verbs, the same structure and the same weightless achievements.
The screening problem has inverted. Standing out no longer requires being polished — it requires being specific, and being human. A professional resume writer does the one thing a language model cannot: sit with you, ask what actually happened, work out which of your results a hiring panel will care about, and cut everything else.
The detail of how we do it is set out below.
Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane, Perth, Adelaide and Canberra, and nationwide by video. Our team is Australian, exclusively. We are not a marketplace routing your career to the cheapest available bidder overseas.
One tier, one standard. Every resume we write is produced to the same senior level, which is why you will see it listed in our shop as the Executive Resume. There is no cheaper version, because a cheaper version would not be worth your money or our time.
All prices include GST.
If your new resume does not win you an interview within 90 days, we will re-work it free of charge — simply apply for at least 20 roles. Every document we craft is covered by our 100% satisfaction guarantee: we keep refining until you are completely happy.
We have one of Australia’s most experienced and credentialed teams, with levels exceeding that of many at the big 4 consulting firms.
Average years of direct industry experience: 17 years

Many with advanced qualifications including: PhD, MBA, MSc, BA (Hons), CFA, BEng (Hons), MPsych.

Our eagle-eyed team of proofreaders spot even the smallest and most nuanced of grammar and spelling errors.
We test your new CV against some of the most sophisticated resume/CV parsing systems in the industry to ensure the right key skills are identified and that they feed into the AI candidate-matching powerfully.
Straight answers before you spend anything.
What is the difference between a professional resume and an executive resume?
There is no difference in how it is written. Every resume we produce is built by the same senior team, to the same standard. The words ‘professional’ and ‘executive’ describe the roles you are applying for, not two grades of service. If you are applying for senior roles, this is the service you want.
How much does a professional resume writer cost in Australia?
Ours start at $695 for a resume, $787 with a matched cover letter and $985 for the complete package including a LinkedIn™ profile. You will find cheaper. You will not find cheaper from a team where four specialists read your document before you do.
How long does it take?
We begin with a consultation, then build your documents from scratch. A first draft follows shortly afterwards, and we keep revising until you approve the final version. If you are working to a closing date, tell us at the outset and we will work to it.
Will my resume get through ATS screening?
We test every document against some of the most widely used resume parsing systems in the industry, to confirm the right skills are read correctly and feed into candidate matching. Formatting that looks striking but parses badly is the most common reason strong candidates are never seen.
Do you write selection criteria and applications for senior government roles?
Yes. Selection criteria responses and government applications are a distinct discipline and we treat them as one. Responses start at $157 for a one-page criterion, with longer multi-page responses priced by length.
What if I am changing industries?
That is precisely where the consultation earns its keep. Changing sector means your achievements have to be re-framed for a reader who does not share your vocabulary. We work out what transfers, what needs translating, and what to leave out.
Can I move up to the board and C-suite service later?
Yes. If you are heading toward a chief executive appointment or a non-executive directorship, the board-level service adds positioning work built for those appointments. Many clients start here and move up when the roles they are chasing change.
Where are your professional resume writers based?
Australia, exclusively. We work with clients in Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane, Perth, Adelaide and Canberra, and nationwide by video. We are not a marketplace routing your career to the cheapest available bidder overseas.
If you are moving toward a chief executive appointment or a non-executive directorship, our executive and board-level resume service adds the positioning work those appointments demand. If you would rather test the water first, a CV review with an ATS check is $75. Or book a free 15-minute call and we will tell you honestly which one you need.
