3 ways to ensure perfect job applications
Have you been applying for jobs but hearing nothing back? Do others seem to have 'all the luck' but you seem to have none? Now, it may be because you need to redesign your resume so that it can get past Applicant Tracking Systems. But what if you have already taken care of this?
After coaching people for many years we have found 3 key areas where people make mistakes with their job applications which can ultimately stop them getting shortlisted for interviews. If you get these right, you are going to vastly improve your results.
1 TARGET YOUR RESUME
In addition to being ATS friendly, your resume needs to be tailored for each individual role
2 WRITE A GREAT COVER LETTER
Your cover letter needs to sell you without including everything from your resume.
3 FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS
Always give them what they want - ignoring this could cost you the opportunity.

What our coaching clients say...
Phone calls from most applications I make...
My old resume seemed dated and wasn't getting any job follow up from employers. Didn't seem to work for me. Since I had my resume updated, I get a phone call from most applications I make. I have already recommended you several times to other people I know within the construction and mining industries. I can't fault your service

Results increased dramatically...
My results have increased dramatically, and I would say on average out of every 5 positions that I apply for, I receive responses back on 2-3 positions which are awesome results. I have handed your details out to basically my whole work crew.
