Posted by Shepparton Resume on 22 Dec 2025

For instance, if you have gaps in your employment history or lack of experience in a specific field You can provide a reason the reason why this doesn’t matter and explain how your other credentials make more up for it.
  • Making you stand out A well-written and professional cover letter can make you stand out among other applicants.

I was amazed how quickly and efficiently my request was making progress during COVID lockdown. First I made a contact in the chat where we had a short conversation. Then Tanja and Gemma from Shepparton Resume contacted me over the phone where we discussed the particulars. I am good in my specialty, but writing resumes is not my strongest skill. As a result I got the resume and the cover letter reworked really well. I believe my chances of getting a good job got way better now than before.
