Your resume is your first and often only impression with employers. Yet most job applicants don’t realize that resumes face two audiences before a human ever calls for an interview: automated systems called Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS) that filter candidates before humans ever see applications, and busy recruiters who spend 6-7 seconds scanning your resume for reasons to interview you. Fail either test and you’re rejected before anyone reads your qualifications or achievements. Your experience never gets considered.
Academic Writing Guidance provides professional resume writing that gets results. Our writers understand ATS optimisation, recruiter psychology, industry-specific keywords, and how hiring managers actually evaluate candidates. We translate your experience into achievement-focused language that employers respond to. Every resume is customised to your target industry, role level, and specific opportunities. The result is a resume that bypasses ATS filters, captures recruiter attention, and lands you interviews.

1. ATS-Optimised, Not Just Pretty
Many resume services focus on aesthetics and design at the expense of functionality. Our resumes are both: professionally designed AND optimised with the keywords and formatting ATS systems actually scan for. You’re not rejected by robots before humans ever get your application. We understand how ATS systems work and ensure your resume gets through them.
2. Recruiter Psychology Understanding
We don’t just list your experience in order. We understand what recruiters are looking for, what catches their attention in 6-7 seconds, and how to position you as exactly what they need. Your resume speaks to employer needs, uses achievement language recruiters respond to, and makes hiring managers want to call you. We position you strategically for what employers are seeking.
3. Industry-Specific Expertise
A software engineer’s resume should be fundamentally different from a marketing manager’s resume, which should be different from an accountant’s resume. We customise every resume to your specific industry, role level, company type, and target opportunities, not using generic templates. Your resume speaks your industry’s language.
Professional resume writing starts at £79.99 for a standard CV. Executive-level resumes, comprehensive career transitions, or extensive customisation for multiple industries cost more. Most clients find the cost recovers itself with one successful job placement. Investing in a professional resume usually pays for itself many times over.
Yes, but you'll want to customize it for each role. We create a master resume, then customize it for specific job applications, tweaking keywords, emphasising relevant experience, and adjusting professional
summary to match each opportunity. This targeted approach is significantly more effective than submitting identical resumes to all positions.
Most resumes are completed within 5-7 business days. Urgent resumes (3-day turnaround) are available at premium rates. Rush resumes (24-hour turnaround) are available for additional cost. Discuss your timeline during enquiry.
Resumes are typically 1-2 pages focused on achievements directly relevant to a specific job. CVs are longer (2-5 pages), include comprehensive education, publications, research, and are common in academic, research, and international contexts. We create either format depending on your need and target positions.
A professionally written resume optimised for keywords and achievement language significantly increases recruiter attention. Combined with ATS optimisation, you'll receive more recruiter outreach and interview calls. Results vary by industry and experience level, but professional writing dramatically improves your chances.
Yes! We offer separate LinkedIn profile writing and optimisation service. Many clients combine resume writing with LinkedIn optimisation for a comprehensive professional branding package. Ask us about bundled services.
