Q. Why should I use Bluegum Resumes instead of writing my own resume?
Resume writing and positioning yourself as the ideal candidate for the job you want can be challenging. You may be the best in the business or in your field but writing isn’t one of your core strengths. Or you’re not sure how to match your unique qualifications to specific requirements in the job description. This shouldn’t prevent you from getting the job you want and deserve.
We’ve been writing professional resumes for over 15 years with a strong track record of helping our clients win their dream jobs. The market is more competitive than ever. To get noticed in the recruitment process you need to standout. We can help you do that.

Q. What are the turnaround times for a standard resume?
The turnaround time for a standard resume is around 2-3 days after an initial phone interview. However, if you need help with a resume urgently, we can speed up the timeline for a standard rush fee.
Q. How many rounds of edits do you make to my resume? How long does it take?

Q. What industries do you specialise in? Can you still help me if my industry is not on your list of specialities?
Our key areas of expertise include:
- Construction and trades
- Property and real estate
- Engineering and technical
- Government and defence
- Business and administration

Importantly, the principles of a great resume are essentially the same across most industries. We back ourselves to help anyone from any industry, bu we only ever take on work that we can deliver well.
Q. Do I need a cover letter and a LinkedIn profile?
Cover letters are still a powerful way to connect with recruiters and tell your story. They give you an extra opportunity to explain why you are the right person for the job and share your personal achievements in a less formal structure than a resume. Although some may argue cover letters are becoming a dated part of the process, most jobs still require you to submit one. If you fail to meet this requirement, you are often immediately discounted as a potential candidate for the job.
LinkedIn profiles are also increasingly important in today’s job market. Most recruiters these days look at your digital profile when you apply for a job to see what your online presence is and how you present yourself. We can help you put together a strong, professional and relevant LinkedIn profile so you don’t get left behind.
Q. How does the process work? How much interaction do I have with the writers? Do I speak to them on the phone or over email?
Communication with your writer is done via email and/or over the phone. This usually takes place with one initial phone interview to discuss your requirements followed by email communication to edit and finalise your documents.
There are three key steps to the process.
1. Book an appointment with a resume writer
2. Work with your writer to develop your resume
3. Get a great new resume tailored to your needs.
