Resume Writer

This sounds too good to be true. What’s the catch?

There is no catch. In fact, if you find a catch, please contact us to let us know. We hate dodgy crap as much as you do. We guarantee no hidden fees, and absolutely no surprises. The last thing you need when you are job hunting are sneaky costs being charged to your credit card, and being locked into stuff you don’t need.

We won’t ask for your credit card details until you are happy with our products and services, and ready to purchase the upgrade to the Professional Package. We promise.

What is the goal of having a good resume?

Our goal in providing you with all of the tools, tips and templates you need to create an awesome resume is to make you confident to get it out there, proud of what you have achieved so far, and make you stand out so you get an interview.

So many talented people just can’t articulate their skills and experience concisely into a resume. We think this is unfair and quite frankly ridiculous. We are excited to offer everyone the opportunity to present themselves well on paper and give themselves the best chance at getting an interview for a role they want.

Do I have to pay to download a resume?

Nope. We know times are tough (especially for job seekers) and we believe everyone should have access to help and be able to create an awesome resume.

We have two pricing options – one is completely free, and the other is a small payment for 3 months unlimited access:

1. You can choose from one of our free templates, use our RecruitableHub Resume Writer form to input all the information you need to include, and download it as a pdf ready to go.

What format can I download a resume in?

You can download a free RecruitableHub resume in pdf and resume’s built with our Professional Package in pdf.

What if I want to make changes to my resume and have different versions while job hunting?

We provide of our members with a personalised dashboard where you can store all of your resumes and cover letters, edit them when you need to and download them as many times as you like. If you are using our free version, you can access, edit, download and upgrade at any time. If you are paying $97 for the Professional Package to use our more stylised templates and access our prewritten gems of text, you have 3 months in which to edit, change, add to, recreate, tailor, delete and download as many times as you need to.

What if I am still job-hunting after 3 months and need access to edit, tailor, and download more resumes to apply for new roles?

You can just pay another $97 (including GST) for an additional 3 months’ access to your dashboard.

Why is your Professional Package for 3 months?

Simply because we believe it won’t take more than 3 months using our products and services to land a role.

What if I haven’t logged on for a few years and then want to use your services again to go for a new job or a promotion?

You are always welcome back! As long as you use the same email address (you can reset your password at any time - we can’t remember ours after a few months let alone years), you will gain access to your original dashboard with all of your past resumes and cover letters for you to edit, tailor, add to and change.

Why would I pay $97 rather than just using your already awesome free templates?

The answer to that question is ‘your circumstances’. If you can’t afford to pay for a professional resume, or if you write quite well and just need some direction, you would be mad to pay anyone anything including us.

Our free option is excellent. We guarantee that even if you choose our free templates and use our form to autofill all the information an employer needs to see, your resume will be better than 90% of your competitors.

However, if you want to really stand out for a role you think lots of people will apply for, perhaps it would be worth your while to pay the $97 and upgrade to a more eye-catching template.

Or if you are not quite sure what to write in your resume, and want to use pre-written Professional Summaries, literally just choose from a list of common Responsibilities, get some ideas on what Achievements you should include, and be able to download in Microsoft Word as well as pdf, then it might be worth upgrading to our Professional Package to make your life easier.

What if I just don’t trust myself and still need someone to check it?

You can ask an expert to critique it and give you feedback to make it as good as it can be but we don’t think you will need to. We trust that you will be able to create something you are really proud of all by yourself.

Cover Letter Writer

Do I really need a Cover Letter? This seems very 1980’s.

Yes. You do. And it needs to be good.

Doesn’t the Cover Letter just rehash what is in my Resume?

Your cover letter should be a personal letter to the person who is managing the hiring process. This is likely the person who will interview you, so it is important to treat this as your introduction to the decision-maker. Your cover letter needs to highlight what is in your resume, specifically the experience that is important to the role you are applying for, and it needs to stand on its own.

We view cover letters as a way of illustrating the strengths and skills you need for the particular role you are applying for. If they want someone who is an excellent communicator, prove you are by writing an excellent cover letter. If you sense they are after someone warm and with a sense of humour, let that shine through in your writing. If they require someone who is creative and displays initiative, this is your chance to shine. Don’t waste the opportunity to create a fabulous cover letter and express some personality. We promise it can be the difference between getting an interview and not.

Doesn’t using your RecruitableHub Cover Letter Writer just create a templated cover letter that anyone could use?

We provide you with a professional template and a professional layout so you don’t miss any important information. We also include heaps of examples, tips and tricks for you to create your own outstanding and individual correspondence to a potential employer. You will need to write some of this yourself. We do not provide an automatically generated template for you to download and send off. Templates don’t get callbacks.

We recommend you take a breath and let yourself shine with our full support and a heap of suggestions and examples to fall back on if you get stuck.

What if I already have a resume but want to do a Cover Letter through RecruitableHub?

No problem! You will need to purchase our Professional Package for $97, and then you can just choose a template and use our advice and suggestions to write an awesome Cover Letter.

What if I need more than one Cover Letter because I am applying for more than one job?

You will definitely need a different tailored cover letter for each role you apply for.

Once you purchase our Professional Package for $97, you will have unlimited access to our Resume Writer and Cover Letter Writer for a 3 month period.

We provide all of our professional members with a personalised dashboard where you can store all of your resumes and cover letters, edit them when you need to and download them as many times as you like over a 3 month period.

What format can I download my Cover Letters in?

You can download your RecruitableHub Cover Letter in PDF.

What if I am still job-hunting after 3 months and need access to edit, tailor and download more Cover Letters to apply for new roles?

You can just pay another $97 (including GST) for an additional 3 months’ access to your dashboard.

Why is your Professional Package for 3 months?

Simply because we believe it won’t take more than 3 months using our products and services to land a role.

What if I haven’t logged on for a few years and then want to use your services again to go for a new job or a promotion?

You are always welcome back! As long as you use the same email address (you can reset your password at any time), you will gain access to your original dashboard with all of your past resumes and cover letters for you to edit, tailor, add to and change.

What if I just don’t trust myself and still need someone to check it?
