At Public Service Resumes, we specialise in creating high-quality, custom-written HR resumes and selection criteria responses that clearly highlight your capabilities. With competition intensifying for roles in recruitment, employee relations, learning and development, and workforce planning, a tailored, professional application is essential to standing out.

If you’re ready to take the next step in your human resources career, our expert writers are here to help you create a resume that gets you noticed.

Why a Career in Human Resources?

Human resources professionals are crucial to the success of any organisation. HR teams are responsible for recruiting the right people, building workplace culture, supporting staff development, and ensuring compliance with policies and legislation.

Common human resources roles include:

HR Advisor or Officer
Recruitment Consultant
Employee Relations Advisor
Learning and Development Specialist
Workforce Planning Analyst
HR Business Partner

Human resources positions in the Australian Public Service (APS), State Government, Local Councils, and private industry offer rewarding career pathways with opportunities for ongoing professional growth.

Why a Strong Human Resources Resume Matters

A human resources resume must reflect your expertise in people management, organisational development, conflict resolution, and compliance. As HR professionals often review job applications themselves, it’s even more critical that your resume meets high standards of structure, clarity, and relevance.

A professionally written resume tailored for human resources roles helps you:

Make a strong first impression with clear, professional formatting
Highlight your skills in recruitment, training, policy development, and employee relations
Showcase your ability to support organisational goals and foster a positive workplace culture
Align your experience with the role’s key requirements and public sector frameworks
Stand out from other candidates with a polished, outcomes-driven career summary

What Makes a Strong Human Resources Resume?

Excellent service. PSR helped me achieve an interview and ultimately the job I went for. Certainly recommended.

After 23 years in the same job, I applied last month for a job that I thought was way out of my reach. I contacted Beejay (thanks for listening to my initial non informative rant and being so nice 😂) as I needed urgent help with my extremely outdated and poor worded CV. Abby was the fabulous one to help me and put together something fabulous to apply with! Against a huge amount of candidates, I ended up getting the job. Cannot recommend them enough ❤️

Thank you for your services with making me a resume. A very special thank you to Berny who, after one phone call was able to capture everything I needed placed into the resume, reorganise the info, sort it all out and produce a professional resume. It is also noteworthy to say that PSR also give a Word.doc version.

Exceptional service received from Beejay and his team. The process from start to finish was prompt and efficient. I was cutting it close with the application deadline but Steve saved the day!

The service from Public Service Resumes is second to none. From the moment you make an enquiry, you will receive outstanding service and personalised attention. The process with the writer was enjoyable and Meaghan was clearly well prepared before our meeting. She had intimate knowledge of my skills and what I was wanting to achieve with the resume service. Add to that, the fact that this company has intimate knowledge of how to write targeted responses, you are on an absolute winner with this company. My husband and I have both used this service and have both made it to the next stage of job applications, thanks to Public Service Resumes. Gold star recommendation.

Great experience dealing with these professionals. The whole process from go was very simplified, introduction phone call and follow up email, payment method, consultation with assigned writer, and final editing of the draft for approval all took place within a specified timeframe in order to meet my application deadline.

Can not recommend their services enough. I have used them twice now and both times I have secured new employment due to the quality of the cover letters written by Public Service Resumes.The process is made easy from the initial call with my writer who sort as much information from me as possible to get a clear understanding of how I meet the application criteria. To the final product. I found that my request for amendments and adjustments was easily received and implemented into the final product.They made the whole process enjoyable on both occasions. I will be using their services for further employment applications.

Jaqueline from Public Service Resumes wrote my resume, selection criteria and cover letter for a mid senior level position with the state government. I was shortlisted for the interview process. Prior to the interview I received coaching from Jaqueline which was very helpful. I received feedback that whilst I wasn't successful in getting the position , I came a close second. I was told I interviewed very strongly and encouraged to keep applying to government positions. Whilst I didn't get the position I was very pleased to be shortlisted to an interview and then receive such positive feedback from the interviewer. Thanks Jaqueline and Beejay for your assistance. The process has been a great boost to my confidence.

The whole experience was fantastic. From initially liaising with Beejay, through to working on my selection criteria with Meaghan the process was extremely professional and service focused. The work had a very quick turnaround time and resulted in an interview. Public Services Resumes helped me update my resume and selection criteria. Well worth the purchase and time.

Jacob Curulli

From the moment I contacted Beejay at Public Service Resumes I was confident that I was in the right hands for a new resume. Kristie was excellent and understood my requirements. She put together a great resume and covering letter within the very short time I had to submit resume and did not disappoint. Highly recommend and will use again. Thanks team.

The Resume Service was exceptional. The writer and the finished product has given me the confidence to apply for positions that are commensurate with my experience. Whilst I knew I was capable, I was not receiving any interview requests. It is early days with my newly minted resume, however I remain very hopeful.Very fast turnaround and worth the money.

Lyn

02:20 18 Mar 23

I am extremely happy with the documents and the quality service provided. I have also forwarded your details onto a number of acquaintances who are also looking at incorporating a service such as yours for future job opportunities that they are applying for?Louise, thank you very much as the results from our continued correspondence via email, phone and messaging was fantastic. I am also looking at one more application response and I am very hopeful that I may be fortunate that you have the time to work with myself again as I believe you have been a credit to the company you work for and also myself in getting a high quality resume professionally tailored to my needs.Thank you

After applying for a number of jobs on my own and not getting anywhere, I thought I’d give Public Service Resumes a go! Prompt professional service, friendly staff and an interview first go! Highly recommend!

Nova Marti

09:45 08 Mar 23

I received exceptional service from Public Service Resumes. I was in a hurry to get my resume updated as there was a job I wanted to apply for that had been advertised a few days before I saw it. I contacted PSR and Beejay was in touch very quickly to set up an interview with Jackey. Jackey was super professional and knew how to put the right content in the resume to have the strongest impact. PSR had indicated a six-day turnaround but I requested the resume as soon as they could provide it. Less than 48 hours after my interview with Jackey I had my resume back and ready to go. I was really happy with how it looked and the content. It's a no-brainer to get a good resume done if you want the job and PSR will deliver the goods.

I had a great experience with the agency! Beejay was very professional, cooperative, quick responsive to me. Ms. Nicole prepared my Resume and Cover letter for one job application. She had two hours of telephone conversation with me, explained the selection criteria points elaborately, collected all the relevant information she needed from me. The final write up was excellent and on time !! I re-ordered for the second cover letter of a different job application just within 48 hours of first order was delivered. The cover letter needed a little addition. Beejay and Nicole worked together to complete the task promply. I was able to submit my second application just two hours before deadline. I certainly go back to them for further services.

I greatly appreciate their professionalism, help and understanding. I am pleased with the product they provided and am greatful they were open to my request for some edits, even after I said that I am happy with the product they initially provided. I definitely would recommend Public Service Resumes.

TKY

Public Service Resumes helped me to write selection criteria for a local council job and how to prepare for interviews. Ellen helped me about my selection criteria, she was so detailed and patient. I received the draft on time. Only one minor change needed to be updated to finalize my selection criteria. Tina helped me with my interview. She was so experienced. In the training session, I can clearly know how to prepare my answers in an interview. I highly recommend Public Service Resumes.

Fabulous service from the responsive first phone call from Beejay through to a super quick completion time. Thanks so much to Beejay and my writer Lisa. I needed this resume quite quickly and for this to be done in less than a week was outstanding. Usually Xmas New Year is really difficult because businesses shut down but not these amazing people! I am applying with confidence as this resume is beyond anything I could have created.

Nat Davies-Latta

23:10 03 Jan 23

I just wanted to post a quick thank you to Beejay, Sarah and all the team at public service resumes. The service was quick, professional and friendly and the end result was far better than anything I would have produced on my own. I would highly recommend this service to anyone in need of an updated modern day resume and excellently written criteria.

I have used the services of Beejay and Kylie a number of times over the past two years!The service and quality of work I have received is nothing short of sensational.Beejay is always prompt with requests and take the effort to understand the requirements prior to quoting.Kylie takes the time to understand you, your experience and turns that’s into written responses that’s shine you in a light you would not yourself, but always ensuring they are an accurate statement of what you have actually achieved.Government applications are extremely complex, and you are always going up against hundreds of applicants…. But with the help of Beejay and Kylie you are guaranteed to always standout!

I engaged Public Service Resumes to do a last minute application. My writer, Marwa, was super quick to digest the information in the job ad, took the time for a phone call to discuss the response (2x 500 word responses) and provided a set of responses that was spot on! I scored the interview.In addition, their customer service representative, Bee Jay, was very friendly, helpful and quick to respond.I highly recommend Public Service Resumes.

Jasmin Towers

If you want the job... use this service, the best service without a doubt. If you think you are prepared for an interview, you wont be, TINA is fantastic at teaching you what to say, how to say it and how to add context to your responses. I had the panel responding with 'great answer', 'strong response', 'wow, best answer to that question we have had'. I was anxious, not confident, had no idea, but spent time with PUBLIC SERVICE RESUMES worked through all government criteria and I had the best responses prepared, no trying to work it out on the day. PREPARE. Use this service, you will not regret it. If I could give 10 stars I would have left 10 stars. AND.... I got the job.

Cindy Patmore

I had an excellent experience with public service resumes. The first contact was very prompt and professional. I received a phone call where Beejay thoroughly explained the process. I was then referred to Meaghan as my writer and she was very good. She gathered information from me over a one hour phone call and I must admit I wasn't very helpful as I am not good with the whole cv thing. She was patient and pulled out enough info from me to write an amazing resume and CV. Honestly it's the best cv I've ever read. If I was reading this on a selection panel I would give myself an interview after reading the first paragraph.Thanks again Beejan and Meaghan, you guys do a great job.Milan.

Just had a fantastic experience with this team! Very attentive, responsive from the get go, and absolute professionalism through the entire process. The admin, customer service and writing services are exemplary. Having not used this type of service previously, I must confess to my initial apprehension, however it wasnt long before I became very comfortable and confidant that this this service was for me. This was mainly due to immediately efficient and fantastic customer attention. The team transformed what was a duanting task in preparing my resume and statement of claims for a job application, to an effortless no stress exercise. Sally, my appointed writer contacted my within hours, and was all over it after a great conversation, and had the completed documents back to me within a few days. As a result of this service I was able to showcase my skills and experience against the position and submit a very strong application. Well done team! You definately have my continued custom when needed. Cheers!
