11.7. For Candidates:

11.7.1 Service Level Agreement Our standard turnaround time is two business days from the day of your consultation call – NOT from the day of order. We do not start work on new projects until your consultation call has taken place. Providing your project is activated by 5 pm (Monday – Friday) you will be assigned a writer on the same business day. Your writer will contact you via contact details you provide to arrange a mutually beneficial time and
schedule your consultation call. This will typically be the following business day providing you are available. If you are unavailable, this will lead to a delay in delivering your first drafts. Revisions are completed within two business days of your requesting them. We cannot be held responsible for missed application deadlines, each client is unique and the amount of time required to complete the documents to perfection varies from client to client. We recommend engaging our services a MINIMUM of 5 business days before application deadlines. No refunds will be given for missed deadlines.

11.7.2 Our LinkedIn Profile Writing service involves the provision of a document file containing a full write-up of the various sections of a LinkedIn Profile that may be easily copied and pasted into a live profile. We do not undertake to directly log in to or create profiles on behalf of our clients – this is a security measure to ensure the safety of your personal information and confidentiality of your login credentials.

11.7.3 Packages containing resumes are limited to a maximum of three pages. For the vast majority of professions, a resume should NEVER exceed three pages regardless of the amount of work experience, and it is our professional advice to keep the document to this as an absolute maximum. If you require a longer resume, we class this as an academic CV (usually utilised for lawyers, medical practitioners, etc.) and you will be required to pay the difference between a standard resume rate and an academic CV.

11.7.4 Our writers work on multiple projects and with numerous clients. To ensure the integrity of the project is maintained throughout its lifecycle, phone consultations must be scheduled with you at specific times to ensure all components of the scope of the project is established, and both parties are in agreeance with the scope of works. Phone consultations typically last no longer than 30 minutes, depending on how much information you provide within your existing resume. Subsequent phone calls are at the discretion of your writer and are subject to their availability. If you would like an extended conversation or multiple phone consultations, this service must be purchased separately at a rate of AU$60 p/h.
