Is this right for you?

Our agriculture and primary industries CV writing service is for you if any of these sound familiar.

Your CV undersells the results you've delivered

You've lifted production, grown yields and managed staff, budgets and compliance through every season - but your CV reads like a job description rather than a track record.

You're stepping up from the farm or orchard to management or agribusiness

From running the day-to-day on the ground to leading a business, a team or a rural services portfolio - your CV needs to bridge hands-on work and commercial leadership.

You're moving between dairy, horticulture, processing and agribusiness

Your experience spans different parts of the primary industries. Your CV needs to position that breadth as a strength, not a split focus.

Who will be working on my CV, and how do we communicate?

A specialist consultant from our team of New Zealand job market specialists works with you from start to finish. It starts with a one-to-one consultation by phone or Zoom, typically around an hour. After that you can reach your consultant by phone, Zoom or online chat in your account.

Will my CV get past applicant tracking systems (ATS)?

Yes. Most employers and job boards use ATS software to filter applications, and most applications are filtered by these systems before a recruiter sees them. Every CV we write is ATS-optimised with the keywords and formatting your target roles are screened for.

Can I request revisions?

Yes. Revisions are unlimited. Your consultant delivers requested changes by 5pm the following business day, and we keep going until your CV is exactly right.
