Is this right for you?

Our forestry CV writing service is for you if any of these sound familiar.

Your CV undersells the results you've delivered

You've hit harvest targets, improved productivity and kept crews safe in demanding conditions - but your CV reads like a job description rather than a track record.

You're stepping up from crew leader or supervisor to forest or operations manager

From leading a crew to managing estates, contractors and budgets - your CV needs to bridge the gap between hands-on supervision and operational leadership.

You're moving between harvesting, forest management and wood processing

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

FAQs

Frequently asked questions.

Do your CV writers have experience in forestry?

Yes. Since 2011 we've grown our team to 65 specialist CV writers working across 72+ industries, and we've enhanced more than 60,000 careers across over 920 professions. We match you with the forestry specialist with the most relevant experience for your role.

How long does it take?

Your first draft is delivered within 3 business days of your consultation call, which is usually scheduled for the next business day after you book. Express 1 and 2 business day turnarounds are also available.

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.
