Is this right for you?

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

Your CV undersells the output you've delivered

You've lifted OEE, cut downtime and kept lines running safely - but your CV reads like a job description rather than a track record.

You're stepping up from supervisor to production or plant manager

From leading a shift to running a site - and your CV needs to bridge the gap between hands-on supervision and operational leadership.

You're moving between food and beverage, process and advanced manufacturing

Your experience spans different products and processes. Your CV needs to position that breadth as a strength, not a split focus.

Not sure if this is the right fit? Submit your CV for a free review and a specialist will tell you honestly what needs to change and which service, if any, makes sense for you. Start with a free review

FAQs

Frequently asked questions.

Do your CV writers have experience in manufacturing?

Yes. Since 2011 we've grown our team to 65 specialist CV writers working across 72+ industries, and we've written more than 60,000 CVs for over 920 professions. We match you with the manufacturing 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.
