FREE RESUME GUIDE
Stop Losing Interviews to Simple Resume Mistakes...
The 5 Resume mistakes Australian professionals make most, and the fixes that get you noticed again with this free guide
This free resume guide goes beyond naming the 5 common resume mistakes Australian professionals make, it shows you why resumes don't get interviews in the first place, and exactly what to do differently.
You'll learn how to structure a resume for the Australian job market, how to write a professional summary that gets read instead of skipped, and how to turn your experience into achievement-focused bullet points rather than a plain list of duties.
"After applying to 20+ job ads with no replies, I made 2 simple changes from this FREE guide and booked 3 interviews in 7 days.”
– Sarah M.
“It’s super clear and easy. Way better than trying to rewrite everything from scratch.”

What's Inside the Guide
Beyond the five mistakes, the guide walks through how a resume should actually be structured for the Australian market, including how to write a professional summary that gets read and how to turn your experience into achievement-focused bullet points rather than a list of duties.
You'll also find guidance on tailoring each application to the specific job ad, adding the keywords that get your resume through applicant tracking systems, and formatting it so it reads cleanly on screen.
A final checklist covers the details people often miss, proofreading, referees, qualifications, licences, and work rights, so nothing costs you an interview for the wrong reason.
About the Author of this Free Resume Guide
I am Rushdi Kirsten, a career coach based in Perth. I help Australian professionals who are qualified and experienced but not getting the response they deserve from the market, so they can move from being overlooked to being shortlisted.
I have more than ten years of experience helping Australians secure meaningful roles and have worked with job seekers across many industries, from administration and support through to information technology and executive-level professionals.
Over the years, I have reviewed hundreds of resumes, rewritten them with impact, and coached clients through successful career transitions. Many of them have gone on to land interviews and offers with leading Australian companies.
This guide is a condensed version of the exact advice I share with my coaching clients.
You can learn more about my coaching work and read client reviews on my main site, rkgrowcoaching.com.au

Got Questions About the Free Resume Guide?
What exactly will I get in the PDF?
You'll get a short, practical guide covering the five resume mistakes costing Australian professionals interviews right now, and the exact fix for each one. That includes weak opening lines, formatting recruiters skip past, and generic wording like "team player" that makes strong candidates sound interchangeable with everyone else.
Is this really free?
Completely free, no credit card and no catch. Enter your name and email, and the PDF lands in your inbox within minutes. You'll also get occasional career tips, and you can unsubscribe with one click any time, no pressure to buy anything to access the guide.
Who is this guide for?
Australian professionals who are applying for roles and hearing nothing back, especially if your resume hasn't been touched in a while. If you know your experience is solid but the response isn't matching it, this guide shows you exactly where your resume is quietly working against you, and how to fix it.
How do I receive the guide?
It arrives in your inbox straight after you sign up, usually within a minute or two. If you don't see it, check your spam or promotions folder first, since that's the most common reason people miss it. Still nothing after five minutes, reach out and we'll sort it directly.
Will this actually help me get more interviews?
Fixing even one of these mistakes has helped clients get shortlisted faster, and most people can apply all five in under fifteen minutes. It's built from the same fixes used with paying coaching clients, condensed into something practical you can act on today, not another guide you skim and forget.
Is this guide connected to the free strategy call?
No, the guide stands on its own and there's no obligation to book anything. If you want a second set of eyes on your own resume specifically, the free 30-minute strategy call is there as an optional next step, but downloading the guide doesn't commit you to it either way.
Does the guide cover more than just the 5 mistakes?
Yes. Beyond the five mistakes, it covers how to structure a resume for the Australian market, write a summary that gets read, and turn experience into achievement-focused bullets. It also covers tailoring to job ads, adding ATS-friendly keywords, and a final checklist covering proofreading, referees, qualifications, licences, and work rights.
