Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about our resume writing service, the Singapore job market, cover letters, and career transitions.

Resume Writing Service

How much does a professional resume rewrite cost in Singapore?
Our packages range from S$85 for the Essential CV to S$175 for the Complete Package (CV, cover letter and LinkedIn profile). CV + Cover Letter and CV + LinkedIn are S$130 each. Add-ons include Personal Coaching (S$150), Target Company Research (S$100) and Career Guidance (S$80). Full pricing is on our pricing page.
How long does it take to receive my resume?
Delivery is 3–5 business days for the Essential CV and CV + Cover Letter, 5–7 business days for CV + LinkedIn, and 7–10 business days for the Complete Package, from the point we receive your completed intake form. If you need it faster, message us on WhatsApp and we will do our best to accommodate.
What do I need to provide to get started?
Just your existing resume — even if it is outdated — and a clear idea of the roles you are targeting. We send you a short intake form that covers everything else we need to write a strong, tailored resume.
How do I pay for the service?
We accept PayNow, PayLah!, and direct bank transfer. Payment details are provided after you confirm your package via WhatsApp. We do not collect payment until you have reviewed and agreed to the scope of work.
Do you offer a refund if I am not satisfied with my resume?
Yes. Every package is backed by a 30-day money-back guarantee, and CV packages include 2 revision rounds within 30 days. If you are not satisfied after your revisions, message us on WhatsApp and we will resolve it without hassle.

The Singapore Job Market

Should I include a photo on my Singapore resume?
No. Singapore employers do not expect a photo, and most ATS systems cannot process them. Including one wastes space and can raise bias concerns at multi-national companies. Leave it out.
Which job portals should I use to find jobs in Singapore?
MyCareersFuture (government-backed, strong for local roles), LinkedIn (essential for white-collar and MNC positions), JobStreet (broad coverage, popular with SMEs), and Glints (strong for tech and startup roles). Prioritise MyCareersFuture if you are a Singapore citizen or PR — some employers list exclusively there to meet fair consideration requirements.
Can I use your service if I live outside Singapore?
Yes. We work with clients based anywhere in the world, provided they are applying for jobs in Singapore or the ASEAN region. Everything is handled remotely via WhatsApp and email.

Cover Letters & LinkedIn

Do you write cover letters as a standalone service?
Yes. You can order a cover letter without a resume package. We write it to match the specific role and company you are targeting, using the same language and positioning that gets past initial screening. Message us on WhatsApp to get started.
Can you rewrite my LinkedIn profile without a full resume package?
Yes. LinkedIn optimisation is available as a standalone service. We rewrite your headline, summary, and experience sections to improve search visibility and attract recruiter attention — without you needing to order a full resume package.
Should my cover letter repeat what is already in my resume?
No. A cover letter should add context, not duplicate content. Use it to explain why you want this specific role at this specific company, how your background addresses their actual problem, and what you bring that the resume alone cannot convey. If your cover letter reads like a summary of your resume, rewrite it.

Career Switching & Salary Negotiation

I am switching industries — can you rewrite my resume for a new field?
Yes. Any of our CV packages can be written for a career switch. We reframe your transferable skills, adjust the language for your target industry, and reposition your experience so hiring managers see the value — not the mismatch.
How do I explain a career gap on a Singapore resume?
Be brief and factual. Employers care less about the gap itself than about what you did during it and whether you are ready to contribute now. If the gap involved caregiving, freelance work, upskilling, or health recovery, state it plainly in one line. Never fabricate dates. A strong resume that follows the gap matters more than the explanation of it.
When should I bring up salary in a Singapore job interview?
Wait until the employer raises it, or until you have an offer. If asked for your expected salary early, give a researched range based on MOM salary data and your target role level. Never anchor too low — it sets the ceiling for any negotiation.
