Frequently Asked Questions

You’ll find answers to many of your questions below, but if you have any further questions about resumes for the mining industry or how you can work with us, please use the contact form below to get in touch.

Why should I work with a Resume Writer?

A Resume Writer tailors your resume, highlights your achievements and shows the value you can bring to a potential employer. I know it’s hard to sell yourself and you don’t like to brag. A Resume Writer can provide an objective perspective. If your resume looks professional, the potential employer can see you have invested time and money into it, and as a first impression it means you’re serious about the job.

Why should I use Ruby Resumes?

I understand the mining market, having worked as a successful Recruiter in the mining industry. Working with Ruby Resumes is a collaborative approach. You have direct access to me. I am approachable and prompt with replies. You’re provided with multiple edits. I genuinely care about your career and want to see you succeed.

How long does the initial phone consult take?

Please allow about 30 minutes for your initial phone consult, and make sure you are in a quiet place, away from distractions. I want to make sure I have all the information from you to present you at your absolute best.

Why do I need to have the phone consult?

I know you’re busy, so I extract as much information as possible in the one phone call. Information between emails can get lost and misinterpreted, so this is the most efficient way for both of us. Think of it as practice for your upcoming interviews.

Do you work with people looking to get in the mining industry?

Who owns the resume and cover letter once it has been completed?

You have complete ownership of those documents.

Do I really need a LinkedIn Profile?

It’s totally up to you. It’s a free tool to help you achieve your career goals. Having a professional, up to date LinkedIn profile can enhance your industry reputation, provide you with industry insights, and professional development opportunities. Recruiters are actively looking for candidates on LinkedIn and there are opportunities to apply direct for jobs that are advertised. Did you know you can adjust your settings if you’re currently employed and don’t want your current employer to see that you’re actively seeking new opportunities?

You’ve updated my resume previously, but I’d like it to be tailored to another job, can you help?

Yes, I would love to work with you again. Please contact me for further information.
