🏛️ Government or private sector — which actually suits you?

The two look similar on a job ad. They feel completely different on a Tuesday afternoon. Pace, scrutiny, decision rights, mission, security — all very different.

Our free 5-minute quiz tells you which environment is a better match for how you actually like to work. Useful whether you're considering a move into APS, state government, or out.

Job titles don't tell the full story. A Senior Manager at one company does the work of a Director at another. Our free Career Stage Diagnostic Quiz looks at your actual evidence base — and tells you where you genuinely sit.

Useful before you decide which roles to target so you don't apply too high or too low.

🎤 How do you actually come across in interviews?

Most of us know our answers — fewer of us know our STYLE. Over-explainer? Under-claimer? Strong on theory but weaker on specifics under follow-up questions?

Our free Interview Style Quiz takes 5 minutes and tells you how you tend to present in interviews — and exactly where to adjust before your next one.

🚦 Are you actually job-search ready?

If you've been "thinking about looking" for a few months — this five-minute quiz will tell you which side of ready you're on.

We check the four things that matter: resume, LinkedIn, interview prep, and target clarity. You get an honest score and the gaps to close before you apply.

🎯 Thinking about an executive role?

The jump from senior manager to executive isn't about more years — it's about a different evidence base. Board reporting, capital allocation, public accountability.

Our free Executive Readiness Assessment is a structured self-audit that tells you, honestly, whether you're ready to apply for a C-suite or SES role now — or what to strengthen first.

🧭 Are you in the right kind of role?

Skills can get you shortlisted — but personality decides whether you'll still want the job in a year. Our free Career Personality Test helps you understand the kind of work, team and workplace you actually thrive in.

Useful if you're:
• Considering a career change
• Stuck deciding between two offers
• Wondering why the last role didn't fit

👔 What's your leadership style?

Most of us can describe what we do but struggle to name the leadership style behind it. That gap shows up in resumes, LinkedIn profiles and interviews.

Our free Leadership Style Quiz takes about 5 minutes and tells you which of the major leadership archetypes you lead with — and what that means for how you should present yourself in a job application.

If you're in the middle of a job search right now, this one's for you. 👇
The hardest part of job hunting isn't the qualifications. It's the sheer admin — tracking listings, researching companies, tailoring every resume, drafting cover letters, following up, updating spreadsheets. Most people burn out long before they land the right role.

Perplexity Computer is a new AI agent that handles all of that in the background. Set it up once, and it can monitor job boards every morning, build pre-interview briefings on companies overnight, tailor your resume to specific roles, maintain your application tracker by reading your inbox, and draft personalised networking outreach.

We've put together a full breakdown on The Resume Writers blog — 8 specific workflows, copy-paste prompts you can use today, and an honest look at what the tool costs and where it falls short.

If you (or someone you know) is job hunting in 2026, this is worth a read.

Employer loyalty is dead.

For decades, staying with one company was seen as the safe path to success. Today, it often means slower salary growth, fewer opportunities, and greater risk when businesses inevitably change direction.

The modern job market rewards adaptability, not tenure. The professionals who move, learn, and reposition themselves are the ones who get ahead.

If you’re still equating loyalty with security, it may be time to rethink your strategy.

Employer Loyalty Is Dead A practical look at why long-term commitment to a single employer no longer guarantees security, growth, or fair reward in today’s job market. By Jacquie Liversidge Navigate to: For much of modern employment history, loyalty to an employer was seen as both a virtue and a s...
