SEEK is Australia's largest job board, and getting your resume right for it is the difference between interviews and silence. Here's how to write a SEEK resume that gets seen.
Match the job ad's keywords
SEEK and the employer's ATS both score your CV against the role's keywords. Read the ad carefully and weave its key skills and phrases into your Key Skills and Work Experience sections — honestly, never by stuffing.
PDF or DOCX on SEEK?
Both are accepted. A clean DOCX is the safest for ATS parsing; PDF is fine if it's text-based (not a scanned image). Avoid fancy templates that break parsing.
Keep your SEEK Profile current
Recruiters search SEEK Profiles directly. Fill out your headline, skills, and work history with the same keywords as your CV so you appear in their searches.
Australian format still applies
Two to three pages, A4, Australian English, and a referees section with full contact details. See our complete Australian resume format guide.
