Susan has a wonderful ability to listen and absorb information. I found her most personable and inspiring to be with and a complete powerhouse of energy and enthusiasm. She became so much more than just a consultant… if anything I could easily say she was practically a mentor whilst trying to find my way into a new industry and job role…many thanks Susan
Dee Bendo is the best in her class – I hired Dee to design my resume, cover letter, and LinkedIn profile. Dee is a very talented coach, resume writer and LinkedIn guru. She understands the importance of fully utilizing both paper and online personal branding strategies, which can send a clear, consistent message about who you really are and what your true qualities are. She took the time to find out about my career goals and utilized that information to chart a clear pathway to achieve the desired goal. She made me realise how significant all my professional achievements are and seeing it all presented in a professionally designed document made me feel even more comfortable approaching any employer. Working with her has been a fantastic experience!
“Thank you again for your expertise with my CV. It was so much easier applying for jobs with my CV professionally done, and your advice about adapting it to the ad was invaluable.
I got an interview, studied for it, and was offered the job!
Thank you so much Lucy, I couldn’t have done it without you.”
S.B, Radiographer / Health Sector
Both documents look really good, definitely reads a lot better than anything I could have ever written on my own. I don’t see anything that needs changing in the letter, all looks fabulous.
I am just emailing you to let you know I was successful in my application… Thank you so much for your help with my resume, I truly believe without your help I would not have even got an interview.
Wow absolutely fantastic! I found your personal approach to be very professional and caring. My resume has never looked so good and this has given me lots of confidence. I would like to thank you for her brilliant work and would, without any doubt recommend Successful Resumes Adelaide to anyone.
Lincoln, Adelaide
Thank you again for all your help. I really appreciate it. I didn’t realise my strengths and skills until it was identified on paper by you. I will certainly be recommending you to friends.
Good Morning Martin, (We) would like to say a massive THANK YOU!! The resume you provided has resulted in our dream job, not only that, he has been contacted by several other companies about work – amazing!! One employer even commented on how great the resume was and that it was stand out within a big group of applicants. Totally worth every dollar, a great investment in our future!! We have recommended you to a friend and will continue to do so with absolute confidence. So thank you again.
Success! I won my position in the Graduate Program! I just wanted to thank you again for the very professional resume you completed for me a few months ago now. I really appreciate all the work and creativity you put into the resume which secured me the interview and gave me confidence to get the job.
Your professional ability to assess and document my personal profile, skills, and experience in my resume together with her empowering and motivating personality, contributed to my securing a new sales role.
Michele is very easy to work with and has a well-honed ability to highlight your skills and experience in such a way that is concise and tailored perfectly for the jobs you are applying for. I never would have thought to present my resume like she did and am extremely pleased with the result. Thanks, Michele!

Successful Resumes recently developed my board CV and bio. The writer I worked with in Adelaide focused on genuine engagement and learning through listening. She quickly identified my style and values and developed a product that is authentically me. I am very happy with the quality and professionalism of the final products and consider the investment great value for money.
Cindy, Adelaide
Wow, what a change. I knew my old resume was outdated but this is night and day. You did a brilliant job of distilling everything we talked about into a hard-hitting snapshot of who I am and the experience I bring to the table. I’m so pleased Mark passed on your details.
Chief Financial Officer, Sydney
Thanks heaps Phil – you opened the door for me – hopefully I can take the next step
Thank you Peter for assistance in developing a new resume for me to begin the transition from hospitality into community support services. I am so pleased to inform you that your work sparked their interest in me. I was offered a position. I would like to thank you from the depths of my heart for sharing your knowledge, skill and for showing such professionalism.
My new resume helped me get my foot in the mining door without having any mates or contacts in this sector…….I now have a great job in WA fly-in fly-out and also work in China for my employer’s business partner. I have since recommended this service to several of my mates because my employer said it was one of the best resumes he had seen
There is no way I could have presented my resume like this – absolutely fantastic
Nicole was great Skype was simple and easy and she got me what I needed, thank you.
I felt comfortable talking to Chris to explain what I was after. Chris worked over the long weekend to provide a resume, well worded answers to key competencies questions and a cover letter. Not only were these provided over the long weekend but Chris kept in regular contact, asking questions to ensure the resume represented me honestly and in a manner that I was comfortable with… The result of Chris’s work and final products was that I was offered an interview and ultimately the job. This is amazing as a year ago I had sent my previous resume for various jobs and received no response… Not only did Chris improve my resume – ultimately I believe his work got me the interview to the job I wanted.
Thank you for capturing who I am as a person and what I have achieved in the past 12 years as an arborist. You knew exactly how to talk about my skills so that I could make a career change so much faster and easier than I ever thought possible. I’m so appreciative!
Dayton, Adelaide
Just wanted to let you know I got the interview! Thank you so much for your help with my resume. I really feel good about it now. Thank you also for creating a document that is so user friendly, I can even update it in the future!
Nicole was extremely warm, efficient and professional. I have already highly recommended Nicole to others, she took my documents rebadged them and produced outstanding results.
I have been thoroughly impressed with the quality and well put together Resume document that Elisa of ‘Successful Résumés’ has compiled for me. The resume has given me the confidence to go forward with my aspirations to get a permanent management position within my organisation, and am positive I can show myself to be the person described in the words put together as I am that person, I was just not able to express them as eloquently as Elisa has.
From the discussion over the phone (as I am across country from Elisa), where I was made to feel relaxed and that Elisa was listening to my words to get the best of who I was through her questioning, to the subsequent emails and the final product I couldn’t be happier.
Wow! This is absolutely amazing Dee! Thank you for creating such powerful documents for both my son and I. We are both very proud of our resumes and have received excellent feedback already.
Thanks heaps for writing my resume! I submitted it and had a job offer within 3 days!
Thank you, thank you, and thank you! I have successfully secured a place with Metro South. The feedback I received from the panel members was great; they have never seen a resume like mine! I felt so proud of it – all thanks to you Dee! All my friends will contact you soon!
“I just wanted to update you regarding the Business Traineeship I applied for with the cover letter you helped me with! I’ve secured an interview and I’m very happy (and nervous).
It definitely wouldn’t have been possible without your help so thank you so much.
Even if I don’t end up with the position, just knowing that I’m even capable of getting the opportunity has made such a difference to my employment confidence! Huge thanks”
S.L, Energy / Utility Sector
I am so happy with the results, the resume, application letter and criteria you prepared are fantastic. I’m confident they meet and even exceed the criteria! Thanks again, your work is brilliant.
Thank you for all your help with my resume and cover letter. I received a call from the agency on Friday, and had a quick interview that morning. Looking at an interview with the General Manager IT for the company this week.
I cannot express enough how wonderful Louise was with me. Her professionalism, understanding and patience was truly outstanding. From the beginning, she explained to me what to expect throughout the process and I always felt very comfortable in asking her questions or anything I didn’t understand.
Happy new year Geoff, just to say thank you again for the help & resume I and was successful in gaining a cleaner supervisors afternoon shift full time at the Teachers Federation head office in Surry Hills, Geoff your resume helped so much as I had to be interviewed twice once for a panel of 3 & informal one with the facilities manager, so now since I started last week it looks a long & awesome career into my retirement so I am very grateful for your help on my resume.
I’m so impressed! Thank you so much. Everything looks sensational – the colours are perfect, the layout is perfect and it’s written in a way that makes me feel like it’s mine – I love it!
Cabin Crew, Sydney
I applied for nearly 30 roles this year and didn’t hear a thing. The first time I sent the resume and cover letter you prepared, I was invited to an interview and got the job. I’m not sure why I didn’t invest in a professional resume before, but I’m so happy I have one now.
Work, Health and Safety Officer, Perth
Col, After applying for jobs many times with my old resume, and not even getting a call, I have had two interviews, and been offered a job and start Monday. You made my resume ‘jump off the page’. Thank you.
Cheryn is a true resume adviser with a sea of professional knowledge and endless experience which she doesn’t hesitate to share at all. I found her services and support flawless, prompt and well worth trying out
Belinda built a professional resume that totally exceeded all of my expectations. Not only was Belinda extremely professional, but her turnaround time for the resume was exceptional. Belinda took the time to really find out about me and my expertise; thus, transforming my rather average resume into an extraordinary one. I strongly recommend Belinda to anyone who truly wants to market themselves effectively in todays competitive job market.
Had a good look at the resume and there isn’t anything I would change. It is better than I could ever have expected and everyone I’ve shown has said WOW …
.. extremely happy with the service. The level of commitment offered by Deana was exceptional. There were five drafts in total and as we traded ideas, Deana always amended and sent the next draft straight away. The wording and presentation exceeded my expectations. I expected what I do to be hard to translate to somebody outside of the Stockbroking industry but Deana took the time and we nailed it. My wife also read through the drafts and was very impressed. I expect my wife will be seeking help from Deana in the future.
My profession covers both financial services and information technology and I was particularly impressed at how Ray was able to understand and articulate my skills and experience into a succinct and effective document. What you get with Ray is much more than just a resume writer; you will get someone who will listen to your story and craft a CV that represents who you are and what you bring to the table. Thank you Ray.
Really professional and extremely easy to work with. Great job, Phil and much appreciated.
My resume was in desperate need of help when I went to see Louise. She pulled my experiences and qualifications in to a professional document that ultimately helped me effect a career change and launch my own business. Louise is competent, efficient and supportive. I highly recommend her services.
I am pleased to inform you that as of next Tuesday, I will be starting my new job as a trainer … They informed me that I had a pretty comprehensive resume and it was more of a meet and greet than an interview! Thank you again for the resume, your professionalism and attention to detail. I have no hesitation passing your details to others who may be in need of a professionally written resume.
I hadn’t thought of doing a professional resume until I applied for a position within the company I work with and discovered that due to the volume of applicants – 270 people – I was culled merely due to my resume not having a professional presentation. I contacted Nadean via the website and on first contact I knew that I had the right person to assist me. Nadean was able to provide an up-to-date, professional resume within 2 days. Using her own experience within HR, Nadean was able to provide a detailed yet direct response to selection criteria, showing me how to correctly word my applications for the future. In essence what I’m trying to say is: if you want to present a professional image from the start that will encompass all your abilities and talents providing an accurate picture to your prospective employer – contact Nadean!
I’ve only now had time to peruse your work on my resume and consider it a true masterpiece, I’m so happy with it. Thank you for your time and patience during this process and I will recommend you to all… and again Chris, thank you.
I just want to say thank you for all your help with my amazing resume. First job I applied with it I got an interview and was offered the job. I’m now employed by Woolworths.¬
I was so nervous about applying for the internal role. I didn’t know how to write about my experience without it sounding like I was taking credit for the work the team did. I’m so glad that I decided to get professional help!
Project Manager, Brisbane
Thanks so much for the resume. It looks great. I like the overall look of the document now and have made the other small adjustments you suggested.
“Thank you for your friendly and professional assistance in tailoring my resume and cover letter to meet today’s job market. I now feel confident that my experience is well represented in all applications. Your assistance and guidance is greatly appreciated. Thank you!!!”
I just wanted to take this opportunity to thank you for all your work in getting me ready to start applying for some part time positions. Your promptness and professionalism is greatly appreciated.
