What our clients say

Just wanted to share the great news with you – I’ve been offered an interview for the Tour Manager position only two days after submitting my application and applications haven’t even yet closed!! Many many thanks for drafting my resume and cover letter for me. You are truly fabulous and excellent at what you do!!!
S. Dudley
The service we received from Elisa is second to none. Great service, easy to talk to via Email and a fantastic result. Highly recommended! Very prompt and professional!
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.
From those whom looked over my application said they believed my resume was extremely professional and that they were impressed with what they saw. Thank you for all the effort and assistance you provided throughout my application process. The resume and advice you provided gave me confidence in my application and I was able to focus on ensuring that I was able to meet all of the other requirements placed upon me.
Thanks Elisa! I am proud and happy to announce that I was successful in my application and have been appointed Fire Lieutenant at my station.
The service was very professional and efficient. Elisa was able to clearly articulate my strengths and expertise in such an innovative way. The design of the resume was eye catching and the layout was very effective

I knew I had the qualifications and the necessary experience to pursue further challenges in my career. What I did not have was the skill to write up a resume, that would skillfully summarize my experiences, and make me feel confident to prospect for employment anywhere in the world. I even tried the internet for tips but was not satisfied with the outcome. Successful Resumes assisted me to realize my potential and gave me the confidence to seek employment world over. I am now proudly submitting my resume to employment agencies that are seeking applicants with my qualifications and experiences.

Having decided to change career direction and move into an area I had very little experience in, I was fortunate enough to be given Elisa’s email address by a friend. Writing positive things about yourself can be quite daunting! However, Elisa obviously enjoys a challenge and within a couple of days, I received a draft of my FABULOUS resume in my inbox. Elisa’s understanding of the English language is quite exceptional. Bare in mind, I was wanting to have a complete career change, so this task was a challenge. To Elisa, Thankyou! Thankyou! Thankyou! I can say honestly and sincerely, that I will recommend your talents to everyone I know.
