You recently prepared my resume and I have now secured a great position at Public Transport Victoria. Feedback at my interview said the resume was a standout. Thanks again for your assistance and advice.

Risk Management Executive

Thanks for sending my cover letter and resume through so quickly. Wow! There really is a huge difference between what I thought was a good resume and cover letter and one that has been professionally written. You made me sound much better than I thought I was and they lay out is so eye catching, I only wish I had done this right from the start, I would probably have a job by now! A professional resume must be the advantage that no one tells you about.

Nurse

Thank you very much for your service and producing wonderful documents, you make me shine.

Disability Services Manager

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 so much for your very professional service and I am delighted with the final result. The quality documents you created, combined with your advice, has really helped.

General Manager, Operations

From the first contact, Chris Taylor from Successful Resumes was very helpful and went above and beyond to provide me with top service. All documents were speedily created and sent to me for my review and any changes that I requested were made. I ended up having the exact resume that I wanted. Chris also gave good advice on cover letter writing and LinkedIn profiles. He provided interview tips and was all-round a great bloke. I would highly recommend Chris’ services and will be using Successful Resumes again in the future. Thanks, Jason

First application, first interview – all thanks to you.

Great thanks Allan – received at least 7 – 8 LinkedIn requests today, it’s really working. If I hear of anyone else who needs help I will put your name forward.

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.

Pharmacist and Construction Worker

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.

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.

Administration

Hello Lucy, just wanting to thank you for all your help – the resume and cover letter worked a treat! FYI, I had an interview today with Rio Tinto and got the job! I do my medical and site induction next week and off we go in a new domestic direction. Thank-you so much for all your help and efforts.

OH&S Training – Mining Industry

It was an absolute pleasure working with Ray, I highly recommend his services, he went out of his way to meet me and talk to me out of hours. Ray tirelessly worked through my CV, covering letters and LinkedIn profile well into the late evenings on many occasions, the outcome is a true testament to the quality work he guaranteed. Once again thanks for all the effort.

Project Manager

Hello Michele, Thank you so much for the help and the time you spent on my Resume. I would highly recommend you to my friends and anyone who is seeking for a grade-A Resume that can bring many opportunities to find the best job. Once again, I was totally satisfied with the final outcome of my resume. Masters in Petroleum Engineering Graduate

I met Stephen Howard when looking for a new job after career switch. We had a long discussion about my previous career and the new intended path. After the discussion Stephen provided me with suggestions how to better prepare for job interview, how to expand my LinkedIn and professional network and revised my resume and cover letter. He was attentive, provided valuable information and was compassionate and motivating. The revised documents were a major improvement and I have found a new position very quickly.

I can highly endorse Samantha’s expertise in resume writing. After our initial conversation, Sam was able to extract my major achievements then express them to their best advantage in a succinct and energetic way. My professional history is now narrated in my resume in an accurate and compelling aspect. My resume shows my skills in terms that are meaningful to employers and that highlight my best strengths. I feel extremely confident in sending my resume to prospective employers and know that I am well-represented by Samantha’s excellent document. It was a pleasure to work with Samantha. Our discussions about the document’s revisions and finalisation helped to make the onerous task of resume writing an easy and enjoyable process.

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.

Just a very quick word to say thank you for the great job you did on my resume. I am amazed how you managed to shrink my five page draft into your finished product comprising two pages and still get the story out to ‘sell me’.

Commerce Graduate (HR)

“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

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.

Justus Rapula, Lae, Papua New Guinea

I wanted to thank you for the very professional job you did on my resume. It far exceeded my expectations. You were able to clearly articulate my diverse background in a clear concise manner. I very much appreciate and value the service you provided.

I know your background isn’t IT but reading this resume you would never know. The terminology you used is spot on, especially for Agile and Lean project management methodologies. I was worried if I got a professional resume writer my resume wouldn’t sound like me, but this is fantastic! You took everything we talked about and made it sound better. Thank you! Project Manager, Canberra
