We want to tell your story with a professional resume

With his new Successful Resume, Zevi Kramer, technology expert and leadership trainer landed an interview with the world’s leading performance management firm Gallup. He emailed us to say “The difference between you and others is that others rearrange. You created me. You showed what’s possible”

We love how Zevi articulated the essence of Successful Resumes because it reflects exactly what we aim to do for each and every client. We partner with our clients to build a resume that really reflects who they are and what they offer. Understanding our clients and where they want to be in a year or even ten years helps us deliver resumes that authentically tells their story and positions them for the future they want.

We work with people across all occupations and all industries. From apprentices and graduates starting their career journey to senior leaders ready to transition to Board positions. We work with people who have been with the same company for more than 20 years and clients who have found a new role every two years. Regardless of your career path, we offer the expertise to present it in a way that best promotes you.

We take enormous pride in the amazing opportunities our clients have been able to seize with their successful resume. Below is a small sample of testimonials from delighted clients.

Dee is engaging and easy to work with because she is such a professional with expertise in the HR and Coaching arena. She continually goes above and beyond to guide and assist her clients with their next career step. Working with her has been a great opportunity to grow professionally as her knowledge of the industry is far-reaching especially in interview skills, networking and negotiations. I highly recommend Dee Bendo to anyone!!! Thank you Dee!!!

Hey Darren, got the first job I applied for, the resume was very effective. Thanks again I will be referring you to anyone that wants a resume made professionally.

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.

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.

Thanks Sam. Happy to recommend you to anyone on the Williamtown Base!

THANK YOU! It’s Spot on! The résumé looks great. I love how this looks! Thank you for your long hours, patience and skill. I feel confident that you’ve nailed it – you’ve made me look like a champion. I’m really happy with how this turned out. I’m confident that I couldn’t have got a better outcome from anyone else. Thank you, thank you very much. I will most certainly let you know how I get on with future projects.

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.

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.

Good morning Col, Thanks for fixing up my resume and making it much more readable and attractive to prospective employers. After only the third interview I now have a job that I really like.

Dunja was great to work with. I had very tight deadlines and Dunja exceeded my expectations. I now have a very professional CV that clearly articulates my skills and attributes. Thank you again, Jacquie.

Thank you very much, your work is fantastic specially doing so well in such a tight timeline shows how expert are you in this field. I will be in touch with for the next steps. I am waiting to see whether could I get their admission or not. If they accept my application then I would apply for Unit/s exemption. It shouldn’t be later than 5th of August. I also want you let me to recommend you to other friends.

I have been offered a job as a Property Manager with the real estate company of my choice. I wish to thank you for your expert advice with LinkedIn. I wish you every success with your future

Thank you for your work and commitment Dunja. Not only were your writing skills amazing, but you were also very supportive and encouraging during the process. I wish I could meet you in person to have a coffee or something, you are such a nice person. Thank you again for your service and support. – Priya 

You have been marvelous. I have just spent the afternoon ‘adjusting’ slightly the wonderful resume you made for me. Thank you from the bottom of my heart! Money well spent.

Hi Phil, Just thought you might be interested.  Part of getting in touch with you was a staged process in looking for different work opportunities.  I used the resume you worked on and applied for a position as a Director in Research and Innovation at the Australian XXX  and this was subsequently elevated to General Manager once they knew what skills I brought to their executive group.  And after 25 years at my previous job, I have now left ready to take on my new role as GM of Research and Innovation in Canberra!

Your simple act of working with me to modernise my resume gave me the confidence in myself to make a change and shoot high!

All the best and keep up your good work, Rob

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.

Hi Chris, Just letting you know that I received an offer last week for a provisional psychologist/ behaviour support practitioner. They organised the interview the day after I submitted my resume and cover letter and I received the offer two days after the interview. So thanks to you and the resume you created, I received offers for 3 interviews out of 4 applications which is great kudos to you. I will definitely be recommending your services to friends and colleagues. Suzanne

I have to say that you’ve done a brilliant job distilling all my information down to a very hard-hitting snapshot of my career and experience. As they say in the classics “you only get one chance at a first impression” – you have captured it perfectly. I am delighted with the end result. Thanks very much once again for a fantastic job.

Success at last! I got the job as a Medical Receptionist / Practice Nurse. I’m sure it was because of your beautiful resume. Thank you soooo much.

The resume looks great I can’t see anything wrong with it. I understand it as did my brother from a tradesman point of view.

Thank you for your work and commitment Dunja. Not only were your writing skills amazing, but you were very supportive and encouraging during the process. I wish I could meet you in person to have a coffee or something, you are such a nice person. Thank you again for your service and support.

Psychology Graduate, Fremantle

I can’t thank you enough for what you have achieved in such a short amount of time. The resume looks grand; I am SO pleased with it. It will be my pleasure to recommend your services to friends and colleagues! I will definitely let you know how I get on with the process and outcome… I am up against some very experienced professionals. It has been so lovely meeting and working with you. You have such a gift! Thank you.

Thanks heaps for writing my resume! I submitted it and had a job offer within 3 days!

My resume is perfect! After such a long gap having children I did not know where to start! You have restored my confidence and honed in on my past experience and skills.

Thank you for all of the work you did, the documents look great and have answered the questions very well. Thank you again Noel, it was lovely working with you and I will recommend your services and use them again in the future.

Michele wrote my resume when I completed Year 12. She presented my part-time work and external achievements in a way I didn’t know possible. It was amazing. The result… out of around 600 Electrical Apprenticeship applicants, I won the FIFO BHP Apprenticeship role I wanted. Now, at the end of my apprenticeship, Michele re-created my resume with my new experience and have now been offered a permanent position as a qualified A Grade Electrician in my chosen role with BHP near Newman. I would highly recommend Michele’s service’s, she took the time to find out about the role I was applying for and delved deep into my experience to demonstrate I was the best person for the job.

Cheryn was a continuing source of support and advice during my search for my first job. Her services are great value for money, compared to other overpriced resume writers in the market. Cheryn is friendly, resourceful and very dependable as an overall mentor and resume writer. She provided me with the skills for approaching a successful interview, as well as writing a well-written, professional, and clear resume for me, which secured many job interviews. With Cheryn’s interview toolkit and detailed resume writing skills, I felt very confident with my job interviews. I successfully landed a job role which I am very excited to start, and is an overall great fit for me. Thank you for all your help Cheryn, it was greatly appreciated.

I got the job! The gallery phone today and I start next week. Thank you!!! The interview training really helped improve my confidence and now i have the job I’ve always 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

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.

Thanks again for preparing the cover letter for me. It was beautifully written and precisely summarised my experience and ability. I am very impressed.

The headhunter has just called to tell me the resume you wrote is one of the best she has seen and that she is putting me forward for a couple of key roles. Thank you so much for your help. I’m grateful to [friend] for sharing his secret weapon and putting me in touch with you!

There is no way I could have presented my resume like this – absolutely fantastic

“The resume you did for me has been magic! St. Joseph’s College called me for an interview this Thursday. I’ll let you know how it goes.

Thank you for all your support.”

F.E, Primary School Teacher

Sandy, really appreciate the time you put in, especially identifying my strengths and skills, guiding me as I venture into a new career path.

I loved the resume! It looks fantastic, it really does. I am quite excited about it. So much of the info is presented so well, I am so glad I found you! Seriously, thank you for the great job.

Many many thanks. Just taking this opportunity to thank you dearly for your help and support.

Thanks again for all your assistance. With your help, I not only obtained the interview I was after, but have been promoted into the management position I was hoping for. The discussions with you helped bring to the forefront the experiences and examples I needed to discuss at the interview. Money well spent.

.. 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.

Cheryn is an exemplary Career Management Professional. Her experience in HR and service industry underscores her ability to provide high quality, client centred services. Her communication skills are superior. Highly recommended as a Career Coach for all levels: graduate to executive

I cannot speak highly enough about Successful Resumes. I recently moved into a completely new part of Victoria, my resume was incomplete, out of date and missing information. I reached out to Phillip to see if he could help me to fix these problems. WOW! He was so quick and diligent, within a couple of days I received my new resume and within 6 days, I had the job of a lifetime.
Tracy, Victoria

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

“After spending nearly 10 years as a self-employed builder, I found myself looking at making a career change. I realised that I should look at getting professional help updating my resume and cover letter. After contacting a few organisations who claimed to be resume professionals, with very few calling me back, I found Dee. I’m extremely happy with the outcome of my newly updated resume, cover letter and LinkedIn profile. Dee was professional, prompt and very skilled in all facets of the process. I will be using Dee for all job applications from here on, and can strongly recommend her…thanks Dee! ” LD, Builder

Hi Chris,  I got the job!  Thank you very much for your help through the application process, I know your work contributed to it being successful.  Cheers, Peter, Chief Customer Assurance Officer

There is nothing more daunting than putting yourself out there and applying for a new job. That’s why you need Louise on your side. Louise’s help is invaluable, wealth of knowledge and a genuine interest. Extremely professional. With her help your resume will stand out above the rest. Successful Resume only way to go.

Lucy is both personable and professional. She seeks to understand the position you are applying for to know how to tailor your CV and application to it. I was successful in the position I was applying for and have since recommended Lucy to others who have also had success. Highly recommend!
D.S. – Primary School Teacher

30 candidates for 3 jobs and I got first slot.

Thank you so much Allan!! Fantastic job. Once again thank you so much

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

Thanks for your work on my resume and cover letter. I had a mad week recently and applied for all sorts of jobs. Firstly I was successful in obtaining the volunteer position after submitting the resume you prepared and having an interview last week. I also got an interview for a full time call centre position and also got a position at Coles after submitting the resume and cover letter that you prepared. So thank you very much for your excellent work and saving me the nightmare of updating my resume, money very well spent. I would recommend you to anyone looking for a professional resume.
