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.

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

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

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.

Nicole was great Skype was simple and easy and she got me what I needed, thank you.

You’ve summarised my skills and professional experience brilliantly! A recruitment consultant has remarked that it’s a great resume. I am already getting placed on shortlists for high calibre jobs. Thanks very much.

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 believe you have been a key to my success and I cannot thank you enough ! Thank you ! Buying you a beer would be the least I could do for you

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!!!

I was struggling to find a job for a few months. Although my previous work experiences with reputed MNCs was impressive, my CV did not reflect my true merit. Lucy, you tuned my CV so well that I got an overwhelming response – an incredible three interview calls within four days of applying with my updated CV.  I am so happy with my decision to go with you.

“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!!!”

Thank you so much for your very professional service, I am delighted with the final result.

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!

Hi Michele…Thanks for the final draft of my resume. I will look forward to the cover letter. I am pleased to let you know that I sent an application at 11 am this morning and before half an hour I got a call from the Agency so that’s a good start. I will definitely keep you informed of my progress. Thanks again for all your hard work and likewise it was a great pleasure working with you.

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

Hi Sandy, I just wanted to let you know I have been selected for the principals job. I could not have got there without your work in preparing the cover letter, resume and selection criteria. I did not realize the scope of the task and appreciate the many hours and phone calls to ensure we covered every detail.

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

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.

Hi Martin, Thank you for your time & efforts; the end product speaks for itself. It would have taken me months to try and put my experience into words, thank you; it is top quality!….We will certainly keep you in mind for referrals.

“Just wanted to let you know that the two jobs I applied for I didn’t get as I think my interview skills need some work. But the job I wanted I did get and then secured another one…  So I now have two casual jobs at the XYZ university which is 10 minutes from home. So thank you again and will refer you to others.”

Hi Lucy, I’ve just received my resume …. Your work is terrific! I must also let you know that I start my new job 9.00am on Monday! I went for 2 interviews and won both. Thanks so much for all your help in getting me to this stage and for the great after sales care!

Hi Chris, I am happy to report after 2 interviews with Mazda Australia I was offered the role of Project Office Manager, slightly different to job advertisement I applied for, and I accepted. Thank you for all your support.

You’ll be really impressed at the first meeting with Stephen, He pays close attention to what you say during sessions, Stephen’s positive attitude and the respect others feel toward him are palpable. I sincerely appreciate the time he spent reviewing my career goals and recommending strategies for achieving them.

The training delivered by Susan and Kell was engaging, informative and flexible to participants’ needs, interests and experience. Our volunteer job advisers left the training with more skills, knowledge and a deeper understanding of how to provide our clients with pre-employment support

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.

Thanks Sharon, the Resume you prepared after the 90 minute face to face meeting resulted in an interview first time, in my chosen field and subsequent employment. I had tried many times before and never proceeded to an interview. I believe your wording and format was the Key to success. You exceeded my expectations and I have gladly forwarded your details to others including my Son.

Hi Chris, A quick note to let you know that the resume and cover letter that you prepared for me last month has resulted in three interviews, two job offers and one contract! I start a new role in Training and Professional Development in late March. I can’t thank you enough.  S.R

“I had not needed a resume, and had not had a formal interview, as I had been in the same job as a government lawyer for seventeen years. Cheryn overhauled, modernised, reconfigured  and generally made my resume look more professional and competitive. I sent Cheryn the raw material and she crafted my response to the Selection Criteria for the role. I can write like a lawyer but not like an HR- professional, which Cheryn truly is. I cannot thank Cheryn enough, as she has given me the confidence to contemplate other roles. Cheryn truly ‘value-adds’, especially if you have not been in the job market for some time.”  L.J. Government Lawyer, Sydney

I have been meaning to email to tell you that I got the job! Many thanks for all your help with job application preparation – it was the key to presenting myself well and I know it made a huge difference.

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!

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!

Political Advisor to Client Liaison

I just wanted to let you know I’ve accepted a job offer. I was able to choose between two really good firms and potentially a third. I’m still receiving calls and I’m happy to be the one turning them down! It’s a good to know that I don’t have to worry about securing a job. Thanks for all your help Lucy.

Nicole provides a professional service to her clients as she listens to their requests and responds promptly as timelines are often urgent in personalising resumes to highlight particular job requirements.

I’ve now got three job offers out of the work that we did together on my résumé, cover letter and LinkedIn profile!! Getting all these job offers has been such a boost for my confidence and I now know that I’m a very valuable applicant.

Thanks, Michele, looking great, I think I might employ this person myself……..Great resources, much appreciated and thanks again for a great job on my CV and letter. All the best Regards

Senior Lecturer/Technical Adviser to HSEQ Manager

I just want to thank you for the resume; I applied for three jobs, got to the second lot of interviews with one and was offered a position from the other two. I will recommend you to anyone that asks where to get a resume done

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.

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!

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.

I am a Sales Professional who asked Ray at Successful Resumes to review my resume. My resume was 10 years old and badly needed the professional touch. Ray was really prompt. He adopted a simple approach. Within 2 days he made my old resume look like a brand new document. It was professional looking and certainly one that made my skills and attributes stand out. Plus he drafted a professional cover letter and updated my LinkedIn profile. All done in quick time. I can’t speak highly enough for Successful Resumes. It was terrific value for money.

Thank you, thank you! You have achieved, in the first draft, a resume I am already so proud of! WOW, I couldn’t be happier…..What a difference it makes to have someone who knows how to make fantastic upgrades to a very simple CV. I’m so grateful!

The resume you wrote did a good job. It first impressed the agent I went through and then the translated copy hit home with the employer. Not bad

Just a quick note to advise that I have been successful! I will commence next Monday as a permanent employee ending my six-year drought as a contractor. Thank you for your ear and time to re-write my resume and produce an appropriate genuine cover letter that reflected my experience and who I am. I was confident when I put forward the application and the rest was a breeze. Again much appreciated and I felt you were the right person the minute I met you.

OMG! That’s great, perfect even.

Thank you so much, I really thought I was going to be a hard turd to polish but you have made it so sparkly I need to wear sunglasses to read it.

You’re amazing, thanks again.

I was in the market for a new role and was speaking to friend who said don’t do anything until you’ve seen Samantha. I understand now why. My new resume is really outstanding. It is four pages less than my original one but somehow says so much more. I have had great feedback from recruiters and am now ready for when the right role comes along.

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.

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.
