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.

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.

After contacting multiple resume consultants Successful Resumes replied quickly and seemed to be the most honest and professional person I spoke too. Maya was really flexible and made time for me around the busy schedule I had at the time. Once we had had the initial consult, I had a draft copy of my resume and cover letter within 2 days, the finals were there the next day. I sent the resume out the next day and on that very same day had replies and interviews locked in. 2 weeks later I am now in the exact role that I had the resume written for. I highly recommend Maya’s services.

I can’t thank you enough, the job you have done with my resume is absolutely outstanding!

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!

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 worked with Ray on having my resume and cover letter up to scratch. Literally within the first week of having my new resume I started getting call backs! It was great! Ray was always so helpful by giving advice and helping me with any necessary changes, I’m so glad I went with this company!

Well the resume you did for me worked. I just landed a 5 yr FIFO job out of Darwin, thanks again for your services

Just wanted to advise that I was offered that reliability engineer job you did my resume up for. With that in mind I’d now like to update my CV. The resume you wrote was brilliant, but it was targeted at that one job and needs to be amended for some of the more senior roles I am now targeting

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.

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.

Thank you again for your help. I have to say that your writing skill and the ability of combining small pieces of thoughts together is amazing. The cover letter is exacting what and how I would like to present. A friend of mine is also thinking about finding a new job. I will give your contact details to her.

I got the job with Defence. Thank you so much for your help. There were no interviews for this position it was totally based on the answers to the selection criteria which hit the spot dead on.

Although I have never really relied on my CV to get a job – probably because I never believed in the one I had- I have used (the one you prepared) a few times this year and every time with a greater confidence than ever before. So thank you from the bottom of my heart. I have raved a lot about not only you but the confidence a properly written CV gives to a person, that I have a few people across the globe wanting the same done.

“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.”

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.

I thoroughly enjoyed working with Louise. She gave me so much confidence in myself to apply for jobs as a recent graduate. I am very happy with the service as she was always quick to respond to emails and completing the service.

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

Hi Sandy, I’m honestly very impressed…thank you very much. I can’t think of any more additions. I can see immediately how you have made my Resume more succinct and punchy!

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

Really professional and extremely easy to work with. Great job, Phil and much appreciated.

A very professional and friendly service. My CV looks fantastic and I will be rolling it out in the next few months looking for employment in the Adelaide area. The Cover letter and the LinkedIn page was also created by Successful Resumes and again both look professional, accurate and to the point. I cannot them enough for the help, direction and overall quality that the writer bought with her.

Hi Chris, Thanks so much for the cover letter, LinkedIn profile instructions and interview guide! You’ve been so helpful and efficient!   Susanne

I’ll take this opportunity to let you know that I think you have done a great job & I’m very pleased with the finished result of the resume, cover letter & how we dealt with the whole thing. I will for sure be recommending you to friends & colleges. Much appreciated Sharon!!

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.

Hi there, WOW! The résumé looks great!! Thanks for the forwarded job application…. Will let you know how it all goes…

Console Operator to Administration Assistant, Mining

I was just told I was successful in obtaining a senior management role in Government. Thank you for your excellent resume writing services – you gave me a CV that was highly professional and tailored to the role. I was very impressed with your knowledge of the government sector and how you highlighted my skills, experience and achievements, to give me the best possible chance of standing out and ultimately ‘landing’ the job. Going through this process with you has really helped me uncover my unique accomplishments and achievements. This has been a great investment and I would, and have done so already, highly recommend your service.

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.

Thanks Jenny, looks great, much appreciated. I have learned a lot from a short time working with you, and will be pleased to recommend you in the future

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.

Thanks for the resume, it looks fabulous! I really had no idea how to present my skills well enough when I had so many different positions. I can’t wait to get it out there

Thank you for taking care of my personal resume in such a prompt and professional manner. All I can say is you do fantastic work and know how to bring out the best! The group I am working with in Hong Kong and China reviewed my resume and said they admire the format and content. It is a pleasure to have met you and I sincerely thank you for a job well done. Keep up the excellent work.

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.

I recently sought the assistance of Cheryn Porter via Successful Resumes to more fully understand what employers and recruiters are seeking. The service Cheryn provides is professional, timely and of the highest quality. Cheryn took a strategic approach and assisted in editing, structuring and formatting my application as required to give me the best chance of being noticed and selected for interview. I am happy to say that with my first application submitted following Cheryn’s professional editing and advice I was selected for interview and was successful in gaining a position that suits my education, skills and experience. I have no hesitation in recommending Cheryn’s services to anyone seeking highly knowledgeable and constructive assistance in improving their applications

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.

“Wanted to let you know I’ve finally gotten my foot in the door with Rio Tinto by getting a job at their Cape Lambert site as a Sample Operator through WorkPac!

This couldn’t have been done without you!”

“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

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.

Thank you so much for the new cover letter, resume and LinkedIn profile!! They are fabulous and I am very, very pleased with the excellent job you have done. I realise that my resume was tricky to complete as there were so many different sections, styles, techniques to cover. You have done a wonderful job and it is a very impressive document! I would highly recommend you to anyone that was needing a resume put together.

Nadean made the stressful process of applying for positions an enjoyable one. Nadean knows exactly what a future employer is looking for. This in turn gave me the advantage. In today’s climate every advantage is needed. I would not hesitate to recommend Nadean and her skill set to anyone wanting their resume updated and or applying for that sought after position

The resume has been a success. I have had a lot of interviews since I have sent it out. I will definitely send people your way should they need their resume updated

Good day Jenny, I totally forgot to email you. I wanted to let you know that I had a successful interview and got the job. I start in March. Thanks again for the great work you did on my resume, that first step was crucial. I will refer your name if anybody I know needs a professional CV done.

Thought I’d let you know I’ve been offered (and accepted) the role you assisted with application for. It was probably one of the more intense (if not the most) interview but with a super quick recruitment process following. Thanks again for your assistance. The panel commented on the high quality of my application.

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

Thanks Martin. The Resume is brilliant and I will have no hesitation in recommending 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.

I want to thank Peter in helping me update my CV after 6 years. I didn’t realise how out of date my own CV was. Peter’s final copy looked amazing, really professional and gives me an increased level of confidence to submit to any prospective employer. He also spent additional time helping me in preparing a proper cover letter and the use of the STAR principle when completing the Essential Selection Criteria. Overall, my job application looks contemporary and professional and should give me a much improved chance in securing employment. Thanks again Peter, you were an absolute pleasure to deal with and thanks for all your help.

Thank you Sharon the resume you did for me was great no problem with finding work, I am on my way to Wheatstone ING project.

I would like to thank Dunja for great work creating my cover letter. She was very friendly and created my cover letter in a very professional way which exceeded my expectations. She understood my experience and personality to create a letter that really felt like it told my story in the best way possible. It was exactly what I wanted my cover letter to be. I would highly recommend Dunja for anyone who seeks help with their cover letter or Resume.

Just wanted to thank you for resurrecting a tired old resume and giving me a strong stepping point for my new future. Your knowledge of the current recruitment industry is impeccable, and you need to be commended on that. You are a true professional, and you have an amazing insight into people and are open and honest in doing so. I would also like to express my sincere gratitude for your motivation and guidance, which was very appreciative for me, given that I have not applied for a job in several years, regardless of having worked since I was in my teens.

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.
