I’mmmmmmm IN!!!! Thank you for all your help. …When I say I’m in, I’m just through to phase 2, but it’s the resume and selection criteria that got me there, So, again, Thank you!
I just wanted to send a quick email to say thank you for all your work on updating my resume and other documents, it has made a real impact on the job front. I got called for 3 interviews and am excited to say I’ve been offered a role which I start tomorrow!
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 recently retained Ray’s services to update my resume as I prepared to take the next step in my career. Not only is Ray friendly, professional and a pleasure to work with, he is also extremely knowledgeable and has a practical understanding of the mentality of an employer. The entire process was simple and painless and represents excellent value for money.
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 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.”

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.
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.
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
Thanks Martin. The Resume is brilliant and I will have no hesitation in recommending you.
Just wanted to let you know I got the job and start as Operation Manager in a few weeks. Thanks again for all your help.
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!
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 Kell…..I’m absolutely speechless…I’ve never seen such an amazing looking resume and to think that it is about me….I’m over the moon with my resume
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.

Hi Lucy, just letting you know I’m starting an Engineering Drafting role with Sea-Struct. I wish to offer my sincere thanks for your hard work with the preparation of my resume. The HR and engineering staff were impressed with its presentation. I believe it was the key to me getting an interview – Notch another one up for Successful Resumes! Once again, many thanks.
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.
Successful Resumes recently developed my board CV and bio. The writer I worked with in Adelaide focused on genuine engagement and learning through listening. She quickly identified my style and values and developed a product that is authentically me. I am very happy with the quality and professionalism of the final products and consider the investment great value for money.

In my mid-fifties, I was contemplating a career transition from a lawyer of over thirty years to an NFP board role. I could draft legal documents, but not being in the job market for several years, I wasn’t across all of the nuances of resume-writing and job applications. I sent Cheryn my outdated resume and she reconfigured and transformed it and generally made me more competitive. This gave me the confidence to apply for board roles and I have recently been successful. I even had someone compliment me on my resume. I would not hesitate to recommend Cheryn for assistance with resume overhauling and assistance with applications. Lynne J, lawyer and NFP board member.
Thank you so much for putting together my new look resume. It certainly looks and reads more professionally than any I have put together myself in the past. I feel that you have made me sound fantastic, somewhat superior to how I even view myself. You definitely have a way with words!
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.
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.
I applied for the job with the Foundation with little expectation of landing it, however in a case of perfect timing, they were planning to look for someone to take on media/communications just as my CV hit their inbox. I’m starting there on a contract basis next week and wanted to say thanks again for knocking my resume into great shape.
I just wanted to take this opportunity to thank you for all your work in getting me ready to start applying for some part time positions. Your promptness and professionalism is greatly appreciated.
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.
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!
There is no way I could have presented my resume like this – absolutely fantastic
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!
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 just thought I would let you know what I am being flown over to Queensland next week for an interview… I wanted to thank you for putting my resume together… I have also recommended you to some mates from Uni so hopefully they get a hold of you.
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.
Wow, what a change. I knew my old resume was outdated but this is night and day. You did a brilliant job of distilling everything we talked about into a hard-hitting snapshot of who I am and the experience I bring to the table. I’m so pleased Mark passed on your details.
Chief Financial Officer, Sydney
Sandy, really appreciate the time you put in, especially identifying my strengths and skills, guiding me as I venture into a new career path.
My Resume looks so professional, modern and up to date! She gave me wonderful advice and really helped me prepare for the interview process so much so that I believe it was through her assistance and guidance that gave me the confidence to perform well in my interview. I then had the best outcome of all by being offered the new position of Warehouse Officer
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
I just want you to know that my CV that you’ve done has completely changed my life. You saw the job that I was interested in and you were willing to work through the weekend for me because you believe I will be able to do the job, I just needed a good CV and cover letter. I just got a call from the recruitment agent asking me to go in for an interview, she also said that I am 1 of the 4 candidates and she didn’t ‘see many suitable ones like me’. Having been trying to find a proper full time job for the last year and only had 2 interviews, you made me believe it’s not me that is incapable, it’s just my CV not being good enough. I really really want to thank you for your hard work and how you believed in me!! Thank you very much.
Hi John, Just a quick message to let you know that following my presentation of my new CV and subsequent interview, I have been awarded a supervisory position with John Holland at the new Perth Children’s Hospital. It was the first position I applied for. I would like to thank you for your great work creating the CV.
Cheryn is a true resume adviser with a sea of professional knowledge and endless experience which she doesn’t hesitate to share at all. I found her services and support flawless, prompt and well worth trying out
I Love the covering letter. Thanks so much. I could not sell myself half as well. Thanks heaps for all your help. I will be sure to recommend you to my colleagues, family and friends. I love the Resume too. Here’s hoping I can live up to them both.
Thanks again for preparing the cover letter for me. It was beautifully written and precisely summarised my experience and ability. I am very impressed.
Just letting you know I was successful in getting the Engineers position at Sydney Harbour Ferries. There were 180 applications so thank you for your attention to detail with my resume and attaching all the relevant documents and certificates for the HR Department. With so many applications I know that your work helped me to be successful.
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!
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.
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
After reviewing a difficult JDF for a job I was interested in, I contacted Louise as she had helped me previously. Without any hesitation, Louise reviewed and updated my Resume and spent a number of hours assisting me with my application until we were both satisfied. Louise is very professional and articulate, and I would not hesitate in using her again or recommending her service. She made it seem easy. Thank you Louise.
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
Nicole was fabulous to work with, a great communicator, always prompt replies, Nicole listened well & added qualities to my resume that I hadn’t listed or told her
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.
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
First application, first interview – all thanks to you.
