Resume / Cover Letter / Selection Criteria Services:

"At first, I was a bit hesitant as I did not really know what I was going to get for my money. But I was put totally at ease very quickly. I received a job offer 48 hours after I submitted my resume for my dream job. That just about says it all." Derek, Lawyer

"The prompt turnaround, choices and Tara West did a fantastic job from the details I have given her. All family and friends were impressed with the resume and have asked for the contact details. I have only chased up applications for 3 jobs so far and I was offered an interview for all 3 within 2 days." Laura, HR Manager

"Thank you very much for your help and efficient response. I enjoyed doing business with your company and am satisfied with the end result. I appreciate your patience and flexibility in,  incorporating  my personal suggestions into the resume as well." Dr S.K.

"Gorgeous 'real' people, full of talent, professionalism and human/worldly insight. Felt very 'at home' and in good hands with all. I will not hesitate to pass on your details to all of my friends and future colleagues. I also plan to put an advert/publicity bit for you guys in a mag that I do a bit of writing for. Oh and I will also send an email to all on my email listing which includes 200 folks from all backgrounds - doctors, nurses, lawyers, office staff, gardeners. Letting them know how more than pleased that I was with your amazing service. Thank you all." Tina D.

"Wow once I applied for jobs when I came to my country, I was offered jobs from many schools. Guess what I only had to choose where to teach. Your format of the resume was just too good. Now I am teaching in the most expensive school in the country. This is only because of your well written resume." Rebecca

"A belated thank you for your efforts. The work that you put into my resume was impressive and not only gave me a highly presentable and readable document, but the creation process helped me think about how to make myself attractive to potential employers in the interview process. The field of work I am in has grown tight over the last few years making it very hard for Graduates to enter the workplace. It was therefore imperative that I had the whole package, including a faultless, unique resume. Since you created my resume, I have been updating my skills and replacing information as they are superseded by better skills. As I am only replacing information, the original layout is preserved. I would recommend your service to all Graduates." Michael, Environmental Health Officer

"Just an update I have applied for 4 jobs since you and your team did work on my resume and SC and have been successful in receiving 4 interviews and waiting for the result as they are high security jobs they take time. I would just like to thank you and your teams efforts in getting me this far." Jason

"As a student nurse, I was only able to apply for 4 hospital positions for graduate nurse program for 2007. I received interviews for all 4 applications. At every interview the panel commented on my very impressive resume. I can tell you now that my application has been successful, I got my first choice." Juli

"Some really good news, I have just won a role as Manager Corporate Services for the Dampier Port Authority, which, apparently, is WA’s 2nd largest port. Looking at starting up in the sunny and WARM northwest beginning of August.  A big thank you to you and the guys at Aussie Resumes, you have certainly been instrumental in helping me to win this job. Your quality of work, dedication and attention to detail has been great." Tony G.

"I am so pleased to have been offered an excellent position as Commercial Director Asia/Pacific for a fashion company. There is no doubt that the excellent resume you compiled for me was a major factor in the selection process. Thank you!" R.H.

"GOOD NEWS, the position I applied for recently, they informed me that I was successful and I will be starting the new job in a few weeks time. I want to thank you for your help and guidance with the application and useful tips that you have provided me with. I will be recommending your company to my colleagues and friends and will keep in touch in the future. Once again thanks a lot" K.

"I had been applying for jobs, without much success for about 6 months, until I found Aussie Resumes. The very next position I applied for, they were so impressed with the application they flew me over for the interview.  Since then I have been dealing with Aussie Resumes, for about 18 months, and during that time I have applied for 4 jobs and every time I have received an interview. The interviewers are always impressed by the resume and it is this that gets the interview. I am now moving into a senior managerial position. Even considering all of the above, it was the personal touch that impressed me most. Thankyou Aussie Resumes" Alan L.

"You helped me with my resume and selection criteria for a job application with the Ag Dept last week. I just wanted to let you know that I have been asked to come in for an interview! I am really thrilled with the result. To be honest, before I saw your website I wasn't even going to apply for the job because I was afraid I would spend days working on the application and not even get an interview. Thank you so much for everything, and I will try to let you know how I go." Jade

"Just a quick letter to let you know what a wonderful job you did with my resume. I sent it and the first thing they said was what a wonderful resume'!! After impressing them with my beautiful resume, I had a clinical interview and they sent my contract:) How's that? First position applied for and I got it, obviously helped along by your eye catching work:)  Thanks heaps" Sandi M.

"The recruitment agency was so impressed and told me that my skills are very rare. They offered me a 12 months contract for $140K! I'm considering taking it.  I was a bit sceptical at the beginning having to pay someone to do my resume, however without your assistance in re-doing my old resume (which I used it to apply for a graduate position), I would not be able to be exposed on a bigger world. You presented my skills and experience really well in the resume. Thanks again. I recommended your service to my current jealous colleagues." Katie

"Thank you for all of your hard work and effort.  I realize it must not have been easy! I received the final drafts of my resume and cover letter along with the interview tips. I have received two requests for interviews within 48 hours of submitting my resume. Wish me luck!" Ariel H.

"I would just like to thank you for the help your resume gave me in obtaining my position with a global FMCG company. I obtained the position on my first interview after receiving my resume from you. I have had pleasure in telling every one that they should get a professional resume for themselves. I have directed every one to you address. Once again thank you for the resume." Damian W.

"Using your resume + selection criteria I got a phone interview for the Federal Police job. I have however secured another position in Canberra using the resume you wrote.  I just wanted to thank you for a very well written document that I am sure secured not only the two phone interviews but also the permanent APS position in Canberra."  Simon, I.T. (first letter received from Simon)

"I have finally found out about the APS7 position with the Federal Police.  It takes a while for the public service cogs to turn but I have secured the job.  I was starting to doubt I would be able to land an APS7 position with my current qualifications.  Your professionally written resume, selection criteria and introduction letter definitely assisted me in realising my potential and landing a $70K + job with the Federal Police.  I have been in the military for 15 years and hadn’t applied for a job in at least that long.  I didn’t even know what a selection criteria was.  Aussie Resumes knew exactly the right questions to ask me, in order to produce a very professional resume and selection criteria.  All my mates are extremely jealous and ask how I got such a sweet job – I simply say look up Aussie Resumes on the net.  Feel free to use this on your webpage – I can’t be happier at the moment.  Once again thank you for every thing." Simon (second letter received from Simon)

"I couldn't quite pinpoint what was wrong with my old resume except for its length and clunky English. I tried to put all this information that I thought would be relevant, but the document just bloated and lacked style. And then I put all this stuff in tables and summaries and it became unreadable. Eventually it pissed me off so badly that even I did not want to read it. It wasn't probably the worst resume I've seen but not the best either. I love the new one. It is compact and all holes are patched, looks good, reads good and looks good even if you only had a glimpse at it (which is excellent according to this "so-many-seconds" theory)." MM

"I will be forwarding my recommendation to Xerox that they consider your services to complement the other out-placement services they provide.  In my opinion this would give their out-placed staff a very competitive edge in a very competitive environment of career search and placement. Thanks for what you have completed." Bruce, I.T. Professional

"Thanks again for your time and effort. You have done a superb job!  I passed it by an associate who works for a recruitment company and he was so impressed he wanted to know where I had it done. So I gave him your website address.  I wouldn't be surprised if he refers some of his clients to you in future." Rebekah

"Thankyou. Aussie Resumes had written a resume for me in September and I have been offered the job. The interviewers were impressed by the resume and it help put me over the line. I am now moving from a blue collar environment to a managerial environment with increase pay of 100+ per week. I will be using Aussie Resumes again." Peter, Instructor

"Well it has been almost three months since I applied for and landed my dream job, and it is only fitting that I finally take this opportunity to thank both yourself and 'Aussie Resumes'. I really had my eye on this job and it was by far the most detailed and complex job application I've had to compile, but your expertise made the task that much easier. The response to the selection criteria and resume revamp worked a treat ! I am eternally grateful for your truly insightful advice, efficient and friendly service and professional work. A huge thank you, followed by a thank you and finally thank you !!!"  Denis

"Thanks for the good resume so far  I applied 6 Jobs and got a positive reply from all of them. So at the moment its 100% response. Good job. Keep it up." Chetan, Accountant

"Just a short note, I have been short listed for 11 positions in Management since I started applying with your CV and cover letter.  Will keep you informed what happens! Sleeping much better now!! Take care." Nico

"My resume and covering letter was of the highest quality.  I emailed the prospective employer late Friday and the phone was calling late Monday for an interview date.  So, don't want to jinx myself but fingers crossed. Sincerely, Thank You!!!!" Mira, Sales Management

"Sorry it has taken awhile to get back to you about the job application we worked on together but I have only just heard back from them today. They received over 100 applications and I have made it to the final 5!!!! so thanks so much that is better than I have ever done and to find out on my birthday was bonus indeed." Natasha, Office Administration

"Excellent writing skills in regards to Selection Criteria and Covering Letter......It certainly enhanced my application......I am amazed in the turn around time in providing such service....EXCELLENT....I can only surmise your service as B-E-A-T-S (Brilliant-Excellent-Admirable-Tremendous-Satisfied)." Jim, Finance Manager

"When you produced my wonderful Resume a few weeks ago you asked me to let you know if I got the job or not.  Well, I did!!!  I have resigned from my current position and finish here next week.  I commence my new role as the Office and Sales Administration Manager with my new company on 7 October. Thank you for all your help and assistance with this - especially given the short turn around time we had.  I am sure the Resume sealed the position for me!!!  Certainly it made a very professional first impression.  This new role is a great career move - with the added benefits of a large pay increase and fantastic bonuses!!! So, thank you again - I am very grateful." Janene

"You'll be pleased to know that I won the job.......in no small part thanks to you! So Cheers and thanks again. I'll buy you a beer next time you're in town, so be sure to look me up. Regards, Steve (Engineer)

"My wife, Sabiha, is very happy with your service.  She got several interviews, and already got an offer within the first couple of weeks of job search and interviews.  She is on her way to a couple of more offers next week, since the interviews went very well.  Actually, so many calls for interviews are coming, I told her to put a hold on them until she gets the current offers. That will give her a break, since she is exhausted with so many interviews in a week, already.  (She) is very surprised by the response! She is thanking me since I got her resume redone for Australia.  I told her not to thank me, but to thank you... who made it all happen, by excellently rewriting her resume." Syed

"Just to give you some feedback.  I applied for a position as WA State Manager for a company with a salary of $75K + car + super + bonuses and was offered the job.  The interviewer said it was the best resume he'd ever seen! I start the new job on 6th January.  Thank you very much Tara, I will certainly recommend Aussieresumes to my colleagues in future." Roy

"I was having some limited success in getting interest from employers and recruiters with the resume that I wrote for myself.  When I started distributing my new resume that Aussie Resumes wrote for me, then my phone starting ring more often, and I was getting more interviews. Then I had to choose a job offer, and I didn't have any such luxury before I got some help from Aussie Resumes. Thank you!" Stephen, Senior Network Engineer.

"Our resume work payed off. I had an interview this week with ABCTV.  Thanks for all your efforts the resume did get results." Producer

"I had feedback from the other position in regards to the Board of Studies. Out of 90 applicants, I was in the top 5. I phoned this morning to obtain info about my application and selection criteria. The person involved informed me that both the resume and selection criteria was excellent. The person who was interviewed and offered the job had abilities in mathematical and language computing. I did not have the experience in this. However, with my experience with the special needs, they have passed my resume and references to a special needs department. Please stay in touch, and thank you very much for your input and guidance." John

"I am quite impressed. Thank you for your help. I gained a 27.2% increase in net salary, new car and a promotion to a new position." James, Assistant General Manager, Kenya

"Had the phone interview last Thursday, now I go to the Property next week for a few days to meet and greet and to see if I like the job.  Thank you again, for the resume preparation.  I have past (sic) your resume writing contact web address on to others in this district." Ernie, Property Manager

"Just letting you know I was successful with my application as Head of Middle School at XXX. Thankyou for helping me get that initial foot in the door!" Mike

"Personal, friendly service.  Felt like you were truly interested in helping me produce a good resume.  The flexibility in accommodating my many revisions was also appreciated... not just tick a box stuff." Mark, Music Teacher

"I got the job! Thanks so much for your help - I think it was what got me through I did not think my interview was great! Let me know if you need a reference!" Peter, Senior HR Consultant (OS&H)

"Thankyou for your fine work.  I am amazed that you have managed to reduce my CV from 10 pages to 4 and the quality of the work.  I am willing to employ myself after reading the CV." Sean, Software Development Contractor

"Thankyou very much for your prompt and high quality service. Not only have you given me the tools to go out and be successful, but you have also regained the confidence in myself . One goes through some soul searching when re-entering the job market and the way you have presented my job history made me sit up and think, hey I really did do all that stuff and can do it well again. You provide a great service, and you can expect plenty of referral work from me. Thanks and Best Regards." Tony, Sales Executive

"I just wanted to let you know that I had an interview today for an Assistant Chemists position here in the UK. I think the interview went quite well so I just wanted to say thank you again for the impressive resume. I still want to come back to Australia to pursue my career but it's great to get in some interview practice and it has given a boost to my confidence." Olivia

"Thank you very much for your outstanding work on my resume, I couldn't be happier with it.  It looks and reads great."  Sean, US Navy Pilot

"Thank you for the resume, I am quite happy with the content. Obviously worth having a professional complete the task as it is difficult to muster such words to be said about self." Director

This has resulted in me securing a permanent position in my first choice of job. I feel that I have not only got great results but also value for money." Heather

"Looked good and the suggesting statements and action words helped a lot. Everything worked as it was supposed to. Easy to use, good selection of formats. Good software." Marty, Machinery Specialist

"It is straightforward and user friendly. I cannot think of any negative part of software." Jimmy, Technical customer support

"Thanks for your prompt reply, your excellent service, and your kind comments. I had a job interview today, my first in over 20 years! One member of the panel commented that the CV was excellent, so thank you for your help. Best wishes." Jonathan

"Hi admin and you clever cookies who compose these packages! Bought your package with its handy little tips a few days ago, sent my neatly concocted past history with glowing references off in reply to an ad on Saturday, was interviewed on Monday, and offered the job today (Tuesday)! (Not bad for 53!!! Was expecting a devil of a job getting people past my date of birth!).  Now I would like to believe it was my charm, wit and expertise that clinched the deal, but you and I know the truth really, don't we? Thank you for your help - the format is obviously a winner!" Fran

"I had no 'bites' with my initial resume, but after using the software, some input from you guys, the short list and interview opportunities grew exponentially." Chris, Project & Facilities Manager

"You can count me as a major success as I had been in teaching for a long period and had never written a resume or done an interview before this year.  I applied for four jobs in all, got interviews for three of them and was notified that I had the job I wanted the following day!  So, although a lot of it had to do with my determination to get a job, the resume and interview information provided by Aussie Resumes was all I needed to nut out how to go about it.  So a big thanks from me, I will recommend your product if my friends find themselves changing direction."  Paula, Volunteer Program Coordinator in Social Services

"I sent in the application, and it must have made a good impression on them... I got the job, even though I was ten minutes late for the interview! Fortunately, they wanted extra help from someone with my skills, anyway. Thanks for all your help. You do your customers a great service." Stephen

"I would like to thank all of you for a great program, the ease of which Australian Resume Writer allowed me to convert my old resume and update to my current details was fantastic and a real pleasure to work with. The tips offered for each of the sub sections was enlightening allowing me to review what I had in my past resume and refine the wording to read clearly and to the point. I have recently been appointed to a new National Business Manager Role within the company I have worked for the past 9 years and believe that your software helped put my resume to the top of the list. Thankyou all again." Andrew

"The overall presentation met my requirements and I was appointed to a position on the first application." Roy, Market Research

"It was by coincidence that I came across your company on the Internet. I must say I am glad I 'bumped' into you. You opened my eyes to all the dynamics at play in an effective resume. The software certainly helped me and made things a lot easier. It got my mind into gear. Your guidance and patience are sincerely appreciated. The service is truly first class and great value." Jack

"Aussie Résumés has taught me that there is another way of applying for a job. Great success I have been interviewed every time I have applied using the format that you have shown me and now I am working again. Thanks for teaching me that selling yourself can be done in a non-threatening way to future employers." Kelley
