About the PWRA
The PRWA is the first and only CV writers’ professional
association in the region. The group was originally founded in 2006 as
the Professional Resume Writers of Australia, under the joint
auspice of Successful Resumes Australia (Principal
John Little) & Resumes International Pty Ltd (Managing
Director Jan Bartel). Its Code of Ethics is the result of a collaborative
process involving input and the combined resources of the founding members.
