Don't take our word for it!
This is what a few of our clients have to say...
Just thought I’d pass on the girls’ thanks for the excellent CV’s you provided them recently. Both have been successful in getting very good jobs.
Whitney starts on Monday in a high paying position with LX that has excellent future advancement prospects, and Casey has just today landed a very good job with DL in their administrative team, so both are very happy girls.
What did stick out very clearly through their process of searching for the right position was that their CV’s were complimented on by everyone as being excellent and that in both cases they immediately caught the eye of the reader. Whitney’s CV was in-fact so outstanding that LX’s National Logistics Manager flew up from Wellington especially to meet her and is already mapping an advancement process for her.
I can say without doubt that the minimal cost involved was money very well spent. The best gauge of this is that the CV’s did the job they were intended to do and got the girls very good jobs.
T Family, Logistics Management, Takanini
I'm feeling quite gobsmacked now - as well as having an interview next weekend at AA School I was also shortlisted for the position at BB Area School yesterday. They conducted the interview this afternoon and have offered me a specially created position as Assistant Principal which is effectively the Principal of the junior end of the college (years 1-6). I can't believe it, its been a better outcome than I would have ever thought possible. Thanks so much, it was clearly your resume that turned it all around for me. Best value for money I've had in a long time.
Mel M, School Principal, Otago
I am a structural engineering student who you prepared a CV for earlier in the year. The CV worked really well; I was made two offers, from two of the largest structural engineering consultancies here in New Zealand.
From the interviews I went to, they all commented on the fact that the CV was clearly the best they had received and found it easy to read and take the key points from.
Thank you for your time in preparing my CV, it certainly made the difference for me securing an interview and a job.
Blair L, Engineer, Takapuna
Thank you again for your excellent service in writing the CV for me.
In the end, the timing was perfect for me as, whilst I was planning to look around the job market from about now, I was approached about a position that came available a few weeks ago. The day after we had got to the final version of my CV was when they requested it. I have accepted the role and start in a month. It is the position of Manager of Business Development and Marketing for a government agency, which is a challenging role I am very excited about taking up.
Thanks again, the work you put into presenting my career to date was one of the reasons I was successful in securing the position.
Miriam O, Marketing Manager, Wellington
Just a note to let you know I was successful with the CFO position.
Thank you again for your help with the resume. It was a far more difficult and exhausting exercise than I had ever imagined, but it is most satisfying to be able to say that I could not have produced a better resume than the final product. Your challenging questions gave me reason for much soul searching but I have come through the process with a higher opinion of my skills and achievements (as have others in the company).
I asked two trusted friends in senior professional positions to read and comment on the resume and they were impressed enough that you may get further business out of it!
Peter S, CFO, Adelaide
Thank you very much for your help in drawing up my CV.
Last year I went through the process of applying to all the large accounting firms but my CV wasn’t good enough to even get me an interview.
This year with the new CV, I applied to all the accounting firms and some banks. In the last couple of weeks I have received a few invitations to evening events plus I got an interview with KPMG. They subsequently sent me out the letter of offer and contract last Friday and I signed it today.
Sohail K, Accounting Graduate, Auckland
I’m thrilled to let you know I have just resigned from my position at Council to take up a senior position at (a government department).
I believe the reason I received interviews for the position was purely down to having you rewrite my resume. The comments that I received were that it was professional, succinct and extremely easy to read. I seriously do not believe I would have received interviews if it wasn’t for the professional quality of my resume. It was the single best thing I did in my efforts to find another position.
Kay Douglas, Senior Manager, Adelaide
Your envelope came in the mail this afternoon.
I am very pleased with the CV but I also wanted to say I have looked at the Jobsearch Toolkit on the CD and it appears to be gold. I am just sorry I didn’t approach you a year ago.
Roy S, Business Manager, Browns Bay
This is to let you know that I am now employed and have an excellent payroll job. The "CV" that you prepared, worked well for me and out of the 3 positions I applied for (I got an interview with all of them) I took the job that suited me best.
Christine S, Payroll Clerk, Massey
WOW. This is incredible.
All I can say, is you have exceeded my expectations. I must be honest, I did not know what to expect in the beginning but the end product is exceptional and worth every dollar. Thank you so much.
Alex N, OH&S Consultant, Wollongong
Thankyou for what you have done to my CV. What an amazing difference.
In 2008 I spent $200 on someone who claimed to be a professional CV writer but all she did was change the fonts on and make some minor edits to what I had given her. And it didn’t work. I wasted 18 months pushing that CV to recruiters without result.
After all those months without success I was beginning to doubt myself. When I read your new draft for the first time I thought, “Is that me?” Of course it is! Special thanks for reminding me what a capable person I am.
You completely reworked my approach. When you interviewed me you managed to dig out lots and lots of my past achievements. I’d forgotten a lot of my successes and taken my strengths for granted.
I got an interview for a job within 24 hours of sending my new CV out. Fingers crossed.
Christine Morten, Medical Sales Specialist, Mairangi Bay
My resume was quite generic and in hindsight “flat” and I needed something that strategically focused on an Enterprise Architect position advertised by one of the world’s leading insurance companies.
My contract work has been somewhat scarce since the GFC and I knew that as a mature age candidate despite my depth of successful, senior international IT management experience, I needed a short, sharp and well presented resume that was going to “hit my mark”.
I’m extremely delighted see that your knowledge of the IT industry from your own successful record in senior Asia Pacific hi-tech marketing roles has confidently flowed through my resume - just what I needed!
Thanks – I’ve just accepted one small strategic contract and going to my 3rd interview with the targeted icon insurance business……….the rest is up to me.
Robin Adams, former Asia Pacific Services Manager for Compaq & Digital, Sydney
I am rapt with the professional profile you put together for me.
I’ve never needed a CV up to now, always able to generate new business through my existing contacts. Now as I seek to expand into new areas I needed something on paper that puts across what I do in a nutshell. My attempt ran to eight pages and still never really got to the point.
I love how you have provided so much detail about all the things I have done, yet still made the document short and easy to read. I’ve always known what I could do - and wouldn’t be shy to tell people about it – but sometimes you have to send the paper version first! You’ve presented it in such a way that I can send it to potential clients overseas and here, knowing the message is very clear, and I come across as professional and switched on.
Lloyd D, Consultant, Hillsborough
On Friday I was offered the position of Corporate Sales Executive for an up-market CBD cinema complex in the cultural end of Adelaide.
This is just great for me.
I wanted to let you know that the new resume did open new doors for me and believe it was key to getting my foot in the door with this one.
I have since referred two more people to Successful Resumes as your service was KEY to changing my career.
Thanks for all your help.
