History of Successful Resumes Worldwide Group

Successful Resumes was established in Australia by John Little in the early 1990's after he sold his flourishing advertising agency which he had started in 1982. Seeking a new challenge in which to use his business knowledge, his experience employing and managing people, as well as his creative marketing expertise, after considerable research and analysis of employers' requirements and applicants' needs, he concluded that:

1. Resumes, only too often treated as a simple typing exercise, contained boring lists of historical task related data, and were totally lacking in dynamic and marketing focus, and consequently were basically ineffective at selling the applicant.
2. Resumes, to be successful needed to professionally analyse and individually market people's personal qualities as well as their strengths, their skills and their achievements.
3. There was the need for a strong professional resume service that could meet the needs of all people wherever they may be located.

After 18 years and with an ever expanding network of resume writers across Australia, John decided that the time had come to think about international expansion, especially in the USA and UK. So Successful Resumes America was born and also the UK business Successful CV UK specialists in curriculum vitae.

John has other commitments in the business world and while he was a member of the foundation board of management of The Australian Employers' Network on Disability, www.aend.org.au he now confines his role to that as an Ambassador. Additionally, from time to time, he is requested to sit on interview selection panels for government department positions.
