Letters of Praise to Successful CV

"For me, Successful CV's key value add was the ability to write a CV designed to attract and hold the attention of the reader - to add 'hooks' to ensure it stands out from the mountain of CVs sitting on the HR manager's desk."

"Successful CV quickly understood my employment development needs and produced an excellent career marketing CV that is already helping me win job interviews.  The professionally written CV and cover letter is proving to be a very worthwhile investment.  Overall, a very positive experience.”

Senior Manager, Financial Services

"Simon provided a programme of coaching support at a time I was looking to develop in my role and explore career options for the future. He has helped me to clarify my direction offering suggestions and learning that were insightful, pragmatic and practical, thank you."

Janet Doyle, Office Manager

"Thank God for that! A smart, professional resume that reflects "me", what I've done, and what I'm about. The interview process was a critically important step and one that made me realize I was dealing with a person who was genuinely interested to understand me and my situation. I'm glad a Google search resulted in me finding Successful Resumes America."

K. C. Marketer, Manager & Administrator

“My Successful Resumes experience was fantastic.  My new resume is a huge improvement.  My struggle had been that anyone who was in the same profession for the same length of time as I should have the same skill sets and work experience. What I needed was a resume that set me apart from all those other applicants, a resume that told the recruiter or potential employer who I was.  The first week I had it in my hands potential opportunities started showing up.  When I looked at that resume, I would hire me! ”

Karin Gehm Barrett, HR Professional

""I wrote my first resume  with help from a coach but I wasn’t getting offers.. When I found a job I wanted, I decided that I had to have a more effective resume. I found the Successful Resumes website and contacted Successful Resumes. We had a good telephone call lasting about 45 minutes and they had a better feel for me in that time than my coach had in three two hour meetings. Within 5 days, he sent me a draft which covered considerably more ground in a briefer space than my old resume. It captured my strengths without boasting, highlighted my competencies and presented me highly effectively to future employers. Within another three days we had a final copy. In addition to this, they helped me with my cover letter  and all of this was done for about 5% of the cost of my coach. The Resume was very effective in getting me interviews and now  I have a job in a new area., Reinventing yourself isn’t easy, but . the professional at Successful Resumes knew how to  highlight my transferable skills in a way that was really dynamic.  I’m sure without that new resume I would still be searching..

"Seeing the SCV ideas for my resume and job application develop was a positive and exhilarating experience. I now have a great looking resume and letter that I am proud to send out and don't feel it will let me down or short sell me. Thank you, it was great working with you and fun too. "

"Thank you for taking care of my personal resume in such a prompt and professional manner. All I can say is you do fantastic work and know how to bring out the best! The group I am working with in Hong Kong and China reviewed my resume and said they admire the format and content. It is a pleasure to have met you and I sincerely thank you for a job well done. Keep up the excellent work."

Jerry Kaiser, Director of Sales - Asia Pacific / India

"I just thought I would send you an email to let you know I got the job as Training Consultant, and will be relocating soon. I was called within two hours of them receiving my resume, and when they called me  for an interview they said they hoped I would be as good in person as I appeared on paper. Thanks again."

"I was very pleased with the end result, and the fact that you did not merely write what I had given you verbatim, but that you re-structured it so that it was much more eye-catching and professional. The proof of this is that several employment agencies remembered my resume as soon as I mentioned my name. They said that they had seen many examples of Resumes which had been professionally written, but that mine was by far the best presented.

As soon as I began to send out the new resume I noticed far more positive and encouraging responses to my job applications, and within a short time I landed a new position, as National Distribution Manager for a large chemical manufacturer. So, if I need my resume updated or re-written in the future, I know where I'll be going!! "

Paul Petoud

"I have just got the first job I applied for using your resume and cover letter.. it was a really good investment for me. I would like to tell you how much I appreciate your efforts in writing and designing an excellent resume and letter package, I also found the interview tips brochure very useful. I would recommend you to anyone."

Quyen Tran

"Approximately 6 months ago you prepared Resumes and covering letters for my brother and I. We decided to use your services, to assist both of us in obtaining employment in the Business Services division of one of the "Big 6" Chartered Accounting firms.

Out of 13 Resumes sent, to both Chartered and commercial firms, I received 12 responses, 9 interviews and 6 job offers from firms such as KPMG, Ernst & Young and Coopers & Lybrand. At the other extreme, my brother sent one resume to only one of the Big 6 firms, who immediately offered him the position of Senior Accountant in their Private Business division. I believe your skill in the preparation of the resume and its actual wording was invaluable in the process of obtaining employment with these prestigious firms. "
