What makes up a Successful Resume?

We do emphasise that Successful Resumes is not a typing service and we do not use commercial templates to create your resume.

• A dynamic layout and a professionally designed front cover are key elements of the visual impact needed for your resume to be successful in the battle to gain attention.
  
  
• Strategic development of your resume with the aim of injecting a marketing orientated approach to selling you and to maximising your potential of winning that interview in a competitive employment market.
• A personal profile because employers hire people based on more than just experience and skills, they are highly motivated by personal qualities and attributes especially when this information is presented in our unique and proven style.
  
  
• A highly readable, succinct writing style, enabling the employer to reach a positive decision to interview you without having to wade through numerous pages of rambling text.
  
  
• Your successful resume will be a powerful "selling tool" as opposed to being just the traditional list of employment and task related details created by most people.
  
  
• We pay special attention to grammar and syntax as well as to the tense and tempo of the language. Our Resumes are written in a neutral, third person style (widely considered by most employment industry specialists to be the most dynamic and credible style for Resumes).

• Interview Advice is included with every Successful Resumes package and is a professionally written summary of how to handle the interview process with advice on how to prepare yourself.
  
  
• If copies of references are available, we may use ‘excerpts’ from them within the body of your resume. We have found this to be a highly effective marketing and image building strategy because it brings the positive opinions of past employers into clear and dynamic focus.

Each successful resume is a carefully personalised document designed by highly experienced graphic designers and written by caring professionals who have many years of experience in business as employers, employment industry specialists, public relations consultants, teachers and copywriters.

Each document results from a process that involves careful consideration of all the facts and of the environment in which you are seeking employment.

At Successful Resumes we believe you cannot afford to simply put your career potential in the hands of people who are going to just 'type up' your resume.

Contrary to the opinion of some people who purport to be resume writers, most employers will not be motivated by a traditional 'humdrum list' of boring dates and task related facts. See our Testimonials Page.

You have a unique opportunity to make the right first impression and that's what we do for our clients; first time, every time.
