Some of our satisfied clients

James Thomas, Adelaide

Astounding way with words and really made my resume into something amazing. I could not have been happier with the service provided and the professionalism displayed. Wouldn’t go anywhere else for Resume work. The resume Malcolm helped create played a big part in me getting a job that could lead to my dream career.

Amy Edwards, Australian Public Service, Canberra

Malcolm used a resume that I had already been using and developed it into a strong document that helped me to change fields from Retail to Human Resources. He highlighted my transferable skills and emphasised my degree in Human Resources. From this new resume and cover letter, I was accepted into the APS Human Resources Graduate program in Canberra.

Olena Romanova, Adelaide

An amazing professional and an expert in his field. As a TAFE graduate and career changer, I found Republic Resumes because of the good reviews. The instructions were easy to follow and the price was extremely good and 100% worth it. For the next three days we redrafted my resume again and again, until it was perfect. I cannot thank you more, Malcolm, for such a great job.

Sean Ronan, Barossa Valley

I’m now employed as a TM for an Adelaide based Telecommunications Business and all is going well. I’m very glad you had your input with my resume as it gave me extra confidence knowing that it was modified to reflect current requirements. It kept up my enthusiasm up which assisted me in securing my current position.

Chad Penglase

No fuss prompt professional service. Very easy to deal with.

Natasha Lockett

Malcolm was extremely professional and efficient. Yes, there are questions you need to provide answers for but the quicker you reply, the quicker your resume is tailored to your needs. Would highly recommend to anyone.

Nikita Lobo, Adelaide

After years of trying to break into Human Resources, I was recommended Republic Resumes. Malcolm was friendly, professional, quick to respond to any queries I had. His industry knowledge was valuable and he collaborated well with me to develop my cover letter and resume. Malcolm beautifully captured my transferable skills. He created a well-articulated and professionally tailored cover letter and resume, which landed me three interviews. I’m now working in my dream job and workplace as a Human Resources Coordinator!

Andrea Escobar, Brisbane

Thanks to the resume and cover letter that Malcolm tailored for me, I was able to land my dream job, which was really difficult for me to get as I am an international student trying to get a job related with my career in a pharmacy. Great, professional and fast service. Malcolm was always very nice and prompt. I definitely recommend Republic Resumes.

I highly recommend Malcolm and Republic Resumes. After having time away from the workforce to raise a family, my old resume was lacking in depth and job hunting felt to be an insurmountable task. However, Malcolm was professionally encouraging, highly responsive and his skilful approach to writing my new resume was the springboard I needed to get my current position as well as other job offers from Commonwealth departments. I am extremely grateful.

Allan Stenson, Adelaide

After many unsuccessful applications I contacted Malcolm to assist in redesigning my resume and cover letters. He provided a quality, professional service with very quick responses.

Thanks Malcolm!

Daniel Grech, Adelaide

After 18 years at IJF, I resigned in September and started a new job in October for a commercial builder called Mykra. It’s not the residential building I was originally looking for however this has turned out really well. I’m enjoying the change and learning so much. Thanks again for assisting in my journey!

I’ve never used a service like this before as I generally get promoted within the organisation of which I work, or I... apply for roles similar to what I had been doing in the past, so this was a huge step in asking someone to me build the perfect resume, and I can safely say, I was not disappointed. Malcolm was an absolute pleasure to deal with, very responsive and kept me up to date with the progress of my resume. His questioning technique is unbelievable as he makes you think about your previous roles and how you are able to transfer those skills in to the role in which you are applying. I will most certainly be using Malcolm again in the future, thank you again for your expertise and help in building my resume.read more

I was recommended republic resumes after I was looking to improve my resume to start looking for a career. I mainly... struggled with the right words to use and a good structure to showcase the right skills to employers. Even over the holiday season the responses were consistently speedy and all my resume and cover letter drafts were finalised in just three days. My resume and cover letter look fantastic and I look forward to using these to apply for work. The value for the price is fantastic. While looking online for other resume writers, the average price was between $400-$600 for all resumes while I was charged just $200 for an entry level resume and cover letter. Overall I’m incredibly happy with the work I received and I would definitely recommend this business to others!read more

I had been employed by the same company for 18 years and in that time had made good progression however with no formal... qualifications. When I decided it was time to make a career change, I needed to show my potential employees that my past on the job experiences could be an asset to their company. I found Malcolm through google search and reading reviews, I reached out and was happy when he squeezed me in to his already full schedule. Both being super busy at the time, Malcolm made the process easy asking the right questions via email generally completing each step quicker than he would initially advise. The new resume and cover letter were exactly what I needed and helped me gain a new position in the industry that I had set my sights on. Thanks again Malcom.read more

Malcolm was incredibly helpful. Having trawled the internet in search of an Adelaide based professional resume writer,... I came across his reviews and immediately sent through an email with my resume and cover letter. I emailed him late at night and had received a response by the time I woke up. Not only did I have a response, but he was kind enough to edit what I had provided and make further suggestions to suit the role I was looking at moving into. Not an easy task when you're looking at an unrelated traineeship following the completion of a trade qualification. Can't recommend him enough. Thank you, Malcolm.read more
