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.

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.

Thanks Malcolm!

After 18 years at IJF, I resigned in September and started a new job in October for a commercial builder called Mykra.

It was the first time I was using a professional resume writer but Malcolm made the process really smooth. He asked... questions that I had never thought of putting in my resume and really brought out the key achievements and tasks that I am or was doing. I’m really satisfied with the final draft - as it showed the depth of my experience and skills, which I'd say was not easy due to nature of my previous/current experience. Turnaround time was really fast and communication with Malcolm was with minimal hassle. Overall great experience and I would definitely recommend him.read more

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.

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
