As a resume writer, evidence from former clients about my professionalism and results-based employment products is like gold.
“There aren’t enough stars on Google to express how awesome my experience was with Malcolm’s resume services! I applied for a job outside of my current field and enlisted Malcolm’s help as I struggle to write about myself and I needed someone who could put my experiences into a concise resume and cover letter…. Long story short, I got the job! I am now a month into my new career! If you’re looking for a cutting-edge resume look no further! Malcolm is your guy!” Julie Davies, SA
“My experience working with Malcolm King at Republic Resumes was highly professional. His ease of communication, prompt responses during the process was appreciated. He provided me with a well-structured, well composed resume ready for me to forward to potential employers all of which was very helpful and very much appreciated. I would highly recommend Malcolm to anyone who is looking for a personal approach when constructing a resume.” Luke V
“I’m a 60-year-old woman and I moved to Adelaide without a job. My resume up was six pages long as I’ve had quite a “chequered career” albeit with tertiary qualifications. I needed to consolidate this resume and reduce it to three pages but I had no idea how to do this. I searched on the Internet and found Malcolm King. I contacted him and he responded immediately. We chatted about my resume and what my strengths are and what sort of jobs I’m applying for. I sent him my resume in Word and over the course of a week he summarised it, exposed my strengths and presented me as a very credible applicant for any job in my field.
Since then, I’ve applied for three jobs and have attended an interview for two of them. I believe that the resume he prepared for me was a huge part of this success. Recently I applied for my 4th job, was granted an interview and won it. Malcolm has been a support to me as well throughout this time and always responds to emails. Thank you, Malcolm.” Prue Milligen
“I was fortunate enough to work with you last year in updating my resume for graduate employment. Pleased to let you know that based off our work together, I got four job offers from some highly sought after programs (Westpac Group, BHP, GHD and The Detmold Group).” Ben now works for Westpac in Adelaide
“Thanks for your brilliant resume, it was excellent.” Amanda, Wollongong.
“Thank you so much for your assistance with the resume. I really appreciate it – it looks fantastic!!” Ashley, Senior HR partner, Adelaide.
Another Republic Resumes success story
Josh sent his old resume to me. He had just finished his security guard qualifications in Adelaide and he wanted to work in the field.
Most of his previous work had been as an office cleaner and as a labourer. He had some good current tickets such as a White Card and a he had completed a Senior First Aid course.
I quoted him $240.00 for a rewrite and upgrade. He agreed and I started work on page one.
I bumped up his strong communication and negotiation skills. He had good administration skills and some years before, worked in IT.
These are all selling points for security guard positions and I included them in a summary.
Josh was also entering the field with a new qualification. That meant he had the latest skills and capabilities.
I asked him to get a short testimonial from a former client and I included that in the head of the resume. He had also won a team award for coming up with ideas on how to improve customer service. That went in on page one too.
In the career section, I listed some of his core duties but above them, I placed his good results, wins and achievements. So, when the recruiter turns to the career section, the first thing they will read is his accomplishments.
I updated referees at the end of page two. That took three drafts.
He lodged the resume and was picked up by a major security firm last week. He’ll take home about $47,000 over the next 12 months for a $240 investment.
Josh wrote me a small thank you email below:
“Just touching base. I managed to land work with Lima One after the interview went pretty well. So, that’s exciting. Cheers for the help!”
