There are a lot of dodgy online resume writers in Australia and Adelaide has its fair share. A couple are based in Melbourne, one is in Tasmania and the other – if you can believe this – is in Pakistan!
Republic Resumes gets its clients short-listed for work.

Death to the Copy and Pasters
Adelaide is infected with dodgy resume writer ‘Copy and Pasters’. Use these shonks and you’ll burn $100 notes.
Below is a real life example. Note something curious? This is a position description rather than a list of duties with achievements set against them. It’s hard not to laugh over sentences such as “Showing industry proficiency to successfully work with tools…”
