The Friday caller
There’s often a story with the Friday caller and it's not just the restrained panic in their voice. Resume writers all over the world get them and they know exactly what the prospective client wants. They want a resume (and usually a targeted cover letter) written for...
RBA’s dodgy economic forecasts – apply for jobs now
As a former labour market researcher and writer, the latest RBA economic forecasts were very upbeat considering most of our CBD’s are deserted (especially Sydney and Melbourne) and travel, hospitality and the airlines are comatose. RBA Top Dog, Phillip Lowe predicts...
So you want to hire a resume writer?
Getting people interviews and jobs, knowing the local job market and employers, good word of mouth, solid Google reviews and contacts with SA’s recruiter networks, keeps me busy. But I’ve always got time to give people some inside tips from the trade. Unlike me...
RBA: raise the dole permanently
The RBA’s top dog, Dr Phillip Lowe, said this week, that as a society, “…what level of support do we want to provide to people who don’t have a job? … my own view is that some increase is justifiable.” The Reserve Bank governor said, “It’s not a macroeconomic...
The writing life
Did I ever tell you the story about the time an unemployed resume writer who wanted me to write her resume for a job as a resume writer? I said, “Sure, for 15 per cent of your first year’s pay.” Oddly, I never heard from her again. In America, top resume writers will...
ANZ job ads rise again
One reason why I'm so busy is the ANZ Job Ads rose for an eighth straight month in January. Resume writers rub their hands when job ads rise. The NAB’s employment index also improved dramatically in the December business survey. Let’s start popping the champagne corks...
Do that practical placement or internship
As an Adelaide resume writer, I work on quite a few graduate student resumes from the three publicly funded universities. If you’re a local or international student and you’ve graduated without doing practical placement or an internship, the chances of getting a job...
Are resumes dying?
As a resume writer, I like this story by blogger Mat McGuinness, who reckons resumes and CVs are a thing of the past. In some ways, they are. They’ve got maybe five to ten years left as a going concern. It’s hard to say. The main reason is most are boring. They’re eye...

Disability sector needs 120,000 workers
When jobs are hard to get, don't forget the disability employment sector. When Shane White lost his job making fly screen doors during the pandemic last year, he enrolled in a JobReady program, which offered people with no prior disability experience, seven days’...
Part time and casual jobs skyrocket: Roy Morgan
Part time and casual employment is skyrocketing. Not good if you want more work. Most professional resume writers don’t know or care about unemployment data. I do. How important is getting a job? It feeds the family, puts a roof over one’s head, pays the bills and...
SA’s public universities get an ‘F’ for professionalism
As a resume writer, it’s no wonder some of SA's university graduates – both international and domestic – have trouble getting a job because many can't write or they were enrolled in areas where there were no jobs. They were treated as cash cows. The standard of SA's...
New resume FAST TRACK service
I created the Fast Track system (see homepage) for those who want a resume in 48 hours. Pay a little more and get a quicker service with the same high quality. If you need a resume in 48 hours and you’ve got an old resume, write FAST TRACK in the header and email it...
How to create a LinkedIn site
Like in the old song, 'Stairway to Heaven', there are two paths you can go by in this article on creating LinkedIn sites. For my money, I’d follow the Hootsuite link. For those with no idea, I’ve created a basic ‘How to’ guide below. At Republic Resumes, I’ve been...
Raise the Dole
As a resume writer working across SA but especially the northern and western suburbs of Adelaide, I know how hard it is for people to survive on the unemployment benefit. I hear their stories everyday. That’s why the Australian Council of Social Services is again...
Resume writers – the new miracle workers
There’s a perception that professional resume writers can magically get people jobs. The truth is that the very best resume writers working in partnership with suitably experienced and credentialed clients, do get people jobs. It’s a team effort. Unfortunately – and...
Employment is looking up (sort of)
Pollies and their spin doctors love statistics. I should know. I worked as a media adviser for five years in Canberra and Melbourne. As an Adelaide resume writer, I’m fascinated by the recent ABS employment figures. It’s once in a lifetime stuff. I write hard-hitting...
More Republic Resume clients getting jobs
There's nothing more satisfying for a resume writer to see clients get jobs. These people came to me, trusting that I'll help them find work and I didn't let them down. As a former executive in the Department of Employment in Canberra and as the head of the RMIT...
Even more great reviews from Adelaide resume clients
These happy Adelaide client reviews are from the last six weeks. If I can get people short-listed for work during Covid-19 - one of the worst recessions in Australia's history - then I must be doing something right. Doing it right is having 30 years experience as a...
More great reviews for Adelaide’s Republic Resumes
Reviews for resume writers are their bread and butter. If you're not getting people short-listed for jobs, your taking the client's money for scribbling. The economy will slowly pick up over 2021 and I will ensure that my clients get those jobs. Andrea Escobar,...
