We do what we can for local international applicants but they do themselves no favours by not looking at the Republic Resume fee structure before contacting us or replying to our quotes.
There is a tendency by some to simply use us as a free resume assessment bureau. I consider these people just another form of spam and we are paring back that service.
While we do provide assessments, this is predicated on the prospective client assessing our services and paying for and using our expertise.
Local internationals on various work visas often don’t read the Republic Resumes website and don’t know that we work online.
For example, all clients must have access to a computer with Word, email and the ability to write basic English.
Not reading the fee schedule before contacting us much like entering a marketplace with no idea of the cost of anything.
It’s important to know initially, if fee-wise, we are for right you.
That way you won’t waste our time and yours.
The failure to reply to the quote, after we have assessed the resume and written a comprehensive email on how we would improve the document, is a failure of professionalism.
We don’t mind if clients knock back a quote. We won’t be offended. But they should tell us.
That way we can manage the client workload and make sure everyone is happy.
Disappearing into the void demonstrates a lack of professionalism and it is one reason why international job seekers don’t get short-listed for jobs.
