Thankyou to your team for your assistance with my application for Taronga Zoo.  This is my dream role and it has proven difficult to break into this industry in a Government role due to the competition and limited number of opportunities.  I have made it through the first stage based on my written application.  There were 340 applicants culled down to 152!  I am one of the lucky 152! 

Thanks again for your assistance!

Hi Rebecca,

Just to let you and your team know I got the job at (Council name removed). I start 9th May and at this stage even though it's only temporary for 3 months, I am confident it will lead to more opportunities in the future. Anyway, I achieved my goal of getting away from shift work and back into a routine.

So thank you and I'll be in touch.

Kind Regards, Trish

Dear Rebecca and team,

I wish to sincerely thank you for all the great work.  What I have invested in your services has paid off and will continue to do so for many years to come.  After a long career within the telecommunications industry, I was faced with redundancy, which was also an opportunity to make a change.  I requested your expertise in preparing a professional resume and Government selection criteria for a much sought after management level position with RailCorp.  I was wrapped when I reached interview stage and engaged your services for Interview Coaching.  Now, 6 weeks later, I have successfully been appointed the role and cannot thank you enough!  All the great work from your team and the one-on-one coaching with you, Rebecca, has definately paid off.  I have already referred your services to many family members, friends and colleagues.

Dear Rebecca,

I would like to say a big thank you to all of you guys and your team.  I have had a total of 6 Interviews during the past 2 months and 4 of them have been in Goverment hospitals. Due to your great work in writing my resume, selection criteria and the interview coaching, I have now successfully gained a role in the Food Service Department in Concord Hospital.  My family was so happy with the outcome and they are also thanking you for the service you have provided. From the 50 applicants, 11 candidates were interviewed and only 1 got the job and I am the one who got it!  I will be starting work this coming Monday.  Thank you very much for providing the best service.  I was so pleased with the great job that you have done.

Dear Bec and Team,

I just received a call from the Appeal Board who told me I won and will retain my position as Supervisor.  Thank you for including me in your success stories.  You haved played a big part in my success for the past 3 years.  If it wasn't for your help in providing professional documents and career advice, I would not have had a clue where to start.  So thank you so very much for your help and I will tell others of your service.

Hi Rebecca and Staff,

Just thought I would tell you thankyou for all your hard work. I finally got work with the National Trust as a Bush Regenerator, which is exactly in line with my chosen career path. I just wanted to say it was so nice to have my professional resume in front of my interviewer and feeling very proud.

Sandra Bullen - Campbelltown, NSW

Dear Rebecca and staff

Thankyou for all the hard work and support over the past couple of years in setting up my resume and government criteria, each time you have successfully gained me a government interview. All thanks, as I am now employed as a public servant. I must say I will be certainly recommending your services as they were done in a professional manner. After the first interview I came to you wondering where I went wrong. After discussing the matter I agreed to one of your coaching sessions which I felt was the key to being successful for this position and gave me such confidence. Did you know there were over 100 applicants and only 1 position, which is now mine. I have learnt so much from your company and would be more than happy to recommend in the future. My family also thanks you and your team for the support and caring phone calls. My wife said that she felt I was a valued client, not just a statistic. Regards,

Kevin Woods - Seven Hills, NSW

Hi Rebecca ,

I would like to thank you for your help in preparing my Resume. The job that I applied for was completely out of my field but with your ideas and knowledge I was successful in obtaining the desired role.  It is the most satisfying job that I have had. I would also like to thank you on your prompt replies to my many questions. I would not hesitate recommending Career Origin to assist with your job applications.

Tony Costa - Miranda NSW

Thank you to the team at Career Origin for the effort you guys put in toward my recent WorkCover application. Your training team provided me with great knowledge and experience for the interview. I made it all the way to interview, however, it seems my qualifications were not matched closely enough. I was so close and will try again next year, especially considering it is such an competitive application process (over 1800 applicants). I am looking forward to receiving your professional service toward my application next year. Once again, please accept my personal thanks and also convey my sincere thanks to your wonderful team of staff. Will see you again next year.

Narain Reddy, Prospect, NSW

Hi Rebecca, 
Just want to give a huge thank you to the team at Career Origin. The professional resume you created for me was definitely instrumental in my securing such a quick job placement. Thank you again for all your expert advice and hard work.

Denise Gee, Harrington Park, NSW

I recently came across a Government job that I wanted to apply for. While researching and investigating how to address a 'Selection Criteria' I came across Career Origin. I can not speak highly enough of the services this company provides. They systematically went through the selection criteria, assisting me through consultation and years of experience in developing a well thought out and detailed 'Claim for the Position', updated my resume to reflect all the experience and skills that I had and even provided me with excellent interview techniques through workshops and personal coaching. The service was just so helpful and very professional. I am happy to recommend any of the services this company provides to anyone needing assistance to land that new job!'

Helen Boulais - HARRINGTON PARK, NSW

The personal coaching session I had with Belinda improved my nerves immensely and that it is something that will stick with me for life. The resume was fantastic and resulted in a promotion. The sevice I recieved was professional and friendly and I cannot thank you enough.
