Dear Victoria,

Just a quick note to say "Thank You" for your wonderful work. It's very professional and I am glad I got you to write up my CV.

 

I'll be sending it [the resume] through [to the recruiter] soon and shall await the outcome - hopefully it is a positive one.

 

Either way at least I have this done now for future offers.

 

Once again thank you. Have a good afternoon.

 

Kind regards

Hi guys,

Just to let you know I eventually ended up getting that job we applied for well over 12 months ago, it was a Secondment for me for 12 months.  It ended up being very messy due to current restructures within Railcorp and I left the position to return to Driving trains after just four months in the role.  However, your application and CV worked wonders; I would have no hesitation in recommending you guys to anyone.

The following is direct feedback received from a mining company about a professional resume Career Origin developed for one of our valued clients.  Needless to say, our client is wrapped!  If you are looking to enter the mining industry, you will face lots of high calibre competition.  Even more reason why you should have a competitive edge - an excellent resume!

 

 
Dear (name removed)

Thanks for sending through a copy of your resume.

I've had a good look over your resume for you and think it looks very professional and highlights your skills well. I can't suggest any way to improve it because it's great as it stands!

You'd be surprised how many people have resumes that aren't up to scratch... the fact that yours is good from the get go means you already have an advantage over a large number of other people who struggle to put together a good resume. 

Thanks

Regards

Hi Rebecca and team,

Just dropping a note to say that my resume investment well and truly paid off. I did not get the initial job which I applied for (being was a permanent position with my existing employer) My casual status meant I had 17 weeks a year of no pay during semester breaks). Being very disappointed at the time I sat back and took a good look at the place, then decided that the nepotism that existed was unhealthy and I would look for employment elsewhere.

During April I applied for 4 jobs and was successful with all. I then had to make a choice. I am now the Training Coordinator for the (company name removed), and also have picked up part time work for a home based job with another training company marking papers.

Each interview I attended I received a positive comment about the professional content and presentation of my resume.

Thankyou for all your help and good advice.

Kind regards

Tim and Rebecca,

 

Thanks for all the help and time you put towards my cover letter and selection criteria for the Graduate Leadership Program at my work. The document along with an online aptitude test I completed has ensured my acceptance  into the program. This program has approximately 20 positions out of a pool of 170 and only 3 graduates were accepted from my office. Thanks again. I would not have acheived this without your help. I apologise again that it was such short notice, But even so it was a great result.

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!

I would rate the services and professionalism displayed and delivered by all Career Origin staff as 10/10!

 

In December 2010 I had a professional resume and selection criteria developed.  Rebecca was very helpful and understood my requirements. She asked the right questions to obtain the right answers.  Victoria was also very polite, cooperative, patient and lovely phone manner.  I have referred one customer already and very happy to refer more. Could you please send me some business cards so that I can pass them on to my customers.

 

My resume now looks professional and my skills and experience are now formalised. Rebecca worked well under pressure as she did not have a lot of notice for my resume or selection criteria. I now have confidence to send my resume to any future employer.

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.

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.

From the moment I received the first copy of my resume I started to reapply for work. Before I used the new resume I had not been selected for an interview for any job but now with the Career Origin resume I have applied for about six positions and have been contacted for interview on three to four of these applications. Once again I have the deepest respect for Career Origin and the professional way they have arranged my resume to make it work for me.

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,

I was so close and will try again next year, especially considering it is such an competitive application process (over 1800 applicants).

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 an 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!

Dear Rebecca and team at Career Origin,
I just wanted to say a very big thank you to you and your team for my professional resume and for the wondeful support that was shown to me recently. Finding myself out of work for the first time in 16 years was very daunting indeed. With no resume to speak of, I took valuable advice from Belinda McLean from HR Focus who suggested I have my resume professionally prepared by Rebecca at Career Origin. Best advice i've ever had. Tina took initial call and got things moving along. Rebecca was in constant touch with me by phone and email to get my resume just right. I applied for 2 positions using my new professionally prepared resume and was accepted for both positions. Proof that it does work! I cannot thank you enough Rebecca. Not only for a fantastic resume but for your valuable time and the wonderful support you gave to me.

15th June 2009

Approximately 2 years ago I found myself unexpectedly unemployed. I had moved towards the Southern Highlands and therefore career opportunities were limited. I gained employment on a casual basis at a local service station which helped to pay the bills and fill in the gaps in my career path. I decided that I needed to rejoin the workforce on a full time basis and had applied for a position with a government agency and failed to meet their selection criteria. I had also applied for a non government job and again failed, so my confidence began to slide, as I felt unemployable and depressed. I was hitting rock bottom, with jobs getting tighter and lots of people applying for work, the competition became fierce.

 

My life experiences are quite diverse and my career has been noting short of interesting; however I didn't have the experience of writing letters and applications. I then found Rebecca and employed her assistance and expertise to apply for three government positions. To my absolute delight I gained an interview for all three applications and was offered a position with one. Rebecca gave me back my self esteem and confidence. She gave me choices which at one stage I felt I no longer had. I have recently applied for another position and believe that with Rebecca's help, I will have a much better chance of getting to the interview phase. Sometimes you just need a little (or a lot) of help. We all have experience either from work or life that have given us skills to be able to undertake a variety of jobs, however, I would always reccomend using the professionals at Career Origin to help sell those attributes. Rebecca did that for me and she can do it for you too.

 

Thanks Rebecca, your help and guidance is as always appreciated. My career prospects are much brighter due to you.

After receiving a redundancy, I have to admit I was so nervous about the whole job hunting process. I chose Career Origin as they assisted  with my daughters resume a couple of years ago with great success. I had never applied for a government position before and did not think they would be interested and to my absolute delight I received a call back for an interview! I would never have achieved this without Rebecca's assistance. My confidence has been boosted and I now feel ready to apply for many more positions.

I cannot speak highly enough of the service and the expertise provided in writing a professional resume which resulted in positive feedback from a range of recruiters. One particular Human Resource Manager called me saying that she wished more people would take the same approach in submitting quality resumes and cover letters. I would recommend Career Origin to anyone who is serious about seeing employment or a change in career direction.

Dear Rebecca,
I am writing to thank you for the resume and selection criteria that you did for me recently for a position that I was seeking at (Council name removed). Thought you might like to know that I reached the final 20 out of 280 applicants!! This was a great surprise as I have not worked in ten years due to raising a family and was a bit unsure if they would even consider me. The Contract Officer at Council informed me that both the resume and selection criteria was of exceptional standard and highlighted my skills and attributes very well and urged me to apply again if another position were to become avaliable as they were extremely impressed. I would not have made it that far without your diligence and professional manner and would not hesitate to recommend your company to anyone needing help. I know I will be back again. Once again, a very big thank you to you and the girls in the office.

Recently, I was retrenched from Suncorp and I attended a group workshop that was run by Rebecca Stewart of Career Origin. I had been to previous Interview Skills Workshop through an organisation provided by my former employer that was helpful but did not goas far in depth into the process as Rebecca did. Areas of the Interview process that were covered were; Common Interview Traps, Achievements and Interview Preparation, Interview Questions and Questions to ask at the nd of an Interview. Each section was discussed in depth and gave me a greater insight than I had before on what was required in terms of presenting my answers in interview questions, particularly to the behavioural questions. Rebecca presented the workshop in a personable and professional manner and I would have no hesitation in recommending her to others.

The resume prepared by Career Origin was so professional and specifically written that it gave me the opportunity to gain an administrative role combining my background experience in aged care and my desire to work within admin support services. I also received positive feedback from the recruitment agency at the time of my application.........Thank you for your application. It is presented beautifully and I will forward it onto the employer first thing in the morning.

 

As you are aware I was successful in gaining the position...Thanks again for your help.

CAREER TRANSITION WORKSHOP

 

A very informative and pleasant experience that has me thinking in a more positive way. The information provided was easy to take in, yet funny, personable and engaging. I now have more confidence and less fear in relation to the interview phase of the application.

Hi Rebecca.

 

Guess who has done well at an interview and been offered a role with (Govt Dep removed)..........Dawn E Carr.

 

Due to commence Monday 19th May and will be in Orientation for the first 2 days and then into the role.

 

Many thanks for your support and expert assistance to get me to an interview. I can now enrol and obtain Certificate VI Training and Assessment and finally get myself a career instead of being the jack of all trades and master of none.

 

There will be heaps to learn and lots of self improvement.

 

I would recommend your services to those like me who are time poor when addressing the selection criteria for government roles. The best thing I have done for myself the past 10 years has been contacting Career Origin (Pro Resumes).

 

Many thanks and kindest regards.

Thank you for your assistance with my application just prior to Christmas. I was one of 50 selected for an interview out of 550 applicants. As per the application word restriction, you only had 50 words for 3 of the questions and you did it. I then attended a group interview and a 3 panel interview and was successful in gaining a position. Thanks again.

I knew I was more than capable and that all the information I provided was100% true, but never did I realise just how much I was capable of and how much experience I had gained until I read the resume you prepared for me. I have sent it out now to a few potential employers and it has already opened up a few doors for me. For that I thank you.

Hi Rebecca,
I would like to thank you for your help in preparing my resume and selection criteria. The job that I applied for was completely out of my field but with your ideas and knowledge I was successful in obtaining a position with the Benevolent Society. My position incorporates picking up elderly clients and transporting them to our Cottage at Bexley where we organise activities including balloon tennis, magnetic darts, ten pin bowling with a soft ball and pins, bingo, singalongs, outings, BBQ's and much more. It is the most satisfying job that I have ever had. I would also like to thank you on your prompt replies to my many questions. I would not hesitate in recommending Career Origin to anyone.

I would like to inform you that the application you prepared was very impressive. As you were aware this role was advertised for internal applicants only but I was told about this by a friend. I got a phone call regarding the position; and the Manager said "I read your application again and again and I couldn't find out where you stated that you have been working for us. I wish you had as your application was perfect". The Manager wanted to interview me! Once again, thank you. I will need your help again very, very soon. Thank you and best regards.
