Results focused writer for job seekers

My journey to copywriting has had a few twists and turns along the way.

I began my career as an administration assistant, where I spent over 15 years writing, editing, and proofreading. This experience taught me to be process-driven, well-organised, adaptable, and efficient.

Years later, while job hunting, I realised I excelled at getting interviews. It became clear that my strength was in writing, so I began writing resumes for others. This newfound passion led me to several courses at the Australian Writers’ Centre, where I discovered my love for various types of writing.

Once I learned about copywriting, everything clicked into place. Copywriting fascinated me because it helps people achieve tangible results, such as landing job interviews or attracting customers. My interests in marketing and psychology aligned perfectly with copywriting, leading to the creation of Words By Susan.
