Results focused writer for businesses and job seekers

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

I started my career as an administration assistant which included writing, editing and proofreading for 15+ years. It taught me to be process driven, well organised, adaptable, and efficient.

Years later, I started writing resumes for a living because when I was job hunting, I was getting interviews but not the jobs. Clearly, it was the writing part I was good at, so I decided to help job seekers by writing their resumes. This led me to several courses with Australian Writers Centre and I loved learning about the different types of writing.

Once I learned about copywriting, all the pieces of my career history fell into place. Copywriting interested me because it helps people get a result e.g. a job interview; a customer buying your product or service. I’ve always been interested in marketing and psychology, and copywriting combines these. As a result, this is how Words By Susan was born.
