Struggling to secure interviews with your current resume?
I get it. Before becoming a professional resume writer, I was a bit worried about writing my own resume and cover letter when job hunting.
Because I didn’t know how to write an effective resume that would get me interviews.
But without a solid resume, all my hard work of applying for jobs was a big waste of time. So I invested in a professional resume writing course.
Since then, most of my resumes have landed me interviews.
And now, with 15+ years of experience as a professional resume writer, I’ll write an engaging and persuasive resume and cover letter for you.

Writing your resume doesn’t have to be overwhelming
I know how frustrating it can be.
Writing a resume takes time and effort. You need to gather your work experience, figure out how to present it, and make sure everything is formatted correctly.
Plus it has to be error-free and include the right keywords to get noticed by employers.
But finding that balance between detail and clarity isn’t easy.
The biggest challenge? It takes up a lot of your time. The day can slip away as you work through multiple drafts, trying to get everything just right.
Instead of losing your weekends to writing your resume, why not let me take care of it?
I’ll create a polished, professional resume that highlights your strengths and experience. You’ll be ready to impress employers – without the stress and hassle.

Hi, I’m Susan, your resume writer
I’m Susan Smyth (pronounced sm-eye-th).
And I get it. I’ve been there, too.
Early in my career, I was constantly applying for jobs.
Sending out dozens and dozens of applications.
Wondering what I was doing wrong.
Not getting phone calls for interviews.
It left me frustrated and I didn’t know what to do.
But when I discovered how to write an effective resume, I started landing interviews.
The sense of relief was amazing.
With 15+ years of experience as a professional resume writer, I know what employers and recruiters want.
I’ll market you as the best candidate with an engaging, value-packed resume and a persuasive cover letter.
Whether you’re going back to work, considering a career change or looking for a promotion, I can help you.
Why?
Because I love helping people get their dream job.
When my clients tell me they got an interview and landed the job, it makes my heart sing.
It’s a pleasure and a privilege to make a positive difference in people’s lives.
“Price is what you pay. Value is what you get.”

Testimonials
Full names and images withheld for client confidentiality.
Susan was extremely professional and knowledgeable. From the beginning of my work with her, I knew I was in good hands. She takes an enormous amount of pride in producing a quality product and really takes the time to know her clients and present them in the best possible light. I’d recommend her resume writing services to anyone needing a professional, comprehensive resume.
Thanks Susan. I really appreciate the quick turnaround and quality of the writing.
Susan is an excellent resume writer who is a pleasure to work with. She took the time to really understand my experience and skills. The resume she wrote for me is perfectly tailored to the type of work I’m looking for. I highly recommend Susan.
Susan has made the process of my cover letter and resume extremely easy because of her ability to communicate effectively, prompt time management and dependable delivery of promises. She is a lovely woman who is intelligent and displays great discretion.
I used Susan’s resume writing services and so has my sister-in-law this year. We both got interviews.
I engaged Susan Smyth to help me update my resume. It was such a great help. Not only did Susan improve my resume to emphasise my key strengths, she also highlighted the need to better communicate my key achievements. Susan provided a quick turnaround and efficient service.
Susan Smyth is a powerhouse!
She’s just helped one of my school mum friends [Natasha B.] nab a dream job (and she was shortlisted for two others) based on Susan’s resume expertise and cover letter prowess!
You have done one marvellous job making me look great. The cover letter you’ve written is fantastic. What an amazing talent you have.
I engaged Susan to assist me with re-writing my resume. She provided a prompt and well researched service to a professional standard. I wouldn’t hesitate to engage her services in the future!
I was fortunate to find Susan through a friend’s network. I found Susan to be friendly and insightful with re-writing my resume and cover letter. Susan’s writing style was very complementary to my professional history as she took the time to understand my skills and achievements that would best suit the positions I will be applying for.
My new resume and cover letter are such a vast improvement, and that is why if anyone is seeking assistance with their resume or cover letter, I would not hesitate in recommending Susan.
Guarantee
I can’t guarantee you a job because of the many factors influencing the application process.
What I can guarantee is high-quality, tailored documents that highlight your skills, experience, and achievements.
You’ll have polished, professional materials that you can edit and reuse to support your next career move with confidence.
Your investment
I know what you’re thinking.
How much will this cost?
But let me ask you a question.
How much will it cost you if your resume doesn’t connect with employers?
Recruiters spend just 6-8 seconds reviewing each resume.
If yours fails to impress, that could mean months of silence, countless missed opportunities,
and thousands in lost potential income.
If you stay stuck in your job search for an extra 3 months at a $75,000 salary —
that’s $18,750 in earnings you’ll never get back.
Are you willing to take that risk?
Investing in a professionally crafted resume now will pay dividends in the future.
You’ll be able to stand out from the competition, increase your interview chances,
and have peace of mind knowing your resume is working as hard as you are.

Frequently asked questions
Why should I use a professional resume writer?

If your current resume isn’t securing those sought-after interviews, it’s time for a change.
Modern resumes are more than just a chronological history – they’re strategic marketing documents.

As a result, I craft engaging and persuasive resumes to attract employers’ and recruiters’ attention.

I also offer valuable advice on the job search process, job applications, and interviews.

What is ATS?
Applicant tracking systems (ATS) are software programs that scan resumes for keywords. They search for specific skills, training, and professional experience. Even before a person looks at a resume, ATS software chooses which ones advance to the next stage. Some formatting styles are difficult to read by ATS software. All resumes I write are ATS-friendly and keyword optimised, ensuring you’re set up for success in the application process.
What's the process?
Contact me to let me know which package you need. I’ll invoice you and after you’ve paid, I’ll email you a questionnaire to complete. I’ll use your information to create a resume to showcase your value and expertise. You’ll receive a draft within 3-5 business days. You have one (1) round of revisions to make any changes. After the final amends are made, I’ll email all documents in Word and PDF.
I need my resume urgently. Can you help me?
If my schedule allows it, I can. I’ll write your resume and cover letter within three days, but you’ll be charged a rush fee of 25%. This does not include LinkedIn profiles or key selection criteria.
Can we meet in person?
I’m an online business in Perth, Western Australia, so I only work remotely.
However, being an online and phone-based service, I provide professional resume writing services to clients Australia-wide.
You can still expect the same personalised and effective service, no matter where you’re located.
