Want to land more interviews but your resume isn’t getting many responses?
I get it. Before I was a professional resume writer and looking for work, I was a bit worried about writing my own resume and cover letter.
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’ experience as a professional resume writer, I’ll write an engaging and persuasive resume and cover letter for you.

Hi, I’m Susan, your resume consultant
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.

Testimonials

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 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 worked wonders with my dull resume and turned it into a sparkling document that I can’t wait to use. Her feedback was helpful and fast, and she managed to get to the essence of what I actually did very quickly. 10 out of 10.
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!
Five stars! I had my resume created by Susan. Excellent communication, very thorough, and very impressed with the layout.
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.
I cannot thank you enough – the cover letter and resume are beyond expectation – brilliant.
I was impressed with the efficiency and precision of my resume, updated by Words By Susan. Susan is a perfectionist that has created a resume that will open new opportunities for me in the future, more so than had I composed it myself. I would thoroughly recommend her work to anyone either looking for work or seeking to advance their career.

What’s the cost if your current resume fails to impress an employer?
It’s more than just a financial investment; it’s an emotional investment in your time, your peace of mind, and your future income.

- Your cover letter can be used as a template for future jobs.
The investment in a resume and cover letter is a small price compared to the salary you’ll earn.
Can you really afford not to make this investment in your future?

Frequently asked questions
Why should I use a professional resume writer?
Wondering why you should choose 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.
With my expertise as a resume writer, I understand what employers and recruiters are looking for.
Let me tailor your resume to accentuate your strengths and make you stand out in the competitive job market.

Human expertise makes a difference.
I ask specific questions to extract your value, and use this information to help you stand out.
I understand what employers and recruiters want, and I keep up to date with current resume writing practices.
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.
