I had Tanja write my personalised cover letter and resume, I cannot fault their quality and I'm hugely impressed it was worth every dollar. I'm just trying to make a career change and I feel this resume and cover letter were the missing link between me getting an interview or missing out. So well done to the team at Joondalup resumes and a personal shout out to Tanja.

I moved to Australia 2.5 years ago. After feeling stagnated in my job, I started to look at my resume again and attempted to update it. After realising it was extremely outdated, I enlisted the help of Perth Resume. Tanja was great, very prompt at replying to any queries I had and returned an updated resume, cover letter and LinkedIn profile within 3 business days. I must say the documents look great. Highly recommended.
