I would highly recommend Yeppoon Resume. Tanja, my writer, was very knowledgeable and understands resumes from a recruiters perspective. Tanja did a complimentary review for me initially and then gave me a great resume and cover letter to follow. Great service, thanks guys!

Cannot speak highly enough about my new resume and cover letter. Tanja has done an amazing job. I haven’t needed a resume for 26 years as I’ve been with the same employer but due to the current situation with COVID-19 I’m out there having to get back into the game. The advantage of Tanja writing my resume is that she has a background in HR and understands what looks good and the importance of making an impact with key words. Tanja also helped me apply for a job with that required specific targeted responses. Many thanks great work and an effortless and seamless process.
