Positive: Professionalism, Quality, Responsiveness, Value Tanja thank you so much for the fast turnaround and also how well you updated my CV. I had a particular job advert I needed responses for and to update my CV at the same time. Tanja provided excellent customer service and contacted me within a day and worked to the tight timeframe I had. I would definitely use SR again and highly recommend Tanja herself. Thank you again.

I ordered the Gold Package which was a Resume and Cover letter. I would honestly rate it an easy 10/10. Not only was the resume and cover letter perfect but the Customer Service is what really blew me away. Literally a few minutes after making the order I was contacted and a resume plan was formulated. Thank You Tanja :)

This is well worth the investment. So if you are tossing up whether you should do it or not just pull the trigger. I dealt with Tanja and she was incredibly professional. She communicated thoroughly. Provided a timely turnaround. The final outcome was brilliant. Admittedly I would have never had the capacity to put that much time and effort in. It's crazy how someone who is writing about you can capture you better than you can yourself. Massive thanks to Tanja. Highly recommended Gympie Resume.
