Carolyn completely transformed my resume and gave it a total 'Wow' factor. I received great feedback from people about it and I start my new role in less than two weeks, so I'm certainly a happy customer. Carolyn gathered all the pertinent data and positioned it brilliantly to tell my story. She was fast, efficient and professional and I have already recommended her to others.

I just briefly looked through the documents and must say I'm impressed with how you've crafted the story. It's what I've always had in my head, but was never able to articulate it in such a clear and crisp way. Thank you so much for your excellent work on this project. I couldn't be happier with the final result. I really appreciate the quick and professional follow-ups you've provided. Also, many thanks for the additional resources.

I had the fantastic opportunity to avail Carolyn's executive resume writing services. She just put your thoughts and achievements fabulously in your resume. She is very dedicated with her clients be it resume writing or even helping you out with small details to make a long lasting impact with your resume. She is very committed and has always kept to her timelines and is very approachable. She is always available for a conversation with her clients. I would definitely recommend Carolyn for her resume writing skills and would love to work with her again in the near future.

I join [name withheld] in a weeks' time 😊. In the past six weeks, I have been pinged through LinkedIn at least once a week by recruiters in the industry. It is an awesome feeling to finally be in a position to turn down jobs! A number of people in [name withheld] have approached me for my secret sauce for getting a job. Of course you have come up in my many conversations. [name withheld] just mentioned that she is about to commence working with you on her resume and LinkedIn.

After you created my resume, I have landed my dream job today as HACCP Coordinator. It all happened because you put so much effort into my resume. I seriously want to thank you.

Carolyn has an empathy and deep understanding of the new age job market, its competitive nature and the need to define individuals by achievement and the value they offer. Her unique ability to weave the story of a candidate's achievements and clear communication skills set her apart from most resume writers. But the most prevalent attribute that Carolyn brings is her commitment to her clients, working to meet difficult deadlines, following up with improvements, and ensuring that she remains the trusted advisor to her clients.

I am very happy to recommend Carolyn to anyone requiring assistance with a resume, cover letter or employment application. Not only is Carolyn extremely adept in this area with wonderful communication and presentation skills she demonstrated great insight regarding the current requirements of recruiters and potential employers. She is a very lovely person who takes a very genuine interest in her clients and is an example to us all of how customer service should be. Working with Carolyn made the task of showcasing my skills and experience very easy thanks to her professionalism, commitment and dedication to the task. The finished result was perfectly tailored for my purposes and I would not hesitate to engage Carolyn again or to recommend her services to others.

Having been in the same job for the last 8+ years the thought of producing my resume was extremely daunting for me - until I found Carolyn. Carolyn was simply outstanding. Dealing with Carolyn was seamless, prompt and to put it simply - just so easy! When I received my completed resume, I was totally overwhelmed with how Carolyn had captured not only my strengths and competencies, but amazingly she captured the essence of me, who I am as a person - what I represent as my 'own brand'. I couldn't recommend Carolyn highly enough to anyone needing their resume created from scratch, or to have their resume revamped, you will not be disappointed.

I must express the professionalism and attention to detail when working with Carolyn. I could see in the end result, the time and effort that was put into the content for my resume. I would certainly recommend dealing with Carolyn. The end result was certainly worth it for me.

WOW! When I read the resume you created for me it brought a tear to my eye. Seeing myself on paper was quite overwhelming. Thank you so much. I am very happy.

I engaged Total Resumes to write a professional resume on my behalf and to say I was impressed is an understatement. My employment history was dull and I didn't believe that I had achieved anything outside of my job description. When I read my resume for the first time I was amazed. I would have hired myself on the spot!! I highly recommend Carolyn to anyone looking for further their career. Her resumes are 5 star and get results.

Jane, HR ManagerWagga Wagga NSW

I just wanted to say thank you once again for the wonderful resume and letter you created for me. I applied for a management position with ***** **** and I'm over the moon to let you know that not only was I selected for interview, but I got the job. YAY go me!! The store owner said that my resume was the best she has ever seen and that she knew she wanted to meet me as soon as she read my application. That's saying something for someone that has only ever had 2 jobs. I can't thank you enough. I will be recommending you to everyone I speak to.

Anna-Belle, Retail ManagerPerth WA

I highly recommend Total Resumes to anyone in need of a quality resume. I had been a chef with the one company for 12 years and was looking for a career change. Working with Carolyn made the process simple. She produced an outstanding resume for me that highlighted things that I hadn't even thought of. When faced with the challenge of applying for jobs that were using my current skills but very much outside my expertise I had no idea where to start. When I attempted to write my own resume I got as far as my name and address but had no idea what to write next. I am pleased to say that I now have confidence in my skills and experience and my new resume has enhanced my career.

I engaged with Carolyn to create my resume. I was moving interstate and had not had the need for a resume for the past twenty eight years. Carolyn compiled all of my information to create a resume that was perfectly suited to my needs. I was able to gain employment soon after my relocation and was fortunate enough to secure the position I was after. I would recommend Carolyn for anyone who needs their resume to be updated or completed.

Thank-you so much for your stellar effort. I am absolutely thrilled with the documents. I am blown away by the service I have received. I cannot believe the overwhelming support and professionalism you have demonstrated. Carolyn, I honestly thought customer service and individuals that care about their work as much as I do were a thing of the past. Thank you so much for proving me wrong. You have not only restored my confidence in customer service and pride in one's work, but you have also more importantly restored the confidence in myself with your beautifully constructed documents. I cannot thank you enough.

Your brand map moved me and brought a tear to my eye! In fact this whole process with you has been so cathartic! When a company says goodbye to you so abruptly it does hit hard and hurt and makes you doubt who you are and what you have achieved.
Filling in your template reminded me of all that I have achieved and the positive impact I have had on others, and then to read the New Me on the brand map has continued to help me come out the other side with only positive thoughts and feelings. THANK YOU!!!

Your plan to initially focus on me in the way you have done in this draft is spot on. Let me work my magic now, and we together, I know will shine!!

In reality, your information gathering document was invaluable to me as it gave me the jolt I needed to realise who I am and what I have to offer. You helped me far more than recompiling my resume, and I am indebted to you for that realisation. Thank you so much!!

Ian O’HanlonIO, Global Operations Executive

The feedback was that my resume stood out from the rest - it was very well received, and so that was an initial step in the right direction. I was pretty nervous before the interview and settled my nerves by rereading my resume and answers to the selection criteria. This helped focus my attention on the good I had done over the last 21 years.
When I went in, I was able to just be myself, and I was happy that I had presented myself in the best manner possible. I was thrilled last week to hear that the board had ratified the principal’s decision to give the job to me.
I really want to thank you for the tremendously professional resume you produced for me. The questionnaire was quite thorough and really helped me to focus on my achievements, something I certainly hadn’t done much of. I love the final product and felt honoured to send it in with my application.
Once again, my sincerest thanks, and I hope that all your next clients come away with the sense of accomplishment that I now feel.

Hi Carolyn,

I know we haven’t quite finished this yet - but I thought I’d let you know the good news that I’ve been successful getting a new role, a Head of Technology and Innovation that’ll report to the CEO of (Name Witheld) a Mental Health and Disability-Support NFP.

I genuinely believe that your work on these resumes made this happen. To be honest, I have been very successful getting interviews with this resume and ended up turning down two other roles for this one!

Over the last ten years, I have spent a small fortune on my resume and used many companies worldwide in pursuit of a person that takes the time to really understand me and my achievements in the specialist world of financial services across two continents.

Until now, no one has been able to articulate and properly capture my achievements, capability entirely, and importantly my leadership style in a resume, so it tells a story about the person

I recently had the first draft of a resume that captured all the things that have been missing for many years.

A huge thank you to Carolyn Whitfield ★ Australia's Only Certified Career Storyteller

Carolyn is THE BEST resume writer! Be prepared to be impressed! I came to know Carolyn 5 years ago while I was trying to advance my career. From the moment I engaged in her service, she has never ceased to amaze me! The resume and cover letter she created for me landed me the job I applied for, which was a dream come true!

In 2022 I wanted to apply for a leadership position in a different field. Carolyn helped me again with her superb writing skills and expertise. The resume and cover letter she wrote for me once again landed me this role, which is absolutely phenomenal. I cannot begin to describe how impressed I am with all her fantastic work and assistance along the way.

Carolyn has tirelessly supported me with her expert advice, career guidance, and in-depth knowledge before and after the interview process. She even went above and beyond and negotiated a higher salary for me, professionally! I was constantly in awe of her. Carolyn is a true master in resume writing and career coaching. I think whoever engages in her service will find themselves extremely lucky. Personally, she is the best thing that has happened to me in the journey of my career.
