Out of touch with an effective resume

As someone who has not had to enter the job market for nearly 20 years, I was out of touch with what an effective resume should look like and how critical this now is. What I found out was there are hundreds of applicants for most roles, so getting an HR Manager or Recruitment Agent to spend any time reviewing my resume was the key. Format My Resume was able to provide a cleanly formatted resume with the layout that works. I was happy but surprised when the very first role I sent my revised resume to requested me for an interview. Bruce has a great understanding of the job market and how to best position and present me for opportunities appropriate to my seniority. I am sure his advice and reformatting of my resume was the key to my recent success in obtaining my new role. Thanks.

Not sure if it was magic but I got a job almost immediately

I don't know if it was the reformatted resume, using the cover letter template, or just coincidence, but I had immediate success after using Format My Resume. Having not applied for a job for many years it was taking longer to get any traction and I was getting frustrated. I am not sure if it was magic but I got a job almost immediately. In fact, the very next job I applied for after Bruce worked on my resume I was asked in for an interview. His interview tips were also invaluable and I am sure they helped me land the job. Thank you, Bruce, and Format My Resume! xxx

I got two call-backs within a week after engaging Format My Resume

Having been referred to Bruce four years ago by a mutual friend, Bruce was upfront and clear that the role I was pursuing had already been shortlisted. Then for the next 45 minutes he informed me on how the Recruitment Industry works and ways to be remembered, not just the standard "We will retain your information for future opportunities" line we often hear. All without any consideration for what’s in it for HIM...

Years later, COVID-19 impacts jobs and I again contacted Bruce through ‘"Format My Resume" and he again provided insights into the job market that helped me pivot my search approach.

After four weeks of more “unfortunately...unsuccessful” responses, I got two call-backs within a week after engaging Format My Resume to work on my CV. For anyone stagnating in their job search I highly recommend you tap in to this resume formatting service to revise your approach with some expert perspectives Bruce offers. It was the best hour’s wage I spent!

Tapping into 20 years of recruitment and resume experience

"Ridiculously efficient" comes to mind when I think about Bruce. His support was invaluable and almost immediate. Within 24 hours of my initial contact, I had a whole new perspective on what recruiters look for and a suite of hacks to make sure my resume was a standout. In a meeting yesterday with a company, the recruiter commented on how well my resume was presented and the fact that it was sent in both a Word and PDF copy was "like gold to recruiters". I really appreciate Bruce's expertise and I highly recommend tapping into his 20 years of experience.

Thanks for all your help.

Providing that edge…with much-needed guidance

Bruce has a keen eye for detail and assisted me in formatting my Resume to be clear and concise. His ability to translate all of the relevant experience in a clear and easy to follow manner is outstanding. Bruce also further assisted me with providing some great examples of cover letters to include as templates to further assist in addition to the Resume. I cannot recommend his services enough to assist in providing that edge especially in today’s climate with the sheer volume of applicants going for the same job. Bruce’s professionalism shines through with much-needed guidance post the changes to ensure you are comfortable with the changes and the rationale behind these.

Bruce is an experienced recruiter, so knew what he was talking about…

As an Australian resident returning back home after a few years working in Asia, I wanted to make sure my resume was hitting the mark for Australian recruiters. I found Format My Resume through LinkedIn when looking for recommended recruiters, and was very happy to see Bruce was both an experienced recruiter, so knew what he was talking about, as well as the driving force behind Format My Resume. Great service, great outcome, great tips. Recommended.

Of particular value was the great guide on nailing your cover letter

I was very impressed by the quality and expediency of Format My Resume services – when I submitted my resume for reformatting to Bruce, I was advised that I would have it the reformatted resume back to me in 3 business days but I actually got it under two. During that time, I received updates on progress which were not automated responses but meaningful communications. Of particular value was the great guide on nailing your cover letter.

Happy with the subtle changes when he explained the reasons behind them

I was referred to Bruce to get some input into my resume, as I have been in current role/organisation for a number of years and wanted to make sure I was giving myself the best possible chance of landing my next role. While the changes he made were not significant compared to my original resume, I was happy with the subtle changes when he explained the reasons behind them. I understand it can be the smallest of issues that can cost you being considered for the job.
