Our Google Reviews

I am absolutely ecstatic about the quality of my final resume and covering letter. I went through it with a fine tooth comb and there was not one mistake in any of the documents. The level of professionalism and the speed of delivery is a credit to PSR. I also want to call out Francis who wrote both my resume and covering letter. We spent over an hour on the phone discussing many aspects of the role and he nailed everything. If you are looking for a Public Service job this company is a must and it is money well spent.

Can't thank Melonie enough for her superb work on both my application and my resume. A truly stellar representation of my career. Thanks so much!

I contacted Beejay of Public Service Resumes in September 2024 for assistance with a Qld Health job application. Sara was assigned as my writer and collaboratively the 2 page statement was addressed and Sara created a modern and up to date resume which earned a merit for the effort. I have contacted Beejay again for another Qld Health job opportunity and Sara was assigned as my writer and she has been very supportive with tackling the 2 page statement, resulting in an interview being offered. So hopeful of a good result and I highly recommend the Public Service Resumes group to calm your nerves and assist with addressing what HR staff are looking for in job applications. Thank you Sara for your encouragement and support with my applications.

After 23 years in the same job, I applied last month for a job that I thought was way out of my reach. I contacted Beejay (thanks for listening to my initial non informative rant and being so nice 😂) as I needed urgent help with my extremely outdated and poor worded CV. Abby was the fabulous one to help me and put together something fabulous to apply with! Against a huge amount of candidates, I ended up getting the job. Cannot recommend them enough ❤️

Thank you for your services with making me a resume. A very special thank you to Berny who, after one phone call was able to capture everything I needed placed into the resume, reorganise the info, sort it all out and produce a professional resume.

The service from Public Service Resumes is second to none. From the moment you make an enquiry, you will receive outstanding service and personalised attention. The process with the writer was enjoyable and Meaghan was clearly well prepared before our meeting. She had intimate knowledge of my skills and what I was wanting to achieve with the resume service. Add to that, the fact that this company has intimate knowledge of how to write targeted responses, you are on an absolute winner with this company. My husband and I have both used this service and have both made it to the next stage of job applications, thanks to Public Service Resumes. Gold star recommendation.

Can not recommend their services enough. I have used them twice now and both times I have secured new employment due to the quality of the cover letters written by Public Service Resumes.The process is made easy from the initial call with my writer who sort as much information from me as possible to get a clear understanding of how I meet the application criteria. To the final product. I found that my request for amendments and adjustments was easily received and implemented into the final product.They made the whole process enjoyable on both occasions. I will be using their services for further employment applications.

Jaqueline from Public Service Resumes wrote my resume, selection criteria and cover letter for a mid senior level position with the state government. I was shortlisted for the interview process. Prior to the interview I received coaching from Jaqueline which was very helpful. I received feedback that whilst I wasn't successful in getting the position , I came a close second. I was told I interviewed very strongly and encouraged to keep applying to government positions. Whilst I didn't get the position I was very pleased to be shortlisted to an interview and then receive such positive feedback from the interviewer. Thanks Jaqueline and Beejay for your assistance. The process has been a great boost to my confidence.

The whole experience was fantastic. From initially liaising with Beejay, through to working on my selection criteria with Meaghan the process was extremely professional and service focused. The work had a very quick turnaround time and resulted in an interview. Public Services Resumes helped me update my resume and selection criteria. Well worth the purchase and time.

From the moment I contacted Beejay at Public Service Resumes I was confident that I was in the right hands for a new resume. Kristie was excellent and understood my requirements. She put together a great resume and covering letter within the very short time I had to submit resume and did not disappoint. Highly recommend and will use again. Thanks team.

The Resume Service was exceptional. The writer and the finished product has given me the confidence to apply for positions that are commensurate with my experience. Whilst I knew I was capable, I was not receiving any interview requests. It is early days with my newly minted resume, however I remain very hopeful.Very fast turnaround and worth the money.

Lyn

I am extremely happy with the documents and the quality service provided. I have also forwarded your details onto a number of acquaintances who are also looking at incorporating a service such as yours for future job opportunities that they are applying for?Louise, thank you very much as the results from our continued correspondence via email, phone and messaging was fantastic. I am also looking at one more application response and I am very hopeful that I may be fortunate that you have the time to work with myself again as I believe you have been a credit to the company you work for and also myself in getting a high quality resume professionally tailored to my needs.Thank you

After applying for a number of jobs on my own and not getting anywhere, I thought I’d give Public Service Resumes a go! Prompt professional service, friendly staff and an interview first go! Highly recommend!

Nova Marti

09:45 08 Mar 23

I received exceptional service from Public Service Resumes. I was in a hurry to get my resume updated as there was a job I wanted to apply for that had been advertised a few days before I saw it. I contacted PSR and Beejay was in touch very quickly to set up an interview with Jackey. Jackey was super professional and knew how to put the right content in the resume to have the strongest impact. PSR had indicated a six-day turnaround but I requested the resume as soon as they could provide it. Less than 48 hours after my interview with Jackey I had my resume back and ready to go. I was really happy with how it looked and the content. It's a no-brainer to get a good resume done if you want the job and PSR will deliver the goods.

I had a great experience with the agency! Beejay was very professional, cooperative, quick responsive to me. Ms. Nicole prepared my Resume and Cover letter for one job application. She had two hours of telephone conversation with me, explained the selection criteria points elaborately, collected all the relevant information she needed from me. The final write up was excellent and on time !! I re-ordered for the second cover letter of a different job application just within 48 hours of first order was delivered. The cover letter needed a little addition. Beejay and Nicole worked together to complete the task promply. I was able to submit my second application just two hours before deadline. I certainly go back to them for further services.

Public Service Resumes helped me to write selection criteria for a local council job and how to prepare for interviews. Ellen helped me about my selection criteria, she was so detailed and patient. I received the draft on time. Only one minor change needed to be updated to finalize my selection criteria. Tina helped me with my interview. She was so experienced. In the training session, I can clearly know how to prepare my answers in an interview. I highly recommend Public Service Resumes.

Fabulous service from the responsive first phone call from Beejay through to a super quick completion time. Thanks so much to Beejay and my writer Lisa. I needed this resume quite quickly and for this to be done in less than a week was outstanding. Usually Xmas New Year is really difficult because businesses shut down but not these amazing people! I am applying with confidence as this resume is beyond anything I could have created.

I just wanted to post a quick thank you to Beejay, Sarah and all the team at public service resumes. The service was quick, professional and friendly and the end result was far better than anything I would have produced on my own. I would highly recommend this service to anyone in need of an updated modern day resume and excellently written criteria.

I have used the services of Beejay and Kylie a number of times over the past two years!The service and quality of work I have received is nothing short of sensational.Beejay is always prompt with requests and take the effort to understand the requirements prior to quoting.Kylie takes the time to understand you, your experience and turns that’s into written responses that’s shine you in a light you would not yourself, but always ensuring they are an accurate statement of what you have actually achieved.Government applications are extremely complex, and you are always going up against hundreds of applicants…. But with the help of Beejay and Kylie you are guaranteed to always standout!

I engaged Public Service Resumes to do a last minute application. My writer, Marwa, was super quick to digest the information in the job ad, took the time for a phone call to discuss the response (2x 500 word responses) and provided a set of responses that was spot on! I scored the interview.In addition, their customer service representative, Bee Jay, was very friendly, helpful and quick to respond.I highly recommend Public Service Resumes.

Jasmin Towers

If you want the job... use this service, the best service without a doubt. If you think you are prepared for an interview, you wont be, TINA is fantastic at teaching you what to say, how to say it and how to add context to your responses. I had the panel responding with 'great answer', 'strong response', 'wow, best answer to that question we have had'. I was anxious, not confident, had no idea, but spent time with PUBLIC SERVICE RESUMES worked through all government criteria and I had the best responses prepared, no trying to work it out on the day. PREPARE. Use this service, you will not regret it. If I could give 10 stars I would have left 10 stars. AND.... I got the job.

Cindy Patmore
