"It was an absolute pleasure to collaborate with Professional Resumes Australia to develop a two-part career development series for our Young Professionals Network. Thank you to Michaela and Emma for flexibly designing and delivering impactful 2 hour sessions, covering big topics including - personal branding, elevator pitches and career/leadership development plans. The high participation and energy from over 100 young professionals across the Communities and Justice portfolio made this experience incredibly rewarding. The feedback coming in has been great already! Looking forward to continuing these conversations and building partnerships to support the development of young professionals in NSW Government."

Palladium (Australia Awards Africa, Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade program managers)

"We engaged Professional Resumes Australia to lead a workshop on career planning, resume writing and professional branding for the departing group of 2024 Australia Awards Africa scholars. Professional Resumes Australia went out of their way to respond to our needs, going over and above our basic requirements from proposal submission all the way to workshop delivery. Michaela and Emma were personable, knowledgeable and engaging during the workshop providing prompts to elicit engagement in an online forum and respond to questions following the workshop. Michaela and Emma were able to reflect on the African contexts and nuances between Australia and Africa, providing highly relevant content for all. I would highly recommend Professional Resumes Australia for any individuals or businesses seeking professional advice related to resume development."
