Karratha Resume were approached by me 2 years ago to complete my professional CV and Cover letter, the service was fast, efficient and of the highest quality.

Cannot speak highly enough about my new resume and cover letter. Tanja has done an amazing job. I haven’t needed a resume for 26 years as I’ve been with the same employer but due to the current situation with COVID-19 I’m out there having to get back into the game. The advantage of Tanja writing my resume is that she has a background in HR and understands what looks good and the importance of making an impact with key words. Tanja also helped me apply for a job with that required specific targeted responses. Many thanks great work and an effortless and seamless process.

I had Tanja write my personalised cover letter and resume, I cannot fault their quality and I'm hugely impressed it was worth every dollar. I'm just trying to make a career change and I feel this resume and cover letter were the missing link between me getting an interview or missing out. So well done to the team at Karratha resumes and a personal shout out to Tanja.
