I was honoured to be invited to talk on SABC News about the rise in South African emigration, since the start of the Covid-19 pandemic. In my thirteen years of writing CVs I’ve seen a consistent rise in people looking to start a new life overseas. This is especially true of South Africans.

“Thanks Roz for doing such a great job with my resume. I got a lot of positive feedback, both in my home country and in Australia. I also managed to find a job, with my new resume, within a month of landing in Perth! Well worth the money!”

Whether your future lies in mining in Australia, banking in Canada, nursing in New Zealand, engineering in the UK, or anything anywhere else, you’ve found a trusted source. I will work with you to create the best shop window for your skills and experience.

This week we shine a spotlight on Irene. She was keen to share her positive experience with you. This makes myself and my small team very happy and excited! Would you like to be our next success story?

Always happy to hear from previous customers and see where your career is heading now. The new skills you’ve acquired! Then I write a new version of your CV focused on the new role. I’ll write you the new cover letter to get you noticed. Or give your LinkedIn profile a makeover to make you more attractive to your desired market (digital eyeliner also has to be replaced very two years, according to Bill Gates- who’s never been wrong about anything).

Feedback on Friday is where we like to share some of our happy customers’ success stories with you. Not meaning to blow the company horn...

Your CV is not meant to be a work of art. So colour your life not your CV. Employers only give you 20 seconds (if you’re lucky) to read over your CV. They are not reading it over a leisurely cup of coffee, they are skimming through it to find the relevant information.

Getting no results from countless job applications? Resumes, Etc has helped thousands of people achieve their dreams. Now there’s a new way we can help you… It’s understandable that money’s tight at this time of year. When your new goals are also burning brightest in your mind.

One of my recent clients has written a  Diary of a CV Rewrite, to inform potential clients of my process. I’m sure this will be extremely helpful to anyone who is considering buying a CV package. The diary entries below are written by Heather Myburgh.

Some employers use CV scanners or scanning software to digitally eliminate unsuitable contenders, while others still use humans who dedicate less than twenty seconds to reading each CV/Résumé.

Here are my top tips for beating the ATS scanner – Simple formatting is CRUCIAL, don’t use multiple columns or other weird formatting – Your CV/Résumé must be a Word doc, not PDF – Include key words in a sensible way, don’t resort to tricks like teeny tiny fonts or white text on a white background, that’s just silly nonsense

Simple and easy to read – this is the recurring message I hear from HR personnel, hiring managers, recruiters and business owners when they talk about CV/Résumés. Regardless of the country or the industry – the principles are ALWAYS the same.

Have you been applying for job after job with no interviews? It can really start to wear you down and eventually you begin to believe you are unemployable. But what if I told you it’s your CV / Résumé that’s the problem?

There is a misconception about the job application process, which results in lost opportunities for many job seekers. You are only given an average of twenty seconds to grab the reader’s attention. You want to believe the HR personnel are sitting quietly at their desks, surrounded by doves and unicorns, while the soft sound of harp music wafts calmly through the air.

I had been writing CVs for about two years when I received an email from a client one Sunday afternoon. He apologised for bothering me over the weekend, but his family had asked him to send the email.

I have been writing international CVs for ten years, initially focusing on Australia, then branching out to New Zealand, South Africa, Canada, UAE, USA, UK and many other parts of the world.
