No evidence doubled JobSeeker created dole bludgers
As resume writers, we know how hard job hunters scrounge for work. There are still ridiculous elements who think being on the dole is a party. Two of Australia's top labour market and welfare academics say there is no evidence doubling the dole at the height of the...
Jobs on the rise during Covid-19
Jobs for number crunchers, data and software specialists, engineers and video game developers, have surged to the top of the hiring pile as the coronavirus upends Australia's job market. With the COVID-19 outbreak, the amount of data has dramatically risen due to...
Sydney shonks: beware of non-local resume writers in Adelaide
In the last fortnight, I've had to rewrite two resumes from people who went to shonky writers, who 'allegedly' were trading out of Adelaide. I know they're based in Melbourne and Sydney. In the last month, there has been an influx of dodgy interstate resume writers,...
Solving work problems – put them in your resume
As Adelaide resume writers, we see scores of resumes which have great design, great formatting and look a million dollars. The problem is that when you dig down, they’re just list of duties and responsibilities copied and pasted from a job description. This is...
Republic Resumes scores new testimonial
I reckon in the last ten years in Adelaide, I’ve personally helped through Republic Resumes, get about 2000 people short-listed for work and around 1000 of those landed jobs. It's hard to say with Covid-19 and the appalling state of the SA economy, how many of those...
Teen job interview questions
Here are some typical interview questions that teen applicants may be asked. Take the time to practice how you would answer them so they reflect you, as a person and as a candidate for employment. The hardest question? Tell me about yourself. Script that. The second...
Republic Resumes reopens until 16 December
Republic Resumes has reopened and will trade until 16 December. I'd closed the business to work on other projects a couple of weeks ago. Big mistake. I've had 20 contacts since then. In part, it's due to recruiters, who we work with, trying to fill places before...

The JobSeeker supplement payment has been extended to the end of March 2021 but it will reduce from $815 a fortnight to $715 a fortnight from December. The JobKeeper Payment will continue to be paid to eligible businesses (including the self-employed) and...
Fake news in SA ‘business confidence’ survey
Dear Brothers and Sisters, we are gathered at this blog to examine some more extraordinary bullshit, concocted by Business SA and accountancy firm Willian Buck, and published in The Agoniser and the ABC (Adelaide) this morning. An extraordinarily shonky survey shows...
From the Republic front line – Google reviews
Every now and then, when we’ve gone the extra ten kilometres for a client beyond the quoted fee, we ask for a Google review. It helps with SEO ranking (but not much). More importantly, it shows prospective clients, that we’re not backyard shonks, who cut and paste...
Fake jobs on the rise
When job hunting, don't send your resume out to just any online job ad. Seek.com.au and others are full of fake job ads, where your personal information is being sold by fake-job advertisers to companies who then try and talk you into doing a “free” training course,...
Why Australia isn’t aiming for ‘full employment’ anymore
I’m not a big fan on the media because of the spin, opinion passed off as news, gatekeeping out important stories, etc – and I used to be a journalist! But this one is a cracker… I’ve edited it but you can read the full story below. Written by the ABC’s Gareth...
From the Republic front line
Even though Republic Resumes is closed until January next year, I’ll still write on this blog. Here are some thoughts from the employment/unemployment sector front line. The most interesting one is today’s front page story in The Advertiser (Adelaide), which says that...
Recession ‘likely’ over, says RBA – and other jokes
I work at the cutting edge of the employment sector and stories like this are simply bizarre. Whole sections of the economy such as tourism and international students have crumbled. Retail is comatose. In real terms, close to 3 million people are unemployed or under...
Open Melbourne NOW!
OPEN MELBOURNE NOW! Six million Melbourne people have put up with a ton of pain to beat the virus. Many have gone broke, they’ve lost their houses, families have split up and more. Around 1000 jobs a day are vanishing. Premier Andrews has again hit the "pause" button....
