Are resumes dying?
As a resume writer, I like this story by blogger Mat McGuinness, who reckons resumes and CVs are a thing of the past. In some ways, they are. They’ve got maybe five to ten years left as a going concern. It’s hard to say. The main reason is most are boring. They’re eye...

SA’s public universities get an ‘F’ for professionalism

Employment is looking up (sort of)
Pollies and their spin doctors love statistics. I should know. I worked as a media adviser for five years in Canberra and Melbourne. As an Adelaide resume writer, I’m fascinated by the recent ABS employment figures. It’s once in a lifetime stuff. I write hard-hitting...
More Republic Resume clients getting jobs
