There was a time people when people between 55-65, were retiring and cavorting on the beach or riding rickshaws in exotic locales.
Not anymore because they can’t download their super early or simply don’t have enough saved.
I take special pride when one of my older clients (>55) gets a job with our help. Below is a testimonial from Allen in Adelaide.
“Hi Malcolm, just a quick note to let you know that I have been offered a position as a warehouse and logistics officer with a small company at Hindmarsh. Since using the resume that you created for me, I have received 4x offers for interviews and I was offered this position today (I start next week). Thank you for all of your assistance, advice and professionalism – all of which came at what was a very stressful time for me. It was much appreciated.” Allen Stenson
Many people over 50 years of age ask me to write their resumes or give employment advice. Especially how to battle age prejudice.
The long tail of the GFC and the Coronavirus are the last nails in the coffin for retiring early.

Dave lives on the south coast of NSW and has a military background. His skills, although ill-defined, were deep and comprehensive.
It took four drafts to pull his resume in to commercial shape. I also produced and edited a targeted cover letter.
Below is the testimonial from Dave’s Google review.
“After my initial contact with Republic Resumes, I was pleasantly surprised to receive a response within ten minutes. Malcolm produced an extremely good quality resume for me which I will be confident to present to HR staff and future employers. Very pleased with the speed, accuracy and professionalism showed throughout this short and pleasant experience. Dave”
If you’re looking for a resume writer, first check out how many Google reviews they’ve got and what those clients say.
Did you know that Republic Resumes sometimes uses testimonials on our client’s resumes?
The theory behind testimonials as a propaganda tool is most interesting but that will have to wait for another blog.
