Hello there, remarkable one.
Would you believe me if I told you that…
- There is a spark of greatness in everyone – even you?
- You have so much value to offer your next employer and workplace?
- Writing your resume – making yourself marketable – should and can feel awesome?
If you’re feeling like you couldn’t knock the socks off an employer even if you pulled them from their feet yourself or you’d simply rather shower with a bear than write your own resume, then you’ve found the place to change all of that.
If you’re heading back to the world of work but:
- have an employment hole on your resume that is holding you back from a fair chance at employment;
- seriously lacking confidence and struggling to identify the skills, strengths and attributes that make you highly employable,
- lost on how to communicate your value appealingly and battling to put pen to paper (or finger to keyboard),
- it’s been a long time since you’ve looked for work and now you’re feeling like a complete fish out of water…
then this course is just for you.
It’s time to illustrate your greatness.
The Resume Writing for Return to Work Success Course is specially designed to help parents – mums and dads, carers and people recovered from injury and illness being held back from employment by the career gap on their resume. Participants walk away armed with the essential knowledge and coaching needed to get back to the workplace.
You’ll learn:
- How to get your head in the right space to begin the job search process, and identify the skills, strengths and awesomeness you can offer to your next employer.
- The time-saving and highly effective tips, tricks and strategies I’ve used to build thousands of interview-winning resumes.
- A blueprint on how to craft a resume that stops employers (and computer software!) dead in their tracks.
- Step-by-step how-to on writing cover letters that don’t make you want to stick a pencil in your eye or put your reader to sleep.
- Strategising your job search, because you don’t have precious time, effort and opportunities to waste.
- How to tackle those dreaded interview questions and how to ask for flexibility so you start your employment relationship on the right foot.
- Plus stacks more!
You’ll have all you need to know packaged up in a self-paced online course, chock-full with templates, examples, printable worksheets, videos and audio, designed to help you get out the door to your first job interview stat.

The journey begins here
Some people have a strategically planned, sticky-notes-and-highlighters kind of re-entry to the workforce that even Marie Kondo would envy. Others have what they’ve described to me as one of those vertigo-inducing-terrifying-roller-coaster-spinning-upside-down-slingshot carnival rides you went on when you were eight years old. You know the one right? Yeah, feels kinda like that.
It doesn’t matter whether you feel like you’re trudging through fire and sirens or cruising in planner and sticky-note bliss – this course is for you.
What People Have To Say About This Course
I finished this course feeling so knowledgeable and inspired. I feel like it has changed a belief in myself and has helped me understand resumes, cover letters and so much more and made sense of all the conflicting information out there. I now know how to present myself the best I can for my circumstances.
Before starting this course, I had applied for close to 800 jobs in 2 years, only successful in gaining 1 interview. Within 3 weeks of updating my resume after taking this course, I’ve been called for 2 interviews in the same week!
I updated my resume using this course. In the first week I applied for 3 jobs and got interviews with 2 of them. This course made it easier to get the skills I knew I had written out for employers to see.
This course is structured and simple to understand, and loaded with experience and knowledge. The videos and templates saved me heaps of time trying to format my own and everything was set out and explained in plain English.
Excited? You should be! Let’s do this.
In this course, I’ll share with you a step-by-step blueprint, worksheets, videos, audio and templates to support you to:
