Get Noticed. Get Results.

Your Resume has one chance to make a powerful first impression. Make sure it's a good one.

What Makes You Stand Out?

Employers don’t have the time or resources to interview everyone. Most will simply glance at each resume before deciding whether to toss it in the yes or no pile.

As your resume has a major impact on whether you will be considered as a candidate for the job, it’s imperative that you make those first few seconds count. It must look great and it needs to be well written.

That’s why we’re here. To tell your story in a professional, relevant and distinctive way!

We offer a professional, personalised service and genuinely care about your success.

Resume Writing

Getting a great job starts with a great resume. With our resume writing service, you’ll get one-on-one support as we create a top quality, competitive, cutting-edge resume that tells your career story.

Coaching & Support

How do you go about getting the job you really want? Where is the best place to start? We are able to assist you every step of the way. We'll give you honest, sound advice and guide you through the process.

More Services

Personalised guidance for your job search and career advancement.

Cover & Application Letters

Employers don't always require a cover letter, but it's always a good idea to include one. We can also prepare an application letter when that is the only requirement.

Interview Skills Coaching

The interview is your opportunity to really highlight your experience and abilities. Our coaching can help you gain the confidence needed to present yourself well.

Job Search Support

We can guide you through the job search process, from considering how your resume represents you, how you can stand out from the crowd, your interview skills and more.

What Our Happy Clients Say

From apprentices and graduates starting their career journey to senior executives, we're proud of the success many of our clients have achieved.

Three interviews, two job offers and several compliments about the resumé! Well done and many thanks to you!

Words cannot say how fantastic your resume results are. Without your help I am sure I would not have my position. I would like to say to anyone who is thinking of using you for his or her resumé, not to hesitate because there would not be anyone in South Australia that could do a better job.

I can highly recommend Resume Results. Communication was courteous, professional and super quick - my documents were completed within 48 hours! Being able to do this over the phone was also invaluable.  I have had many interviews and opportunities since having had my Resume and Cover Letter completed, which I know to be based solely on their high quality.

Thank you so much for all your help with my resume, job application and interview coaching. I wouldn’t have been able to provide such a professional and thorough resume and application and come through the interview without it. First impressions really do count.

How to Choose the Right Professional

Resume writing service in adelaide.

To simplify your search for the ideal resume writing service, we’ve narrowed down three key factors to consider when deciding which service is most suitable for you:

Investigate the Resume Writing Process

Keep in mind that what makes a great resume can vary depending on you and your career objectives. While some may only require minor tweaks to their existing resume, others may need to completely overhaul their resume. Your chosen company should take a personalized approach to each candidate.

At Harmont, we follow through a detailed process to ensure that your resume is perfectly tailored for the job you are applying for.

Consider Certification

Are the resume writers in the company certified professionals? If so, from which certifying body or organization? Understanding the qualifications and experience of a resume writer can go a long way in guaranteeing you receive the best service.

Ask About Experience

What is the company’s background in providing resume writing services? Do they specialize in any particular field or industry? A company with expertise in your industry will be able to better craft a resume that presents you favorably compared to other applicants.

Harmont clients have been able to schedule interviews with top companies and organizations in Australia, such as Coles, Qantas, the NSW Government, Commonwealth Bank, and more.

Hiring managers rely on resumes to make hiring decisions and to determine if you are a good fit for the job. A well-crafted resume can significantly increase your chances of securing an interview.

What should a resume look like in 2023 Australia?

In 2023, the Australian job market has seen significant changes, and as a result, the standards for resumes have evolved. Here’s what job seekers in Australia should consider:

Digital Compatibility : With many Australian companies using Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS), ensure your resume is ATS-friendly. This means avoiding intricate graphics, tables, and sticking to standard fonts.

Brevity and Relevance : A typical Australian resume is 2-3 pages for seasoned professionals. For those early in their career or with less experience, a one-page resume is ideal. Always customise your resume for each role, emphasising pertinent experience.

Contact Details : Your name, mobile number, professional email, LinkedIn profile, and city or suburb are essential. For privacy reasons, the full address isn’t necessary.

Professional Profile : Begin with a succinct summary that defines your professional persona. This 3-4 line pitch should spotlight your primary skills and experiences.

Skills Snapshot : Feature relevant skills at the forefront, especially those specified in the job advertisement. This encompasses both technical proficiencies and interpersonal skills.

Employment History : List in reverse chronological order. For each role, offer a concise description and underscore significant achievements with quantifiable outcomes.

Educational Credentials : Start with your highest academic achievement. Detail the institution’s name, the qualification earned, and the graduation year.

Ongoing Learning : Showcase any supplementary courses, certifications, or training pertinent to the role you’re targeting.

Personal Interests (Optional) : A brief section can provide insight into your personality. Ensure they’re framed in a manner that appears advantageous to the role or company ethos.

References : In Australia, it’s standard to note “References available upon request” rather than detailing them. However, always have a list prepared.

Presentation and Structure : A neat, professional design is key. Maintain consistent formatting, utilise bullet points, and employ bold or italic fonts judiciously. In 2023, a touch of colour can differentiate your resume, but moderation is crucial.

Video Resumes and Online Portfolios : While traditional resumes prevail, certain sectors in Australia might value a video pitch or a digital portfolio link. Ensure they’re of high quality and job-relevant.

Inclusivity : Refrain from including age, marital status, religion, or any non-job-related personal details. The Australian job market in 2023 places a strong emphasis on diversity and inclusion.

Final Check : A resume free from grammatical or spelling errors is crucial. Consider having someone else review it for a fresh perspective.

In summary, while the essence of a strong resume remains consistent, the specifics for the Australian job market in 2023 have nuanced differences. Staying updated with these trends and tailoring your resume accordingly is paramount.

Our resume writing approach is holistic. We consider the specific industries dominant in Adelaide, the local job market trends, and the preferences of Adelaide-based employers. By combining this local knowledge with our expertise, we craft resumes that are not only professionally appealing but also resonate with the Adelaide job market.

Do you offer face-to-face consultations in Adelaide or are services provided remotely?

While our primary mode of communication is online, ensuring a swift and efficient service, we are based in Adelaide among other locations. This means you have the advantage of local expertise, and depending on the service package.

The Process

I supply a written quote first which is based on how long the product will take to write and the level of complexity. If you want to apply for a specific job, email me the job link. Allow for at least seven working days before the job deadline. I am deadline-focused and turn resume drafts around within 24 hours .

I ask clients to send me an old resume in Word as this can save money. If you don’t have one, I build a new resume from scratch.

I start the drafts by sending a number of introductory questions. In the second and third drafts, I concentrate on results and duties.

The secret to building a good resume is to focus on what you’ve achieved  in the last seven years. The secret to building a great resume is to include figures that support your claims.

The draft resume goes back and forth between us until it becomes a professional marketing document of your career experiences, skills and capabilities.

Cover Letters

Cover letters follow the same drafting process. It takes two drafts to get a cover letter in to ‘pitch perfect’ shape.

Every cover letter contains your professional motivation for applying and what you uniquely bring to the position. Cover letters are sales documents which sell your experience, capabilities and skills.

I use the latest persuasive marketing, key word and professional writing skills when crafting a cover letter.

Targeted cover letters work better than generic letters.

I write a cover letter after the resume is completed.

LinkedIn Sites

I use the new resume to create a professional LinkedIn site. LinkedIn sites are great for expanding on your workplace wins and adding graphics.

I ensure there is brand consistency and identification between the resume and the LinkedIn site. Both are interrelated sales documents.

Recruiters regularly cruise through LinkedIn sites, looking for middle and senior managers and executives with special skills and experience.

LinkedIn sites take three days to launch.

Still not sure about hiring a professional?

Still not 100% sure about hiring a professional, and thinking you can do it on your own? Well we’ve put together a list of the 5 reasons why it may be time for you to contact Resumes Done Right:

You’re not a strong writer

A lot of recruiters will send a résumé straight to the bin for simple errors.

You're too modest

The perfect resume should reflect who you are, but that also means talking up your achievements and experience!

For those of you who are humble, engaging with an expert to write your CV can be helpful.

As specialists in our field, we are able to objectively view your career accomplishments, determine if they are relevant to your goals, and from there add them to your resume in a style that will catch the attention of recruiter and hiring managers.

You’re new to or just returning to the workforce

If you’ve just graduated or have decided to get back to work after a long break, your resume may need a refresher.

Having gaps in your work history, or little work experience can be difficult to communicate across your CV when applying for jobs.

We know exactly how to take what you have done and highlight those positives, so that potential employers will focus on what you have done, not what you’re missing.

You don’t know how to format

Excessively long CV’s, use of fancy borders and fonts, and adding a photo to a CV can result in your CV going to the bottom of the Applicant Tracking System pile or not be read by the recruiter.

You’re not getting any call backs

You know you’ve got the experience and the passion, but you keep sending out your resume, and getting nothing back.

The reason your phone may not be ringing is because many large companies use applicant tracking systems to weed out job applicants.

These systems take keywords used in the job description and scan your resume for them, which means you may be more than qualified, but your lack of keywords means it’s getting sent to the trash before it even gets glanced at by human eyes.

We know how to get past these systems, and can create a beautiful professional looking resume for you in the process.

I'm a millennial job seeker who kept getting my résumé rejected. Then I changed the formatting.

• Dania Swails said her résumé wasn't being read by applicant-tracking systems.
• Swails, who's worked in finance, revamped her résumé to make it easier to get through the systems.
• She simplified her résumé format and has started getting more callbacks for job applications.

Dania Swails , 28, has worked in finance and is looking for another job in the industry after leaving her last role. She has been rejected from many jobs she's applied to. A recruiter suggested she rework her résumé so an applicant-tracking system might more easily read it.

I have a bachelor's degree in sports management. I graduated in 2019, and the pandemic started in March 2020. So some of the job offers I had — and the prospects I had — weren't starting until the next season, but my opportunities went away because of the pandemic.

I had a friend who was a stockbroker. She said: "Hey, my job will train you to become a broker if that's something you're interested in." At the time, I just needed a job, so I became a broker.

I got into it, and I just really liked it. My dad works in finance; he does taxes and investing. He's told me my whole life that I need to look into finance. When I started in the industry, my dad and I used to study every night for my Series 7 exam, which I passed.

After working as a broker, I was recruited to be an equity trader. I really got into data and trends research when I was working at that job. I was there for two years, and then I got laid off.

After I got laid off, I went on LinkedIn and found a job as an analyst. It was my first time not working with clients. I worked directly for the bank. I liked being an analyst; I just didn't like the company.

I felt like: "Well, I've been in finance for four years. I've managed these accounts. I've done this. I haven't had a problem having a job." So at the end of January, I thought: "I'm burned out from this employer. I'll just leave. I'm sure I can find something else." That didn't happen.

When I was a first-year broker, it felt like I was getting recruited on LinkedIn every day. That's how I got that job as an equity trader. Even when I was laid off, I was only out of work for three weeks before I was right back at work at a new job.

But now, months later, I still don't have a role. This has been the hardest it's ever been. I've never had an experience like this. LinkedIn had always been my best friend, but now it's my worst enemy — it's like a shift happened.

Revamping my résumé

I'd been told my résumé was impressive. I'd also been told it's too long, it's too short, it's too vague, and I needed to change the formatting. I had my education and my skills on the side, along with my contact information. I had a template that was pretty fancy-looking. I'd always used it and I'd always thought that it had caught recruiters' eyes. But I just haven't been having much luck. So I've been changing my résumé — adding things, taking things off.

There were jobs where I met every requirement and I'd still get rejected. When I was an equity trader, I needed three to five years of experience, but they recruited me when I only had a year and a half of experience. So I was able to get into a higher role. And then, I became an analyst who needed a bit more experience than I had. But they said in the interview that they liked where my head was at, so I got hired.

Related stories

After I left my last job, I applied for roles where I didn't meet all the requirements, but I figured I could talk about my experience. I was getting automatically rejected, so I decided to apply only for jobs where I met every qualification. And I was still getting rejected.

I've been in Cincinnati now for four years. I like it but would also like to go somewhere else — maybe Miami, Philadelphia, DC, or Chicago. I was applying for jobs and taking my address off my résumé so it wouldn't flag in the system. I was still not getting anything.

Then, a recruiter I'd been working with said my résumé could be getting caught in applicant-tracking systems. She said I should put it through a system that will see if it flags when you compare it to a certain job description.

When I submitted my résumé and job description through this system, I was surprised by the results. It said I had a low chance of getting the job. My résumé had dashes, which could have been throwing it off because an ATS sometimes doesn't recognize dashes. I also had more than 32 characters in the file name. I was told that wasn't good, so I shortened it.

The recruiter said the formatting and template I used weren't reading, and the ATS wasn't picking up my key skills or education. I was also told that if the résumé was over one page, but definitely two, it would kick it out automatically.

I've had to revamp my résumé completely. I made it a simple document — basic black and white. Instead of having separate columns, it's straight up and down and in chronological order. It hasn't been that long, but I have had two callbacks since I updated it.

I was glad to have the new résumé, but it also made me sad because I feel like I missed out on many jobs — especially ones that I really wanted.

I said, "Oh, yeah, I definitely will qualify for this." I'd set my LinkedIn filters. I would apply for jobs that just opened in the past 24 hours with under 10 applicants. It's like, "OK, this only has three applicants. I meet all the requirements besides a bachelor's degree in finance." I have the required experience. Then, my résumé was automatically rejected.

Where I go from here

In the end, I will probably keep both versions of my résumé. I want to have one that stands out when a person actually looks at it — one that jumps out against all the other black-and-white, simpler résumés. And then I'll have the résumé I enter in the system for the ATS.

All of this just makes me feel like, "What is the point of having recruiters if you're going to have a system that flags everything?" I get it from an HR standpoint. If I were a recruiter, I would not want to go through 5,000 applications. However, as someone who's job seeking, this system doesn't work.

At my last job, my mental health was deteriorating. But I have a new source of stress now. Part of me feels like I'm being punished for not staying at my job — like I stuck my neck out too far. I wasn't arrogant when I left, but I did have the mindset that I could find something else because I have experience and I have a degree. And in the past, I was always getting recruited.

When you've been unemployed for four months, you feel like maybe you were too arrogant. Maybe I wasn't humble enough. Maybe I should have stuck it out. Maybe I should have just stayed until there was something else. You have all these scenarios that go through your head when you're just not getting anything. It is very demoralizing.

Now, when I apply, it often feels like it's just about what scans in the system. If you can get through the system, then you can prove yourself or have someone take a chance on you. But you have to get through the system first.

Delta to resume Tel Aviv service from New York-JFK on Friday

Nonstop daily service resumes June 7 after extensive security risk assessment, as the airline continues to closely monitor the situation in Israel.

Delta will resume daily nonstop service to Tel Aviv (TLV) from New York-JFK this summer, operating the route on an Airbus A330-900neo that will provide customers with nearly 2,000 weekly seats from New York to Israel.

The decision to resume the route on June 7, 2024, which was temporarily suspended in October 2023, follows an extensive security risk assessment by the airline. Delta continues to closely monitor the situation in Israel in conjunction with government and private-sector partners.

In recent months, Delta has strengthened its presence in Israel through a codeshare arrangement with EL AL Israel Airlines. Delta customers have access to EL AL’s direct services to Tel Aviv from major U.S. cities like New York-JFK, New York-Newark, Boston, Los Angeles, Miami and Fort Lauderdale. With the reinstatement of Delta’s New York-JFK service this summer, customers have additional travel choices connecting North America and Israel.

An Adelaide teenager is using her three-year experience with chronic pain to help others

For the past three years, Adelaide teenager Kate Smith has battled constant pain that has impacted "every single aspect" of her life.

A panic attack left behind a headache which has never really gone away.

"It was absolutely terrifying," she said. 

"We got brain scans and everything, and there was a time where I thought 'do I have a brain tumour?', 'am I going to die?', 'what's going on?'

"You go one week, and then a fortnight, then a month, and you think, 'when is this going to stop?'"

Kate, 17, is just one of more than 3 million Australians currently living with chronic pain, a condition she had no idea about until she was diagnosed by her doctor.

She said it came as a huge shock and left her riddled with fear.

"When I think of year 9 Kate, when it first started, I don't really remember being at school at all – I just remember sitting in my room feeling miserable," she said.

"It was just so impossible to get to school, try and complete assignments and learn content when I was so unfamiliar with this pain, and I had no idea what was going on.

"I thought I was completely alone; I had no friends or anyone I knew who had chronic pain."

Now, Kate has learned to live with her constant headache and wants to use her experience to help others.

Hospital campaign aims to help chronic pain sufferers

She has joined forces with the Women's and Children's Hospital (WCH) to help other young people through their own chronic pain journey.

"Clearly there were, and are, people around me who do live with chronic pain … so raising awareness is important because it is so easy to feel super isolated and alone when that isn't the case at all," she said.

Kate and her mum Tracy, along with other families, have shared their stories in a new video campaign which hopes to provide support strategies to young South Australians experiencing chronic pain to ensure they can continue their education.

Service data from the WCH indicates young South Australians experiencing chronic pain have been missing an average of 5.4 days of school in a fortnight.

WCH paediatric chronic pain service lead Dr Nicki Ferencz said the videos deliver a "powerful" message which provides families, clinicians, and teachers with ways of managing chronic pain.

"The more we can improve those conversations so we can put practical strategies in place to help children move, find support and get better, that's what we need to do," she said.

Doctors say chronic pain can 'pop up' from anything

Dr Ferencz said despite research showing chronic pain was a significant issue for young people and their health, there was often a lack of coordinated care provisions available to them.

"Chronic pain can pop up for many reasons – it can come because you've had an injury, have a chronic health condition, or it can actually happen out of the blue – and it hangs around," she said.

"For children going through their developmental process, where they are having to navigate school, navigate developing their relationships and who they are, that can be incredibly challenging.

"Even talking about having chronic pain, it is hard for them to find the words to describe what is occurring and what to do about that."

Tracy said raising awareness and shining a spotlight on an often "invisible" condition was important to them after their own experiences.

"Every day for the last three years, people have been looking at her – and she masks it well like many kids – and they don't know she has chronic pain," she said.

"But if she had a really bad day, you wouldn't see her because she's in her bedroom having a sleep."

Kate's doctors are hopeful she might one day wake up without a headache, but in the meantime, she has been determined not to let it get in the way of completing year 12.

Tracy said her daughter has accepted that this might be her life, which has been an important part in her recovery during the past three years.

"Having said that, if she wakes up tomorrow morning and tells me her headache is gone, we're going to throw a really big party," she said.
