Recent client & recruiter feedback.

Hi Kate, I hope you are well. I’m just letting you know I’ve accepted an offer from Atlassian and I start 28 July. I have been consulting since mid March. My CV has had loads of compliments and I’ve shared your details a few times!! Thanks for helping me tell my story and build my confidence back after a difficult year. You are AWESOME! Kris

Kris Teychenne | Sydney | Pepole & Culture

“Wow things have moved fast! Just spoke to the recruiter and she said when she saw my CV she thought I’m a superstar and we need to snap her up… thought you’d want to hear that feedback.

You’re a legend for making me shine Kate… thank you.”

Lisa Martin | Public Sector | May 2025

Kate — Thank you SO SO much for this work.

Honestly, when I started this process, I admit to being that person who thought maybe I should just do it myself because how hard can it really be? 😉 Well, after seeing how hard you worked, and the quality of what you produced I quickly realised there is a reason why we should invest in the experts — I love my new CV and LinkedIn profile and quite frankly, I wouldn't have come close to producing what you did.

Will be singing your praises and referring you all over — thanks Kate, and thanks for being fun, easy, but also results driven… loved that a few times you pushed me hard!!!  Ha ha.

Sarah M | CEO, NZ non-profit | March 2025

“Hello Kate

Good news is that I applied for three jobs I got through to the final interview on all three with my CV. One of them put an offer on the table on Friday awaiting the paperwork and I will resign next week.

The other two I was unsuccessful both of which were number two and three on my list of companies to work for which is good news… so champagne was drunk on Friday night.

Thank you so much for your help, Anthony.”

Kate's approach is designed to maximise enhancing your profile and presenting your professional journey in a powerful and clear manner. I picked up two interviews that led to final phase as a direct result of Kate's work. She's a joy to work with and knows 'communications' very very well. I've seen immediate & improved engagement with my profile on LinkedIn and believe you will too.

Hi Kate

I got this great feedback on the CV from a new recruiter I caught up with Friday. Couldn’t wait to share it with you! ——-

“Great CV by the way! It’s pretty much bang-on and I very rarely say that to people. Punchy with all the right messages highlighted top and centre, AND only 3 pages!”

My eyes are now well and truly peeled and ears pressed to the ground.

Will get back to you later today to answer some of those questions, but just to say at first glance over my morning coffee - WOW!!!

I had that moment where I go, oh this is why we pay the pros to do this work!! I feel like this CV truly reflects who I am and the fact you managed to capture that through my rough notes is incredible!”

CEO | NZ | March 2025

Little did I know the positive impact Kate would have on me. Kate is a true professional and highly talented in the area of communications.

Kate made my CV shine. The key successes jumped off the page and my career story is so much more digestible. Positive feedback has been received from recruitment experts complimenting me on the strength of the CV and the way my career has been represented in such a succinct fashion.

Whilst the CV is so much stronger, the side benefit is the confidence this now offers me step out into the market and track down my next leadership opportunity.

- Drew F | Chief Commercial Officer

“I had the pleasure of working with Kate to develop my executive CV and board CV, and I couldn't be more impressed with the results. Her expertise and attention to detail transformed my professional story into a compelling and polished document.

As a CEO, I value precision and clarity in communication, and Kate delivered on both fronts. She skilfully highlighted my accomplishments and skills, capturing the essence of my leadership journey.

Thanks to Kate, I now have a powerful tool that reflects my career journey accurately and authentically.

- Tracey Taylor | CEO & Board member

Definitely worth the investment. Kate turned around my resume in less than a week, and this enabled me to secure an interview, and a "Head of" role. I highly recommend Kate.

- Vic Marotta | Head of Procurement | Sydney

At a time when I had just been disestablished and my world felt pretty stressful, it was recommended to me that I get in touch with Kate.

Having never met her before, within 5 minutes on the phone with her I was feeling stronger, more confident and most importantly we had a clear plan.

Kate was efficient, on point, professional and clearly experienced. I now have a CV and LinkedIn that I am proud of for the first time. I highly recommend Kate.

– Kerryn Drew

“I engaged Kate's professional services to assist me to craft a successful CV, with the end goal to not only change roles, but to also change industries.

I found her very easy to work with, she asked constructive probing questions, and took time to understand, and translate onto the page, the key business management aspects of my role at the time…

Kate was always professional, on time, and more importantly on point. I was successful in my goals, in no small smart to the modern and clear documents Kate produced for me. Several employers, including my current, commented on the strength of my CV.

Kate - thank you very much.”

– Matthew Gillespie | Branch Manager

Kate was recommended by a friend to help me with updating my CV. Kate was very responsive and agreed to assist me within a very short time-frame.

What impressed me most was Kate's desire to understand "me" and ensure that my cv reflected my personality as well as my work experience and successes. Kate's level of communication was excellent and I felt involved in the entire process. I now have a cv that I am proud of and it has given me an enhanced level of confidence. I cannot recommend Kate highly enough for her professionalism, expertise, communication and commitment.

– Maureen Thompson | Senior Manager

Highly recommend Kate! Writing about myself is a task I have always struggled with and put to the bottom of my lists. Kate has an amazing style, she got to know me me, and linked my story together in a cohesive but concise way. 🤩🤩

- Kylie Cook | Sales leader, NZ

I engaged Kate to help me get my resume match fit after getting average feedback for my previous version. I needed something which would stand me ahead of other people.

I have already had positive feedback from an Executive recruitment agent. If you are looking to stand out from the crowd, give Kate a call.

- Paul Stevens | IT Program Manager

Updated April 2025: new role secured.

Kate, Thank you so much for helping me present the best summary of me in a handful of pages🩵.”
