Success stories
At The CV Studio, we have seen hundreds of our clients find success. See what we did for these professionals.
Alcoa Refinery
Job Security
- Experience:
- 15+ Years
- Previous Job:
- Boilermaker
- Goal:
- Secure a permanent job locally at Alcoa Refinery
With 15+ years extensive experience working on the largest projects in Australia, Simon was looking for a permanent job in Perth, in order to be able to spend more time with his family and had been submitting applications through Alcoa's talent pool for over 2 years. However, Alcoa regularly receives hundreds of applications and, despite Simon's strong professional background, his resume was not getting past Applicant Tracking Systems that are looking for specific keywords. After a thorough review of his old CV, we have done a complete makeover and added appropriate keywords to ensure Simon's resume would pass the recruiting software and get the attention of hiring managers. After Simon put his new resume through the system, it immediately went to the right person and within a week he received a call from the recruitment team. We have also assisted him with interview preparation, which was a success, and he finally got a long-awaited job offer.
Oil & Gas Industry
Salary growth
- Experience:
- 5+ years
- Previous Job:
- Oil & Gas Engineer in Europe
- Goal:
- Re-enter the workforce in Australia after completing maternity leave, without taking a step back in the career
After 5 years' maternity leave and moving to Australia, Elena entered Perth's job market without any local experience. Her old resume was crammed and difficult for hiring managers to decipher. Whilst discussing her overseas Oil & Gas experience during our call, we identified a great passion for process improvement that was coupled with accomplished engineering expertise. Whilst building her resume, we concentrated on showing impact that her projects created, rather than operational routine. Elena clearly throws herself fully into everything she does and it shows. The new resumé has generated interviews for her in the largest mining and Oil & Gas companies in Australia. Elena eventually accepted the job offer that fully matched her family's needs and career aspirations.
Career Change: from legal to hospitality
Work-life balance
- Experience:
- 6+ years
- Previous Job:
- Legal Assistant
- Goal:
- Change industries with a resume and cover letter that told a cohesive story
Before finding her passion for the tourism industry, Anastasia studied International Law and worked in the legal industry for years. During her maternity leave, she was also running a small business providing party decoration services. When the time came to re-join the workforce, she decided to shift from the busy legal industry into hotel management, which provided much more flexibility and improved work-life-balance. The old legal-style resume did not reflect her customer-centricity and did not explain such a drastic career change, looking more like a set of disparate jobs. Anastasia used The CV Studio services to create a resume and a cover letter that tied all these careers together and told a compelling story of how you can apply dedication to customer service to a variety of roles by highlighting her transferable skills. And it worked. She landed a job at a large hotel in France and has subsequently progressed her career to the Program Director position in an international cruise ship company.
