Yes! Anne offers no-obligation quotes on what your needs are based on the discussion you have together. Call Anne on 0422 449 633 to talk through your needs.

Yes – Anne understands that not everyone has the budget to get their work professionally developed. In these cases Anne will critique the work and make suggestions for improvement, for a nominal fee of $50 to cover her time and her expertise.

You will need to provide Anne with:

• the job ad (or link) so she can see the closing date and requirements
• your current Resume and cover letter preferably in Word format (don’t worry about what it looks like)
• any information that is missing from your Resume, like training, jobs, change of address etc
• examples of your achievements, the things that you are proud of in your work history – Anne will help you identify these
• if it is a government role – at least one, perhaps 2 real life work examples of how you have met every Focus Capability for the role  – these examples are also interwoven in both your Resume and Cover Letter, and explained in full in your Selection Criteria document – Anne can help you identify these

Yes – however urgent work can be accommodated only if Anne has time to do it to the proper standard.

An urgent fee of $75 is payable for all urgent work, which guarantees your work becomes a writing priority, and development time is then 1-3 days to first draft stage (depending on how much work is involved).

The fastest time to achieve urgent work has been 4 hours (all the world was in alignment that day!) however 12-48 hours is more normal. 

So that you’re not disappointed, please remember that Anne does her absolute best to accommodate your request, however sometimes it’s just not possible.

Normally, it takes one calendar week from date of payment and all information being received, for the First Draft stage to be reached in the professional development of a Resume, Cover Letter and/or Selection Criteria, unless it is urgent.

When it has reached First Draft stage, Anne then emails it to you so that you have a chance to read through for accuracy, and it also gives you the opportunity to highlight any changes, additions or deletions that might need to be made.

You then advise Anne (in writing) of the changes that need to be made (either type into the document itself or advise her in an email) and she will make the adjustments and then send you the Final Copy by email, normally same day or within 24 hours.  

Urgent work can be accommodated only if Anne has time to do it to the proper standard – an urgent fee of $75 is payable for all urgent work, which guarantees your work becomes a writing priority, and development time is then 1-3 days to first draft stage (depending on how much work is involved).

Finally, you then save the Final Copy to your hard/thumb drive, and send/upload to the organisation by the closing date. 

If you applying for a  government/nfp/uni role that requires Selection Criteria/Focus Capability, then you will need to provide:

• at least one, perhaps 2 real life work examples of how you have met every Focus Capability for the role  – these examples are also interwoven in both your Resume and Cover Letter, and explained in full in your Selection Criteria document – Anne can help you identify these

Whether it is Interview, Confidence, Redundancy or Outplacement Coaching, coaching is a very personal, interactive, collaborative and wonderful approach to talking about and solving problems. 

Coaching is very different to therapy, as therapy can focus purely on reflective self-healing, whereas coaching is more active and allows for insight to be shown to the person on specifically what needs to change, and how to do it.

Coaching is interactive, and requires the person to try out ideas, implement and take action so that they see a change, make an improvement, or enhance a situation.

Anne’s expectation is that the person coming to coaching is prepared to listen and to want to change and make things better.

Anne is able to: 

• hold frank, honest but tactful difficult conversations 
• get to the root of the issue, and find a way forward

LinkedIn Profiles are a 2000 character (including spaces) opportunity to showcase an important part of your career/business brand to your network, recruiters/prospective clients.

People use this tool to validate and check you out.

Your brand (You) needs to be consistent across all documentation – clients can have just their LinkedIn Profile done as a stand alone, or have it done as part of their resume development, so that the information is up to date, relevant and targeted toward the actual job search or statement offering.

Your details are kept private and are never sold or given to a third party – ever!
