Graduate Excellence

Graduate Excellence Specialising in resume writing and interview skills for graduates and young adults.

At Graduate Excellence, Alicia will take the time to coach you on creating an effective resume, specifically tailored to your employment roles of interest. Together with valuable in-depth analysis and training on effective interview skills, you will be confidently equipped to give yourself the best chance of standing out from the crowd. We welcome clients of all ages, with a specialty in coaching students and young adults entering the workforce. As a student looking to enter the workforce you may have limited professional work experience, and therefore have difficulty in writing an effective resume. At Graduate Excellence, we focus on self-awareness, arming you with the knowledge and understanding of what your strengths and weaknesses are to potential employers, and allowing you to capture that information most effectively in your professional documentation. Our experience has found that the many other service providers who offer to write a resume on your behalf, often supply you with a generic document, that neglects to reflect your experience and personality, failing to stand out in the eyes of potential employers. Furthermore, these operators only focus on one element of the recruitment process – the resume. Alicia offers services providing in-depth preparation and analysis on your interview style, giving you the best opportunity to present yourself in a light that is professional, natural, and true to self. As a Professional Member of the Australian Institute of Human Resources, Alicia is at the forefront of recruitment trends, and has up-to-date knowledge on what organisations are looking for from their graduate applicants. Prior to your coaching session, you will be asked to submit a copy of your current resume and any job advertisements that you would like to apply for. In the event that you do not have an existing resume, you will be provided with a number of templates for you to choose from, and begin the process of thinking about what a resume should entail. This will optimise the time spent with Alicia, giving you the opportunity to begin thinking about any questions you may have, and we will be able to customise the session to these needs.

It's so wonderful to receive positive feedback from a client! I'm very pleased to have been able to assist Angela find her ideal position:

"Last week a part time position came up for a local company. I decided to apply on the Friday. On Monday they called and conducted a phone interview and I was invited for a face to face interview. On the Tuesday I met with them and they said they would get back to me by the following day. They rang on the Wednesday to let me know that I had the job! I start on Monday morning! Perfect hours, location, days etc for me. I am really pleased with the outcome. I honestly believe that your assistance with my resume, cover letters and interview tips REALLY made a difference. Hopefully I can keep spreading the word whenever I see opportunities!"
