Kavita Sharma 15 days ago As an aspiring public service officer, I understand that first impressions matter—especially when your résumé is often your only introduction to a selection panel. Steve transformed my résumé from a functional but uninspired document into a polished, professional showcase reflecting my skills, values, and commitment to serving the community.Before Steve’s help, my résumé listed my experiences but didn’t tell my story. Steve reorganised the content with the precision of a policy drafter—every section now flows logically, each achievement is framed in clear, impactful language, and my community engagement and leadership experiences are presented with the weight they deserve.What impressed me most was Steve’s ability to tailor the tone and structure for the public service context. He ensured my competencies aligned with key selection criteria without overloading the reader, making my résumé compelling and informative.The result is a document I’m proud to submit for any public service opportunity. It demonstrates what I’ve done and who I am as a candidate—capable, ethical, and ready to contribute.If you want a résumé that does more than just list your qualifications, Steve is the professional who can make it stand out. DOTE FISH 21 days ago I am absolutely ecstatic about the quality of my final resume and covering letter.
