I reached out to Resumes for Dudes based on a recommendation from a friend, as I was looking to side step in my career and wanted some guidance tailoring my resume. Patrick was EXCELLENT. He is so responsive and listened carefully to what I was looking to achieve.Following our consultation, Patrick somehow managed to condense four pages to two, even when adding in multiple elements that he identified had been missing from my existing resume - he is clearly an expert in his field.Following a two-week job search armed with this resume and multiple invitations to interview, I have just secured an offer to a dream role - thanks Patrick!

If your experience was like mine, your resume will likely be thrown in the bin before the HR manager reads it.- Formatting of the resume looked like a website from the 90's. Too many fonts and too much text. His website is the same, way below the standard that is expected these days.- He took a standard approach to resume writing (getting your personal statement up front), but then screwed up all the details (unnecessary fluff, too many buzz words, too generic).- He didn't take the time to understand me, the role, or the areas that separate me from the competition.Just google it and look for a guide that starts with your personal statement (who you are/why you're valuable), lists jobs starting with the most recent, and lists big achievements (about 1 per year of work).

Patrick was amazing from start to end of my resume makeover.

Patrick Harnett at "Resumes for Dudes" first did my Resume' and Cover Letter in Early 2018. I immediately began to get work with Teir 1 companies from then till now. As an Electronics and Communication Technician I needed someone who could understand my technical field of work and craft a resume' to reach my target employers. They have done this. I have full confidence in Resumes for Dudes to represent me, with excellence, to prospective employers.

Chose to use this resume service based on all the good reviews I read. Paid over $379 dollars for resume and cover letter. I originally talked with Patrick then was assigned another resume writer. I was concerned that my resume was a bit tricky and asked for a face to face interview to make sure they could get an understanding of my needs. Patrick assured me they could get all the information via phone call. I provided my last resume I had written for me ( which was terrible) and had a brief telephone conversation with my assigned resume writer. She then proceeded and wrote a first draft for me. The draft was so terribly written, hard to follow , spelling errors bad grammar. The draft was worse than the original , they were so far off the mark that in the end I got my partner to do for me ( I got offered the first job I applied for with the resume my partner wrote for me)In the end Resume for Dudes charged me $379 for a poorly written draft that probaly took them less than an hour to do. I emailed them to tell them I wasn't happy with draft.They have never called me or followed up on why I stopped at the draft point but were happy to take my money. Worst $379 I have ever spent

I've never used a professional resume writer before but after using Patrick I can 100% say I definitely needed it! The difference between my old "run of the mill' resume and the one I received from Patrick is like Chalk and Cheese!I'm very happy with the results and the timely manner, from my initial enquiry through to completion, that Patrick has responded to any communications I had with him.I would 100% recommend him to anyone else and use him again in the future.

Very impressed with the level of service I received from Pat: my resume was initially 7 pages with info added in over my years of work .Pat responded promptly to my request for an up to date revamp of my tired old resume. He called on Friday afternoon to discuss what he could offer while gathering the info required from myself, True to his word the draft was in my inbox Monday afternoon 1 or 2 tiny changes done immediately by Pat and my cover letter and resume where both finalised and on there way to get me a job.Polite,thorough,efficient and all at great price Cheers Pat

I was privileged to use Patrick's services twice in my career journey. The first time when I was desperately applying for jobs with no satisfactory result and the other one just recently since I launched my small consultancy business.Patrick is a great listener and open to new ideas and comments to assist his customers to achieve their goals. He provides you with a free health check on your CV. Then, you get to have a 15 minutes phone interview with him, following with his constructive feedback on your CV, LinkedIn, and Cover Letter. He generally charges reasonable amount for his services.No matter whether you are an immigrant or English is your mother tongue language, you should definitely consider using Patrick's services if you intend to climb up the ladder in your organization or land a better job.

I recently moved to Australia from the United States. I’m wanting to get into the mining industry but was struggling a bit to translate my work experience into a resume focused on said industry.

I was that, "and by the way can you.." guy. Patrick was patient and precise. I requested 1 resume, and two 2 separate cover letters. The documents have been completed to such a high quality or I can say is money well spent.

Nim B.

03:00 19 Jun 23

Amazing service. Pat and Paula have made me feel more confident about an approach to write a resume. I really found the 'health check' very useful because it has allowed me to tailor further resumes for submission. They have also given me brilliant advice to coping with job application wait times.I can't wait to hear back about the resume and will reupdate the post when I get the final version of the resume.Edited: Two companies have called me for an interview within 12-24hrs of viewing the resume - this is brilliant and i have tried so many different templates, to no avail.
