Job Search Investment Made Easy: The Made Easy Series Collection, #1

By Annie Cerone

Secrets That Will Save You Hundreds of Dollars.

Part of the Made Easy Series Collection – Volume 1 of 5.

 

Would you like to know what other industry professionals are not telling you, which could potentially save you hundreds (even thousands) of dollars? In this book, you will discover what to look out for so you can make a more informed decision on whether it is worth your time, effort and dollars in applying for a job; the 'hidden' agenda embedded in role descriptions which is a giveaway in terms of the candidates they will give preference to in the selection process, and much more. This book is a must if you're looking at changing your career and/or industry sector.

 

You'll read and learn about one of my clients, who before finding my services had used other services over a six-month period to apply for roles in State (WA) Government. They paid up to $2,000 to have selection criteria developed by these services and did not get to the interview stage for any of the jobs. I advised they were targeting the wrong jobs in one of the toughest departments to break into, along with the fact the applications were poorly written with no specific examples using the STAR model. She was astounded by my honesty and that I didn't want to take her money until I recommended a more suitable job to apply for in a department that was easier to break into.

 

When you've got your foot in the door of the government sector, the sky's the limit! The same applies across all sectors of the job market.

 

The Made Easy series collection is the most detailed and compact career growth and job search series on the Australian job market. The series includes five (5) books: Job Search Investment Made Easy, Resume and Letter Transformation Made Easy, Targeted Questions Made Easy, Achievements and Skills Showcase Made Easy, and Job Interview Drivers Made Easy.

 

The Made Easy series is a one-of-a-kind, all-in-one resource that will help you to correctly search and apply for the right type of jobs in line with your experience and skillset, develop attention-grabbing interview-winning documents (in particular, resumes and cover/application letters). The series also provides you with research-proven and practical techniques and tips on how to win and ace job interviews.

 

The Made Easy series provides hundreds of examples to help you get noticed, get ahead of the pack and blitz your competition, secure job interviews, own your earning power and get the job. The series is an invaluable resource that creates zero stress throughout your entire job search journey, helping you target the right jobs; which in turn, will help you to save hundreds (even thousands) of dollars in the process of job hunting, and the job application preparation and interview stages.

Featured testimonials

I have been using Résumé by Design for over eight years. Annie's expertise secured me my first government role many years ago. Over time, I have returned to Annie to seek advice and professional services and time and again her products have secured me an interview. Annie provides a comprehensive service, analysing your application materials, and then providing a frank and honest assessment of the steps required to achieve success. Annie is direct in her approach; this is to achieve the desired outcome, not to coddle people's feelings. The cost is at the market rate for the services that are provided; they are perfectly reasonable. Annie's services are in high demand as she is often 'booked out'. For those who wish to use her services, I recommend contacting her as early as possible to avoid disappointment. If you are after high quality and timely service I recommend Résumé by Design.

J Royds | Manager, State (QLD) Government

I have used Annie’s services several times for résumé writing and selection criteria preparation. As a public servant, the job application process can be quite daunting. Fortunately, Annie makes the process so much easier – she has a thorough understanding of the requirements. As a result, I have made the transition and I’m now working for another government department in a higher ranking position.

Julie Bowles | Team Leader

"After 15 years of running my own business, I decided to seek a role in the public sector. Although I am a practised writer, I found it difficult and time-consuming to prepare applications that would get me in front of the selection panel to discuss my experience and ability to make a strong contribution in the proposed roles. Résumé by Design transformed my experience in preparing applications. My second application achieved an interview and I was subsequently offered a position. Annie's understanding of how to effectively communicate (in written form) with a selection panel in the terms they are seeking makes a huge difference. Therefore, I cut the time I needed to invest to generate a finely tuned application to 20% of
