Testimonials

I wish to thank Harriet and the service she supplied in my first resume for 10 years. Starting from scratch was hard, but she made it very easy by constant consulting and providing suggestions to achieve the best possible resume for me. I also used Harriet for a cover letter that was spot on, short, sharp and concise I was very pleased. I couldn’t recommend highly enough for anyone wishing to complete a resume or cover letter.

I’d recommend Harriet Dawson Consulting in a heart beat to any individual out there looking to land their first job or those established professionals whom are seeking further progression in their career. My consultation session with Harriet Dawson Consulting was conducted in a well time framed and articulate manner , the smallest detail that I simply chose to ignore in a face to face interview situation was immediately addressed by her and provided with more appropriate alternative that simply adds incredible value to the whole of personal presentation attractiveness towards employers. Moreover, it is her network in the HR industry that impressed me the most, after finding out my direction of interest in industries, within few phone calls made she had identified an opportunity for me. She has certainly well over-delivered my expectations.

Glen Allpress

I really appreciate the work Harriet put in to creating a great resume and cover letter for me. In order to fast track my resume and cover letter, Harriet provided me an initial consultation outside of normal working hours, at a time which was convenient to me. She was helpful and flexible with her communications. Her attention to detail, layout and advice on what to include/exclude in a resume was very valuable. Thanks Harriet.

My experience with Harriet Dawson Consulting was excellent from start to finish.  I decided to take the full package of resume, letter of application and interview coaching – and I’m so glad I did.  Harriet’s succinct and polished writing and expert coaching was invaluable. I learnt so much in the process, blitzed my competition and was offered the job I’d been wanting for so long.
Now that I take part in the recruitment of new staff, I can see even more powerfully, how needed Harriet’s services are – I’d love to refer all the applicants to her. Thank you Harriet!

Service provided by Harriet was fantastic.   After 16 years of not looking for a role Harriet provided me (at very short notice) with a great resume and interview training which allowed me to be confident when attending my first interview in many, many years!

Rosa Gentile

Dane Baxter

Harriet was an absolute pleasure to deal with.  She was prompt and her communication was excellent, updating me at every stage of the process.  I have always struggled to write about myself and draw out transferable skills relevant to various job applications. Through phone calls and several emails, Harriet compiled professional, concise, and most importantly, appealing documents.  She is committed to finding the right balance between her client’s requests while also incorporating her own extensive experience within the recruitment industry. I am extremely happy with both my Cover Letter and Resume.  In future, I will be returning to Harriet Dawson Consulting for assistance when the occasion arises

I’d like to thankyou for the excellent job you did in compiling my resume.

I was a person who was incredibly nervous and who would draw blanks in interviews. My performance on occasions was shocking. Interviewers would look at me and I could tell they felt sorry for me!

I would highly recommend her services to anyone looking to perfect their interview skills.

It was a pleasure to work with Harriet Dawson Consulting who tailored my new resume and cover letter. Harriet conducted a thorough consultation and understood the job expectations and responsibilities. Harriet was able to create my resume highlighting my strengths and experience that would assist me in applying for a professional tourism related role. Thank you for giving me the confidence to start my new career.

Janelle Nicholson

Moving from London to Australia, having worked for the same company for over 8 years, my resume was well and truly in need of a refresh and some local knowledge. Harriet Dawson Consulting was recommended to me by a friend, and I was not disappointed with the service. After some initial questions and example roles were exchanged via email, I met Harriet for a consultation where we went through my resume line by line, in order to tailor it to the specifics of the roles I was looking at. Harriet then had my brand new resume to me within the week. I have since had a very positive response to my updated resume with one recruitment consultant remarking that my resume was exactly how he would advise job-seekers to set it out for maximum impact.

Matt

Thank you very much for an excellent job with my resume and cover letter. Being a rush job I especially appreciate the time invested working after hours and even in the weekend.

Harriet Dawson Consulting provided me with an outstanding service that I doubt can be replicated by any other organisation. What impressed me most was the highly personalised and professional service that I experienced. From the detail and attention in my resume, to the in-depth interview coaching, I felt confident and prepared throughout the entire process. My consultant was knowledgeable and extremely helpful. Nothing was ever too much effort and as a result of their reverse marketing service, helped me land the job of my dreams! Needless to say, I would highly recommend Harriet Dawson Consulting

Catherine Parle

I was desperate to find someone to help me with my cover letter and resume. Out of all the companies I looked at, I picked Harriet Dawson Consulting and I am glad I did. Harriet wrote my entire resume and cover letter and since then the number of calls I received from employers and agencies vastly increased. I also booked an interview coaching session and this helped me improve my interviewing skills and I have had positive feedback on my performance in an interview, being told that the way I answered the questions was very good. I strongly recommend this consultant and Harriet Dawson Consulting.

MS

A thousand thank-you’s to Harriet for the many conversations and emails and her amazing professional approach to re-marketing myself with my new resume.  Harriet helped me reconnect with my professional career history after having a long break in my career as a part time working mum.  Harriet delved into the nooks and crannies of my professional career history to highlight the skills I could put to market in other industries.  The resume she created was so brilliant, I landed two great jobs, on the same day, in the same hour!

Susie O’Shea

I do want to thank you very much for your assistance. Your coaching was extremely helpful, and I went into the interview feeling confident and prepared. The mock interview in particular was an invaluable opportunity to ‘get a sense’ of what the interview would be like, and the questions you provided served as useful guidelines for my preparation at home. All the questions posed in the interview were very similar to those you had written, so I felt able to answer them in light of what we had talked about at my consultation. I definitely think my success in the interview is attributable to the specific areas about both content and presentation that you taught me. I will certainly recommend you to my friends.
