Gayle Howard

Welcome

Hello. I’m Gayle Howard.

I love words, respect their power and I’m passionate about using language that evokes an immediate and positive reaction from employers.

Every resume I create, every coaching session I provide, every snippet of advice offered aims to help executives and senior managers promote their authenticity in ways no smart employer could dare resist.

I like to be first, just as I want my clients to be first past the finish line.

I was Australia’s first Master Resume Writer, Certified Expert Resume Writer and Certified Job Loss Recovery Coach—credentials still held by just a handful of professionals worldwide. An author, with additional works published in twenty-plus international career books, recipient of more than twenty-seven resume writing awards, and a specialist in creating unbeatable value propositions for senior executives for more than two decades, is your guarantee of excellence.

I write resumes

“… Gayle Howard is a creative dynamo. When I’m asked, ‘Who’s the best resume writer’ I always think of and recommend Gayle”

–Executive Director and President, Career Directors International, Laura DeCarlo.

I write books

PS… You Need a Resume! was my first book. Written almost a decade ago, it has constantly been updated to keep in line with the evolutionary changes that have taken place in the recruiting industry over the years.

Put simply, PS… You Need a Resume provides step-by-step instructions on how to develop, format and present a resume that knocks their socks off!

My other books include: PS… You’re a Resume Expert for professional resume writers, and A Satisfying Career—a guide for starting up a resume-writing business.

Writing for you

People often think that I am the "Martha Stewart" of career advice. Yes, while I write articles and books, I also write resumes. Let me write for you.

Excellence Commitment

27 TORI Awards (Toast of the Resume Industry) in ten years, are your guarantee of excellence.

Gayle, I can see why you have won awards. My resume has NEVER looked so good, and the cover letter is brilliant. Best decision I ever made.

Leonie, Communications Marketing and Event Management Manager

Just want to thank you for a fantastic CV. I used it twice for two interviews. One job offer with a happy employer and another disappointed potential employer. Fabulous job and unbelievable raise. Thanks. First class.

Paul, Senior Development Manager

I like the opening banner – cleaner, more visible and will have easy room to add more in future. Again, that’s what I have liked a lot about you–smart, unconventional but practical thinking

Aseem, International E-business Marketing & Management Consultant

This was the first job I applied for using the new resume and cover letter that you developed for me. It was a matter of less than 2 weeks between my first application and accepting a negotiated offer – a real whirlwind! Jason

Jason

FABULOUS! I went with my gut feeling about your cutting edge professionalism and you have shone through. The letter was smashing, in your face stuff.

Luke, Senior Special Events Manager

I recently got a graduate offer from PricewaterhouseCoopers, the largest professional services firm in the world, after an intense interview process. They offered me a top grad salary and needless to say, I’m extremely satisfied with the outcome, which I must admit seemed like a long shot even a couple of months ago. I’m one of the 150 graduates selected this year out of more than 1800 applicants, and to say that a good resume made a difference would be an understatement.

Stephen, Finance Graduate

Thank you again for the excellent resume work. It got me three interviews followed by three offers almost immediately. I am starting to work as an Information Analyst II next Monday. I am very impressed by your work.

Sergey, Information Analyst

Gayle, as always it has been a pleasure to work with you, or perhaps more accurately, be guided by you! Your patience and expertise have made a very difficult time for me much easier, and I do not say that lightly.

Alison, Senior Marketing & Communications Manager

Based on how pleasant it has been dealing with you, your efficiency and the high quality of the resume you produced, I have recommended you to four other people.

Leona, Infrastructure Manager.

I was still in South Africa when you wrote my resume some 14 months ago. I sent my resume to one company who gave me a call within 20 minutes of receiving my resume! I got an interview a month later in Perth and was appointed as a senior account broker – a role that is both challenging and rewarding.

Jaco, Senior Account Broker
