Major in Computer Science

Ain Shams University

Coming from Egypt as an immigrant with little knowledge about how life and work are in Melbourne, I tried to get myself up and running with the knowledge I already have from my previous experiences. Armed with my resume and cover letter, my original strategy was to send them out to as many jobs online as I could. I quickly found that was not helpful as the rate of agents, recruiters and companies getting back to me was too little. After a while, I realised that a lot of the recruiters don't even go through the whole length of my resume and they didn't grasp my skills and experiences. Of course my resume was a great one from my perspective back in Egypt, but things here are different!

That's when I began searching for professional help in changing my resume into one that is in line with the Australian standards and tailored to my needs, skills and experiences. By that,GradSolutions stood out from the crowd with their broad presence in different recruiting events, their website and blog and even the number of people recommending their services. So I registered online and it didn't take long for them to contact me for a free assessment session, and that's when I found that their resume and interview services was the right fit for me and my needs.

GradSolutions professionally handled my resume and cover letter re-writing, which was really a great one that helped me get more market penetration and more interview chances. With GradSolutions' help and a recommendation from a friend, I finally got my current job as software engineer in Premier Technologies.

I am confident that with Gradsolutions' professional help and advice, along with a positive attitude and great dedication, many will also find success. That's why I heartily recommend GradSolutions to be your partner in your job hunting success.

Hi all, my name is Steven. I graduated from Deakin University in 2009 with a Bachelor of Commerce. I have been busy since then and went overseas to get some experience. When I came back to Australia, I had a hard time in getting a job. I sent hundreds of applications but hardly got any response. Then one of my friends introduced me to GradSolutions, I decided to try it out.

GradSolutions polished my resume into the correct format, as well as equipped me with a competitive cover letter. They also gave me constructive interview training and built up my confidence even more. Furthermore, the consultants trained me, provided me with useful advices and constructive feedback; which I believed to be very crucial to tackle up the challenges in the interview process.

Today, I work at an insurance company as an operation support officer, and I am very satisfied with the position. It was a long process and full of hard work; however with patience and positive attitude, your time will come. With all the help you receive from GradSolutions, I believe you will be able to tackle the challenge.

For you, job-seekers, do not waste more of your time since it is precious! It is now time for you take a step forward and ask for help from the professional, which is GradSolutions. Believe me, it was worth it.

Graduate Diploma of Engineering

Swinburne University of Technology

Dear All, my name is Yashasvi Shah. I had previously worked in Western Australia as a Manufacturing Engineer for two years and thought of returning to Melbourne with the hope that my work experience would help me obtain a new job easily. I started applying for jobs with more confidence and was even more disappointed as I did not receive any response from employers or recruitment agencies.

Soon I began to look for engineering jobs more proactively, since I was getting tired of applying online and not getting any response. I met GradSolutions at the Swinburne Careers and Employment Fair back in March 2011 and decided to come for the FREE initial apppointment. The Career Consultant reviewed my resume and recommended me to take up the Resume Refinement and Cover Letter Writing package, which I did, and my resume and cover letter were revised according to the specific needs of the Australian employment market.

As soon as I started applying for jobs with my revised resume and cover letter, I started receiving calls from employers, but it only went that far, and I did not get a chance to demonstrate my skills. So I decided to take up their Professional Development Program and that was the turning point for my career. During the program, I learnt to perceive the interview process from the point of view of employers. I had a couple of interviews soon after, and to prepare for those interviews, my Senior Consultant conducted Mock Interview Sessions for me so I could practice my answers and bolster my confidence.

I was career focused so I applied for jobs in QLD and NSW as well as VIC. After a few unsuccessful attempts, I finally managed to obtain a job in one of Australia’s booming industries!

I can't even begin to express my gratitude towards GradSolutions. I had the skills and education as well as relevant work experiences, but it was GradSolutions who showed me the way, to get through the selection process and achieve success! Everytime I felt discouraged and frustrated with my job search, I went to GradSolutions. They gave out a very positive vibe, and my Senior Consultant as well as Career Consultant gave me lot of confidence and enthusiasm.

To conclude, keep faith in your own ability, stay positive and be optimistic. I had applied to thousands of jobs got rejections from almost everyone. When an employer does not give you a chance, keep in mind that they have not realised your potential yet, so don’t get discouraged! Have 3 Ps: Patience, Perseverance and Positivity.

Thank you GradSolutions!

Diploma of Financial Services

Holmesglen Institute of TAFE

Hi everyone, my name is Anna Tran. I completed my Diploma of Financial Services at Holmesglen Institute a while back, and I began to look for jobs straight after completing this qualification. I studied very hard to obtain good grades, but after my graduation, I faced a lot of difficult challenges in trying to look for and secure a job in Australia. The Australian employment market was as competitive as ever, and I wasn't quite ready for it.

GradSolutions has helped me in many ways, especially in improving the quality of my resume, tailoring a cover letter which was specifically written for me, conducting numerous mock interviews which gave me plenty of practice and hands-on insights, as well as giving me numerous career building one-on-one consultations during the Professional Development Program with my Senior Consultant. I felt increasingly more confident after each of my consultations. I started to realise my true strengths and weaknesses, and I worked on making the most of out them effectively.

GradSolutions worked hard beside me every step of the way, and in the end I finally managed to land my first full-time job as a Customer Service Officer at AMES. I'm very delighted with the quality of GradSolutions’ services, and their useful career advice has assisted me in reaching my goal and obtaining this exciting job.

For all jobseekers out there, I wish you all the very best in your job search, and I believe that if you try hard you will definitely get your dream job eventually. Thank you for reading my story, and many thanks to GradSolutions once again!

Master of Multimedia Design

Monash University

I graduated from Monash University a year ago. After I completed my Master’s Degree in Multimedia Design, it was hard for me to find a related job since I did not have enough working experiences. Although I worked in a small company for a year, I decided to find another job because the work became more and more irrelevant to my interested field. That’s when I started job-hunting again. I was actually going through recruitment agencies but they were unresponsive. One day, my friend recommended me to GradSolutions. With my wife’s full support, I decided to give it a shot!

I would like to thank my consultant for her patience and for always being considerate. Just after 3 weeks, I became more confident. The team then further helped me polish my resume and amazingly, I no longer get rejection letters from companies like I used to earlier, but interview calls instead! I would definitely recommend GradSolutions to you because GradSolutions is different. The consultant is really considerate and patient. You don’t need to be ashamed or worried about your English. Just be confident!

Peter Huang

Welling & Crossley

Master of Electronic Engineering

RMIT University

Hi everyone, my name is Peter, and I am originally from China. Like most of the overseas students in Australia, my dream is to find a good job relating to what I have studied. Half year ago, I got my first job in Melbourne as an electronic engineer. Words couldn't express how excited I was. Here I would like to express my sincere thankfulness to Gradsolutions who help me a lot throughout the whole job hunting process. At the beginning I had lots of doubts on whether it would really help because I believed that employers value technical skills more than other aspects (such as appearances, professional skills, interview manners, etc.) in the Engineering sector.

My view changed after a few talks with the Career Consultants at Gradsolutions. According to their advice, “selling myself” as a person is as important as all the technical skills I possess as an Engineering graduate.

I would like to appreciate my Senior Consultant who assisted me with my job search, as she was a good mentor, and was very professional and committed to her candidates. I picked up heaps of essential interview skills and mock interview experience from her, which had benefited me all the way throughout my interviews. Her encouragement and constructive feedback successfully strengthened my confidence in answering any interview questions.

David Zheng

Australian Stock Report

Master of Professional Accounting

RMIT University

My name is David Zheng. Coming from China and graduated from RMIT University with a Master of Professional Accounting, I thought that finding a job with a higher qualification would be much easier. However, I graduated during the worldwide economic crisis and jobs were extremely hard to find. I was rejected time and time again and I was about ready to return to China for good because I was feeling hopeless.

As I was preparing to return to China, I was introduced to GradSolutions by a friend. I attended a free consultation with them and decided to undertake their Complete Package. The package consisted of Resume Refinement and Cover Letter (RRCL) services and Professional Development Program. After going through their services, my resume was given a new fresh professional makeover which generated much better response compared to my original copy. My resume was refined to suit jobs I applied for and was specifically catered to the job market requirements.

After landing interviews with my refined resume, the Professional Development Program equipped me with newfound confidence in handling interviews. Most importantly, the program also taught me to familiarize myself with the Australian culture in order to to improve my chances of getting the job I wanted.

With the help of Gradsolutions' ongoing support on resume refinement and mock interview sessions, I managed to secure a job at the Australian Stock Report. I am now earning more than a graduate pay with a basic pay plus uncapped commission with reports sold.

Thank you Gradsolutions! I wouldn't be where I am now without your help.

Suheri Purnomo

Architecture Design Consultant

Bachelor of Architectural Design

RMIT University

My name is Suheri Purnomo. I studied Bachelor of Architectural Design at RMIT University and I have just recently graduated in July 2010. I was looking for jobs in the architecture industry with no luck for 3 months prior to joining GradSolutions. I did not know what was wrong in my resume and cover letter. I did get an interview once but was immediately turned down afterwards. I was clueless as how to approach job interviews.

It all changed when I was introduced to GradSolutions on September 2010. A Marketing Officer who was walking around Melbourne CBD with an orange clipboard approached my sister asking if she knew someone who was looking for jobs and she quickly told the person about me. GradSolutions then contacted me shortly after and offered me their training programs. At first I was a bit hesitant but after reading the success stories of the company's past candidates, I began to consider the possibility of using GradSolutions' services to finally land a job.

The first thing that I did after signing up was applying for the Resume Refinement and Cover Letter (RRCL) program. The Senior Consultant did a brilliant job in making my resume convincing enough for prospective employers. I did a little bit of tweaking in terms of layout design and appearances because in the design industry it is essential for resumes to look vibrant and unique. The tweaking process was helped by my Senior Consultant to make sure that the final product could still look professional.

I received calls from some prospective employers after that but my applications were yet to be successful. This prompted my decision to take up the Complete Package. My Senior Consultant pointed out every single thing that I did wrong which hindered me from passing job interviews. She also helped me day by day via phone correspondence, email and face-to-face consultations. She gave me advice on how to present myself properly in an interview, not just through verbal gestures but also physical appearances. Little additional advice and mental support was also provided which boosted my employment chance.

In the end I finally managed to secure a full-time job! As of now I am working as a Design Consultant in an architecture firm and I would like to extend my gratitude to GradSolutions for being helpful and dedicated in helping me during the entire process. All the hard work, tenacity and support from my Senior Consultant were really beneficial for me.

A piece of advice for all job-seekers out there: Never give up! Keep trying even when you fail and be sure to ask GradSolutions to assist you with your concerns. You will achieve your targets and get the positions you want!

Asiri Pramod

Network Support Engineer

Master of Network Systems

Swinburne University of Technology

My name is Asiri Pramod. I did my Masters in Network Systems at Swinburne University of Technology. I was doing my last semester when I got to know about Gradsolutions when I went to the Herald Sun Job Fair in Melbourne with my friends earlier this year. GradSolutions contacted me within a few days and explained everything clearly and I kept my full faith with them because I felt it was very legitimate.

I was seeking employment for nearly 2 years before (since 2008) but I could not find at least a part time job. I received free career support provided by my university but none of them worked for me. It started to become very stressful for me after a while, and really discouraging as well. I did not get even a single phone interview with my old resume.

Believe me or not, once I enhanced my resume with Gradsolutions, I got the 1st telephone call within 2 weeks. So I got to know that the service really worked. I participated in their Professional Development Program and got in touch with a very kind and experienced Senior Consultant. She taught me everything necessary to get an interview and how to pass an interview from A to Z. Her tips and advice were very helpful because I was an overseas student who didn't have a clue about what Australians expected from candidates.

I took everything seriously and did as my Senior Consultant taught me because I was really fed up of applying for hundreds of applications for 2 years. I did my part and gave it my best shot. I got two interviews in two different companies due to Gradsolutions and finally I was successful with one of the companies. The entire process took only 3 months.

Now I am a Network Support Engineer in an established company; something I wouldn't have even dreamed of before I joined GradSolutions. I am very proud of my job now and I couldn't have done it without help. I think it is very worth "investing" money to maximize you chances with Gradsolutions because their programs really work. Good luck!

Bachelor of Commerce (Accounting)

Deakin University

My name is Angie Cui, and I am writing this to recommend everyone to join GradSolutions.

GradSolutions offers great career development services. I have maintained excellent communication skills and have also improved my interview skills through their guidance and various professional programs. GradSolutions has successfully taught me how to become a professional business person, and I found their Professional Development Program extremely helpful for me in refining my capabilities. I obtained not only the skills needed for interviews but also the confidence to present myself well within a business environment.

I have had my fair share of difficulties during my job-seeking process, so I understand that job hunting is a torturing process for any job seekers out there. I was extremely exhausted and discouraged at first; however, the Senior Consultant who worked with me always supported me and told me to never give up. After three long and arduous months, I finally received a job offer from ANZ, and as of now I am working full-time.

I would like to extend my gratitude to GradSolutions for their kind help and assistance. Thank you GradSolutions!
