About Us

Hi I’m Miriam,

I have many years of experience in the careers sector and am genuinely passionate about helping others find career pathways and work to suit their unique situation.

As a trusted and proven professional, I’ve helped 2,500+ clients successfully step forward into job opportunities and new career pathways. Having been engaged as a career consultant for the Tertiary Education Commission, the Ministry of Social Development, and private clients from all sectors, I am proven to empower my clients to move forward into career options that work. 

Having worked as a CV Writer for leading Australasian CV Writing companies, I have helped hundreds of clients land their next ideal role through expert job-search coaching, CV writing services, and LinkedIn profile guidance.

As a member of the Career Development Association of New Zealand (CDANZ), I am committed to upholding the highest professional standards and ensuring I use the latest best practice models. As an Internationally Certified Advanced Resume writer and a member of Career Directors International, I bring a unique set of qualifications to help clients from all sectors move forward into new opportunities with confidence.

My career background spans government, not-for-profit, university, and corporate sectors, so I have a working understanding of many industries, including the tertiary education sector, and I have a keen interest in the latest trends in the labour market, HR, and recruitment practises.

“Whether you prefer in-person consults in the Bay of Plenty region or remote assistance from the comfort of your office or home, my services are designed to be flexible and accessible. My superpower is recognising your needs and empowering you to move forward.”
