Hello, I’m Alaina

Welcome to Good Friend Resumes, your hub for everything resume writing, job hunting, interviewing and career navigating.

Let’s make this your easiest job hunt yet…

Hey there, I’m Alaina

Lover of tiny dogs, long brunches, big sunglasses, and helping people nail their job hunt.

After graduating uni, I had no idea how to get a job. I stumbled my way through writing a pretty shitty resume, applying to jobs that never got back to me, and interviewing for roles that I had no idea what they involved.

I landed a job in employment services (kind of ironic) and have job hopped ever since.

Taking my training as a writer and combining it with my knowledge of the employment industry, I’ve been writing winning resumes and cover letters for four years now.

I’m keen to help you avoid my early job hunt blunders and set you up for career success!

This one's for that guy who told 19 year old me that the only people he knew with arts degrees worked in retail (as if working in retail is a bad thing??), and that guy only. Pls don't read this if you're not that guy. Thanks! #artsdegree #Universit
Are you watching Season 2 of The White Lotus and thinking "Same, Portia, sameee" ? You might not be on holidays with your erratic, emotionally unstable boss, but if you're in need of another job, a career shake up or even just help landin
