ABOUT
Hi there! I'm Emma.
I'm a greyhound loving coffee addict based in Melbourne / Naarm, Australia and the founder of Rescue My Resume.
I’m an expert in job search behaviour and career confidence, and I absolutely love helping people break through whatever’s holding them back in their careers.
Over the years, I’ve worked with more than 880 job seekers, supporting them to reconnect with their strengths, overcome self-doubt (hello, imposter syndrome!), and confidently market themselves for roles they actually want.
My own career journey wasn’t always smooth sailing. Even with a resume that got me interviews and job offers, I kept landing in roles that just didn’t feel right. That experience taught me something huge: a great CV is only part of the puzzle. Real career success comes from having clarity, confidence, and the ability to tell your story authentically.
That’s what inspired me to launch Rescue My Resume back in 2018, and it’s still at the heart of everything I do.
I specialise in supporting professionals – especially women – to identify their unique selling points and career achievements, and then weaving those into resumes and LinkedIn profiles that really sell them. I’m all about practical, step-by-step strategies mixed with a healthy dose of encouragement and empathy. If you’re struggling to articulate what’s amazing about you (or even just to believe it!), you’re in the right place.
A bit about my background: I’ve worked in administration, management, policy, and projects across higher education, government, and the not-for-profit world. I hold a Bachelor of Arts/Bachelor of Commerce, a Graduate Diploma in Education, and I’m also a trained life coach through the Beautiful You Coaching Academy – which means I bring a coaching mindset to every consult and call.
These days, I help people not just through 1:1 coaching and interview prep, but also with DIY templates and online programs so you can take charge of your own job applications – no matter your background or industry.
If you’re ready to get your confidence (and your career) back on track, and want a resume or application that makes employers desperate to meet you, let’s get started!
