hello friend! I'm Amber.
Let me help you find a job you love.
I used to believe that the first step in changing your life for good was getting your Body, Mind and Money (the foundation core elements of life) under control.
But I was wrong.
You spend most of your time at work. You've got to sort this out first. (Quick smart).
Here's the hard truth - if you're just turning up for the pay check, that's the quickest way to drain yourself of battery charge.
If you don't like your job, and you come home exhausted after dealing with the relentless daily to-do list, spending your days with grumpy or gossipy colleagues, dealing with the demands of difficult customers or clients, being dictated to by company policies and procedures, spending time in useless meetings, or pushed to complete pointless workplace training, you won't have the energy to imagine a new future, let alone take the required action you need to make your BIG DREAMS come true.
(Netflix, couch and wine anyone?)
Which is why I went back to school to become a 'Career Development Practitioner' and founded BIG DREAM CAREERS.
You have one life.
This One Extraordinary Life.
I won't let you waste another 8 hours giving your time to an employer who doesn't value your input, surrounded by unenthusiastic or grumpy or nasty colleagues, being micromanaged or unsupported, doing meaningless stuff till the 5pm bell tolls.
It's time to do something differently, and I can help.
introducing BIG DREAM careers.
Welcome to my one-stop shop for all things job search, resumes and interview preparation.
I specialise in Professional Resume Writing Services.
Resume Writing is my bread and butter.
My alter-ego is 'The Resume Genie.'
I can help you make your BIG DREAMS come true!
professional resume writing.
My Professional Resume Writing Service is your only opportunity to work with me personally, one-to-one, in real life!
Each week, I work with 5-7 lucky individuals, helping each person to write the best 'classic' resume of their life.
A spellbinding document that charms the reader and makes them curious enough to call you!
We'll meet on Zoom, in person if you are local, or on the phone if you prefer - for a Discovery Discussion. (Allow 2.5 hours)
This is where I'll draw out the MAGIC in you - those spellbinding stories that will help you enchant the hiring manager who is looking for that one special person to fill the job that is JUST RIGHT for you!
The Discovery Discussion conversation begins with me asking you a range of unique, expertly-crafted questions that will spark and ignite your memory. This is where I'll draw out and gather all the best examples of YOUR Expertise, Experience and Excellence.
My job is to then take these resume 'recipe ingredients', and shape the amazing, outstanding things you've done in your life into a career document that can change your life.
That's my intention for each and every one.
It is the highest honour and a privilege I don't take lightly!
Book in, and you can be next!
P.S: I LOVE my job. No AI Tool can do what a Resume Genie can do!

Thank you for visiting my online home.
One thing I always do when guests (and course participants) arrive is to ask them to tell me a little bit about themselves.
Here's two prompts:
- SELF PORTRAIT - Describe your life in seven nouns that describe the roles you play most often
- HALLMARKS - Share seven words that your family, friends and colleagues would most likely use to describe you.
Shall I go first?
SEVEN ROLE TITLES...
Traveller. Storyteller. Philosopher (Searcher for meaning). Helper. Guide/Lighthouse. Celebrator. Mother (last, but not least)
SEVEN HALLMARKS...
Alive! Enthusiastic. Curious. Playful. Warm/Open. Passionate. Grounded
