Testimonials

"Having moved around Australia in the last 7 years, I have used Tracey on many occasions for basic updating of contact details on my Resume to more complex cover letters for roles that I wanted that extra bit of help with. Tracey is always so on the ball in how these letters should be worded to get the maximum impact and freely gives the best advice on how to get that extra attention to your job applications.

Tracey works very timely, even with the shortest of deadlines and has never let me down in giving me the help and support I have required in each role I have applied for.

I highly recommend Tracey for her professionalism, advice and honesty. Thanks again for your wonderful work."

"To my editor, Tracey Allen, I certainly would never have got this book out there if we had not met!

Thank you for your input and for letting me know that double spaces after a full stop are for the era when type writers were about! Being an old fart it wasn't easy but you will be pleased to know I have now trained myself to only use one space! Thank you Tracey Allen, my editor and mentor!"

"Having recently completed my first attempt at long form story writing, I was at a bit of a loss as to what to do next. Luckily, I found Tracey, who was able to help me with editing and lots of valuable advice about direction, character development and potential avenues to market. I have thoroughly enjoyed working with Tracey and would happily recommend that anyone looking to start or finish get in touch with her to help out. Thanks again Tracey."

"Tracey was a real professional when it came to putting my Resume together, she knew exactly how to structure it, what information was required and how to get this across in the most successful way. It's been at least 10 years since I put a Resume together and Tracey gave me all the help and support in preparing a new one. No question or query was an issue for her and she had complete honesty with me at all times, answering any questions I had in a professional and easy to understand way. I really felt at ease with Tracey, even when it came to asking what I sometimes thought might be silly questions. No question was silly to Tracey and she would give a thorough explanation in response to whatever I asked her. I would highly recommend Tracey's work to anyone that needs to refresh their Resume or advice on anything job related as she really has helped me gain confidence in my future applications with her great work. Thank you Tracey, you are great!"

"On first contact with Extra edge I was impressed with the fast, positive and comprehensive response I received from Tracey Allen. I sent an old resume and as much of my work history information as I could find to Extra Edge on a Saturday afternoon. Within two hours Tracey had responded with a critique, a quote and a plan of action. By Sunday terms were agreed to and by Monday I had the first draft of my new resume in front of me. To say I was impressed by the speed and quality of the service provided by Tracey would be an understatement. I can highly recommend using Extra Edge.
- Michael, VIC (2016)

"Extra Edge gave me just that! I really appreciated the time, skill and professionalism which Tracey extended to me in polishing my Resume, KSC and her coaching for the interview was invaluable. All of Tracey's efforts paid off as I got the job! I was told I was the best interviewee and HR said: "thank you for making it so easy to pick you." Thanks again Tracey."
- Paula, VIC (2015)

"I must say you are amazing, you have done an incredible job. I will always recommend you to everyone, thank you from the bottom of our hearts."
- Lyn & Rob, Melbourne VIC (2014)

"I contacted Tracey to edit and re-design my resume. She responded within a couple of hours, providing a quote and some constructive feedback I could use whether I accepted her services or not. Once I accepted her quote, she started work straight away, working over the weekend to provide a first draft within a day. Tracey worked with me to produce a resume that reflected my style. Throughout the process she responded to my queries and questions thoughtfully and efficiently and she provided me with useful and constructive feedback. I am very pleased with the final resume and generic cover letter Tracey provided. I would definitely recommend her services."
- Claire, Melbourne VIC (2013)

"My name is Robert Mwangi and I was born under the hills of Mt. Kenya. I'm the author of the book A Whisper in the Jungle edited by Tracey Allen. I'm not a firm believer in serendipity, but I sent my editing request to Tracey at the exact time when she was flying to Kenya for a vacation and needless to say, the timing was perfect for both of us.

"I would like to send my special thanks to Tracey for her outstanding work on polishing my resume and generic cover letter recently. Dedication, efficiency, accuracy and professionalism are what I received while engaging Tracey for her professional services. She started the work straight away after I accepted her services offer and completed her work relatively quickly after just 3 working days. She provided me a large number of advice and professional insights on my job application along the way too. I would recommend Tracey to anyone for her professional resume writing services. Once again, many thanks, Tracey. Great work!!"
- Michael, Melbourne VIC (2013)

"I employed Tracey from Extra Edge to proofread and edit several selection criteria documents and cover letters for multiple job applications and she did so with the utmost professionalism. Tracey answered all of my questions, often going out of her way to provide additional information and explanations to aid in my understanding of the recruitment industry. After submitting all of my applications, I was thrilled to receive three postdoctoral job offers; one in Australia and two overseas! I am very grateful for Tracey's assistance and am happy to recommend her services widely."
- Isabelle, Melbourne VIC (2013)

"I engaged Extra Edge to assist me in relation to a new resume as, after being with the same employer for over 24 years, I had moved interstate and was looking for work. Whilst working on my resume, Tracey was very efficient, helpful and professional. In particular I was extremely impressed with Tracey's knowledge and insight. I would highly recommend Extra Edge."
- Christine, Parramatta NSW (2013)

"I am very pleased with the resume and generic cover letter that Tracey wrote for me. Just would like to say thank you. Tracey did the job very quickly. She started my resume editing on the day I contacted her and the whole thing was finished in just three days. She also tailored my cover letter based on my requirements and gave me some useful information about job applications. Overall, I would recommend her to people who'd like their resume and cover letter done in a quick, personalised and professional way."

"Tracey's professional insight and prompt guidance on resumes and cover letters is beneficial to anyone seeking advice and experience from a professional who has been on the other side of the job seeking fence. Accurate, prompt, professional and available when I needed it the. most. Tracey has steered me in the right direction and I will be engaging Tracey's services in the future. Many thanks, Tracey!"
- A.W. Melbourne VIC (2013)

"Tracey has been proofreading and editing my uni assignments for a while, so when it came time to writing an application for an overseas University scholarship, I knew just who to turn to. Tracey took my application from an 8/10 to a 10/10 and it was a nervous wait but when I received the news I had been accepted I was thrilled beyond belief. I'm thankful for her help and can't wait to embark on this new chapter in my life."
- Silvia, VIC (2012)

"We contacted Tracey to proofread our new website to ensure that everything was in order and correct before we went live. We could not have been happier with the results. Tracey was thorough in her work and punctual. She was made aware of our time lines and she completed the project with time to spare. Tracey was a pleasure to work with and I would highly recommend her services."
