ABOUT your writer
My name is Murray Hollis.
I began my career as a physicist in Australia and Canada before managing engineering services in a physics research department and then moving to business and technical management for the Research School of Physical Sciences and Engineering at the Australian National University. I have a Graduate Diploma in Administration. I have provided writing services to about 2000 clients across Australia and internationally over about the last ten years.
As well as writing for individual clients, I have done science writing for general readers and for scientific research papers, undertaken extensive writing in university management roles and authored a book, Practical Straw Bale Building, Land Links Press (CSIRO), 2005.
My interviewing skills are as important as my writing skills, because usually my first task with each client is to conduct an interview to obtain detailed source material for the documents I write. In the case of a job applicant, the interview can be useful preparation for their actual job interview. During interviews I question and guide clients to help to expand on ideas and information to ensure that I obtain comprehensive and relevant information for the preparation of documents.
I have an excellent knowledge of grammar and style, and I bring my broad general and technical/scientific knowledge to the task, drawing upon my varied professional background in physics, engineering and administration, as well as extensive writing experience.
My clients include senior management executives, business leaders, IT personnel, teachers, human relations officers, real estate agents, scientists and engineers, academics, administrators, etc. They cover the full spectrum of the public and private sectors.
Some testimonials (I have received many more):
"You are brilliant, guess that's why you have a PhD! Thanks ever so much, I would certainly
recommend your services to others. How you got so much from so little. " Andrea, Karratha, WA
"Thanks so much for your help with my CV. It is terrific - no changes required. Many thanks." Melodie, Jerrabomberra, NSW
"Thanks so much for your prompt response to my request, it has been greatly appreciated. I am very happy with the work you prepared and it was factually so accurate that I only changed a few words where I thought I needed to convey something slightly differently. I was most impressed that you got the 'word count' so accurate! Thanks very much indeed for the tips on undergoing the interview, I have just this moment read them and they are excellent - several things that would not have occurred to me and, as I have not attended an interview such as you describe in the document, at a minimum I will be mentally prepared (and hopefully more than that, thanks to your tips). I will certainly recommend you to others and I may make further requests for your help, until I am employed elsewhere." Vivienne, Melbourne
"Fantastic, thank you very much. Exactly what I was after. And the interview tips is also a welcome addition." Chris, Sydney, NSW
"Just wanted to write and say thanks again for the selection criteria you did for me a few months back now. I have managed to crack into the APS through a role with the … in Canberra, as a result of your help." Matt, Sydney, NSW
"Murray, thanks to your excellent work I have been successful in gaining an interview with … for the Brisbane positions." Paul, Darwin, NT
"Thank you so much Murray. It all looks fantastic. Now I need you to sit the interview for me too! Thank you so much for all your help. You certainly have a great way of writing. I shall definitely refer everyone to your outstanding service. Thank you again." Claire, Canberra, ACT
"The selection criteria document you wrote is excellent. The only change I did was to delete names of companies as it has to remain strictly confidential. I thank you for the wonderful work you produced within such a short time. Thanks and have a great week." Daniel, Melbourne, Vic
"I am just sending this quick email to advise that after consulting with you, I was recently advised that my application was selected for progression to the interview stage. I am currently obtaining personal face to face training for the interview. Thank you for you assistance with the application, which you provided at short notice." John, Perth, WA
"The Selection Criteria is spot on. You have done a wonderful job. I am very very happy with it. I can't believe how well you have put everything. Wish I could put myself into words like you have." Tini, Canberra, ACT
"I have received the documents. They are fantastic! Thank you once again for your excellent and prompt service.....this is a rare experience." David, East Bergholt, UK
"I got the job!! I really appreciate all your work, thank you. I wish you well." Marcelle, Brisbane, Qld
"Just wanted to say thanks for your assistance, greatly appreciated. Did get an interview however wasn't successful, I wasn't actually expecting it as I fumbled on one question and someone's already currently sitting in the position. The experience was invaluable." Miryana, St Kilda, Vic
"A few months ago you helped me out with an APS6 selection criteria application. Well I received an interview in late November and was recently notified that I secured the job. I wanted to inform you that your work was very important in my securing an interview for the position and that I consider your input invaluable. Consequently, I have no hesitation in recommending your services to anyone that needs assistance in compiling a job application of a very high standard. Once again, thanks very much for your assistance as I doubt I would have progressed with the application process without your input." Michael, Perth, WA
