Sally Johnson

My passion is purpose and I craft CVs for people who are in or trying to get into the world of international development, humanitarian action and non-profits. I have helped many wonderful individuals from the likes of UNHCR, UNICEF, UNESCO, the World Bank, the ICRC, and large and small NGOs around the world either move upwards with their current employer, move onwards to another organisation, or transition to the realm of international consulting. If you’re looking to advance at the executive level, move from the field to headquarters, shift from operations to programmes, get international experience, impress when you only have 3 years’ experience, secure that team leadership role, or land a new client, I’m ready to get personal. Let your purpose become my purpose. Take a look at my website Omnia Writing Services and CV Writing page to find out more.

I had been job hunting for several months and was feeling a bit lost sending application after application with no response. Sally helped me to revolutionise my CV, highlighting my core skills and main achievements in a way I hadn't been able to do so. Her attention to detail and vast knowledge of the development field meant the end result was far better than I had imagined. Plus, after working together, I realized the specific area I wanted to continue working in and am now focusing my job search only in that area.
