Testimonials

I highly recommend Melinda for her professional writing services and knowledge of websites and social media platforms. She has been giving me advice for 7 years and has been very influential in building my reiki business. Thank you Melinda.

It’s my pleasure to provide a reference for Melinda J. Irvine. Mel worked with DWS Hospitality Services and CTA Training Specialist for over seven years (2007-2014) as a direct employee, and then as an independent consultant. Mel’s experience in online and digital marketing was fundamental to our company’s development into one of Australia’s largest online training platforms in the hospitality sector.

Back in 2007-08 there was limited information about the digital technology needed to develop, deploy, and maintain a Learning Management System (LMS) plus integrated eCommerce platform. But Mel was able to research, configure and develop our original platform — then maintain it for a number of years. Something that would not have been possible without her enthusiasm, drive, and ‘never take no for an answer’ attitude.

Whilst with our company Mel also fulfilled a range of roles and responsibilities using her management experience, organisational ability, and creative writing skills. Key projects included: development of an award-winning customer service program (including written training manuals), developing and writing employee handbooks, job specifications, government tenders, operational policies and procedures.

I have no hesitation in recommending Mel for any professional pursuit that can harness her enthusiasm, passion, honesty, and reliability. I would be disappointed if anyone seeking to employ or engage with Mel in any professional capacity did not contact me to give me the opportunity to further support this reference.

It was wonderful to work with you Melinda, not only was my project delivered in a fast time, with my client’s style/ interests in mind, but also my ability with computer and writing skills was taken into consideration. You walked me through with patience, humour and infinite understanding. I will definitely contact you again when it’s time for the next phase of growth of my business. Thanks, and love and blessings

I can’t recommend Mel enough, she provided me with an excellent, A1, professional resume. She took my information and turned it into a masterpiece.

I had a traditional type resume that landed so often on the ‘Thank you for your application, unfortunately you were not successful this time’ pile. But Mel took the time to explore my strengths and investigate talents I hadn’t given much thought to previously.

She took my pre-existing information, changed the format, enhanced the text. Fine-tuned the presentation to a more reader friendly, informative product that ticked all the boxes. Within a fortnight of Mel delivering my final product I gained an interview and full-time employment.

Cheers Mel. Great job!!

Melinda has been a huge inspiration to me over the years. Originally helping me with building my business using email marketing & social media and, more recently, with the amazing work she’s doing in the Phillipines.

Melinda is totally committed to the local people there and selflessly gives whatever she can. She has been involved on the ground since just after cyclone Yolanda hit in Nov 2013 and has tirelessly sought to raise money ever since even selling her own life’s possessions. Melinda is one of the most honest and kindest and people I know and I completely trust she will succeed in helping many.

Mel created Notch Above’s very first website: registering the domain, managing the web hosting and writing all the web copy. The result was an excellent website I was proud to have for my business. The website ranked high on google for the industry.
