About Me

Hey There – I’m Lana McMurdo – PCDAA, MAHRI, GradCert Career Development, BCom-HR, Morrisby Profile Practitioner

A degree-qualified Human Resources professional with a decade of experience across the private sector, public sector, and higher education sector.

After years of screening resumes, interviewing candidates, and writing position descriptions, I saw a gap: talented people struggling to showcase their worth on paper. 

Cloud Nine Careers was born from my love of writing and my passion for helping people unlock their potential.

I work with driven humans who want more than “just a job.” Chances are, you’re here as you’re ready for your next step, and you’re looking for more. You’re not just applying for any job; you’re looking for a role that will be fulfilling and life-aligned. 

Together, we explore your career goals and craft strategic, honest applications that reflect your purpose, values, skills, and ambition, so you can move forward with clarity, confidence, and self-belief.

If you’re ready to take the next step in your career and land more interviews, I’m here to guide you there.
