Career Directors International Introduces New Resume Writer Certification for Assisting Job Seekers in Career Transition
Melbourne, Florida (PRWEB) August 31, 2015 -- Career Directors International (CDI), a membership-based business that helps resume writers and career coaches build six-figure-plus businesses, is recognized as the leader in professional resume writing training and certification. To earn one of their certifications designates that a resume writer has met rigorous standards in strategy, personal branding and job seeker marketing, keyword management, powerful writing, and visual design.
CDI has pioneered resume certifications, seeking to:
1. Make it easier for job seekers to navigate the maze of resume certifications.
2. Position resume writers to not only show their talents in the field, but to also have a way to designate their proven areas of expertise.
With this mission, the Certified Resume Specialist (CRS+X) body of credentials was introduced. CDI President and author of Resumes for Dummies, 7th edition, Laura DeCarlo, states, “The CRS credentials allow resume writers to prove their expertise in a specific niche such as information technology or human resources. Now, when a job seeker is battling overwhelm in identifying the best professional to help, they need look no further than a certified professional who is designated a specialist in their profession.”
To date, CDI has introduced 18 different CRS+X specialties with Challenging Transitions being the newest. DeCarlo says, “This is a unique spin because career change isn’t limited to a certain profession, but it is its very own niche and one of the most difficult skillsets a resume writer will master. Whenever someone needs to shift gears on their resume, a challenging process presents – how to make the candidate’s prior experience shine for a new target with new responsibilities, industry keywords, and language. On the surface it might seem easy, but it is no different than a company performing a complete top-to-bottom rebranding of their products and packaging; it requires expert guidance.”
Those resume professionals who earn the Certified Resume Specialist in Challenging Transitions (CRS+CT) will have proven that they have what it takes to help job seekers navigate this perplexing path.
