The Professional Association of
Resume Writers & Career Coaches was founded in January of
1990. Prior to that time, there had been no association
for career professionals to exchange information, enhance
their skills, or demonstrate their commitment to providing
professional services to the general public. Today, those
who display the association's logo affirm their dedication
to excellence in meeting client career goals. In addition,
many members then choose to seek certification to further
affirm their expertise as career professionals. For information
on joining PARW/CC, please click here.
Association members include independent
business owners, as well as non-profit career centers such
as colleges and universities, military bases, workforce
development offices, and state Departments of Labor. Their
participation in PARW/CC demonstrates an on-going commitment
to learning, exchanging ideas and information, and gaining
the expertise to best help each client achieve their personal
career goals. Working with a PARW/CC member is similar to
hiring a personal advertising agency to market you successfully.
The resume is your "sales message" that must stand
out from the competition! Association members can guide
you in targeting your message to appropriate employers through
networking, targeted mailings, the Internet, your own career
field's association, etc. Then, they help you prepare for
the hiring interview so you stand out from the other finalists
as the best choice for the available position.
Are the career industry's leading
experts in the development of strategic resumes. The purpose
of the resume is to secure a personal interview from among
the dozens or hundreds of applicants for a given position.
Since 1991, CPRWs have demonstrated their knowledge, talent
and writing expertise in meeting the industry standard of
excellence and in serving the client's career interests.
Represents association members
who have undertaken specialized training to prepare their
clients for the critical employment interview. From possibly
hundreds of resumes, an employer will select perhaps 10 or
so of the best candidates for personal interviews. Candidates
who have practiced their interview skills and are best prepared
for this decisive meeting will be more confident, relaxed,
and able to make a positive presentation that leads to the
job offer.
The CPCC credential is awarded to those members who have
completed the association's extensive training program to identify a client's life goals,
ambitions and career options...and then design an appropriate career and job search
activity plan to to achieve that goal. Career Coaching is a valuable resource not only
to those actively seeking employment, but also those wanting to advance within their
existing company; college graduates embarking on the first rung of their career ladder;
and those involved in job transition to an entirely new field or who want to start their
own business. In short, CPCC empowers clients to define their career dreams and aspirations
in pursuit of a better, happier life.
This search option allows you
to locate an association member anywhere in North America,
plus many countries throughout the world, without regard
to certifications or credentials held.
Use the search options above to
select the level of member service appropriate to your career
position and goals. If several members are available in
your area, call each one to discuss their services, pricing,
experience in your career field, availability to meet your
deadline, etc. Choose the member you will feel most comfortable
working with, and that gives you confidence in a successful
relationship. Remember that this will be a collaborative
effort. Your resume will be crafted from information you
provide about your background, achievements, and responsibilities.
The resulting document will reflect current standards and
strategies applied to your unique history and your personal
employment goals. Interview training can reveal weaknesses
in a client's presentation that can be improved through
practice. In short, you are choosing a career expert as
a partner. Your family, friends, neighbors, and colleagues
may all offer career advice...but your PARW/CC member is
the one career professional on your support team who has
the knowledge, resources, and experience to best help you
achieve your goal.
