      New Resume Writing Credential for Job Seekers with Challenging Transitions

      Challenging Transitions LogoAre you a Guru when it comes to resumes for career changers, stay-at-home parents, or those with other challenging career gaps and derailments?

      The Certified Resume Specialist in Challenging Transitions lets you stand out in this arena!

      The Certified Resume Specialist (CRS+X) credential is the ultimate chameleon to help you build your business!

      To date we’ve rolled out 18 different specialties that can be earned to help YOU stand out in your unique niche!

      Based on a recent request, we’ve now added the CRS in Challenging Transitions (CRS+CT).

      Earning a CRS credential is primarily a portfolio-based process of submitting samples and proving expertise in the specialty.

      For instance, Challenging Transitions would require:

      1. Meeting base criteria of having earned an approved resume certification.
      2. Submitting a portfolio of four resume samples appropriate for the topic such as people returning to work and covering gaps after illness, injury, incarceration, or being stay-at-home parents; people making big career changes; people overcoming major obstacles like being fired.
      3. Writing a one page essay that demonstrates your knowledge of working with and aiding these type of clients.

      That’s it!

      Once received it does require review and approval by the CDI Certifiication Committee, but it is a step closer to attracting your ideal clients!

      Resume Writers & Career Coaches:

      Why did I choose Career Directors International? Prior to this time, I have tried and tested many membership resources and it didn't turn out well.

       

      [President] Laura DeCarlo's free resource changed everything for me. From zero to six-figures didn't come easy. I dedicated my time to study how her process worked and it did the magic.

       

      This triggered my decision to be a member of the community.
