New York, NY (PRWEB) July 11, 2006
Staying on top of the latest résumé writing techniques, candidate hiring trends and human resource candidate sourcing methods is crucial for professional résumé writers. In addition, running a résumé writing business can be a daunting task. Now, teleseminars addressing these issues can be found in one place – the NRWA Institute for Professional Résumé Writer Development - an exclusive offering from the National Résumé Writers’ Association (www. nrwa. com).
NRWA, a non-profit, member-driven organization that caters to professional résumé writers, launched the NRWA Institute for Professional Résumé Development to remedy the lack of industry-specific training. While NRWA currently offers cutting-edge résumé writing training to obtain the Nationally Certified Résumé Writer credential, the organization’s Board of Directors strives to continually enhance member benefits.
“In addition to programs at our yearly conference, we wanted to expand our course offerings to meet the résumé-writing and business needs of professional résumé writers,” said Kathy Sweeney, CPRW, CCM, second vice president of NRWA and owner of Phoenix-based The Write Resume. “Our goal as an organization is to be the most comprehensive resource for professional résumé writers – in effect, a one-stop shop for all their professional development and business knowledge needs which are essential to success.”
Many of the top names in the career industry have committed to teaching courses, including Wendy Enelow, CCM, MRW, JCTC, CPRW, author of 22 career-related books, including Best Resumes For $100,000+ Jobs, Best Cover Letters For $100,000+ Jobs, $100,000+ Job Interview, and KeyWords to Nail Your Job Interview, and Pat Kendall, NCRW, author of Jumpstart Your Online Job Search, and coauthor of eResumes: Everything You Need to Know.
