Career Solvers Awarded Career Directors International President's Choice Award

Each year Career Directors International, a leading international career professionals association, selects the individual who has made the most significant contribution to the association and the careers community. This year I was recognized with this prestigious award for leading a team of distinguished career professionals to create the association's first formal study guide for resume writers seeking certification in the industry.

Sure, the award is a great honor, but the real thrill for me was the opportunity to work with some of the world's finest resume writers to share industry best practices and strategies for teaching our craft to others. These people are more than just esteemed colleagues; I consider them valuable mentors and conduits for my own professional success.

Do you have a mentor or a group of colleagues whose opinions you value who you meet with frequently to share ideas, war stories, hopes, and dreams? If not, find them! They are at work, professional association meetings, or maybe even blogging on-line. Make them part of your network and watch how quickly your connections and opportunities grow!
