Earning a certification shows a commitment to your craft, but acronyms can get confusing. I’m proud of all three of my certifications, but one in particular is worth pointing out. I am a Certified Master Resume Writer (CMRW), an elite designation held by less than 30 career professionals worldwide. The testing process for the CMRW is only open to career professionals who have previously earned another approved resume writing credential and involves a portfolio of work reviewed by a committee of my peers for mastery of writing talent and industry knowledge. To make an analogy to martial arts, just as the black belt is a symbol of excellence and expertise in a martial art, the CMRW credential is the symbol of excellence and expertise in resume writing. If you have the opportunity, hire the equivalent of a black belt in resume writing.
