“I thoroughly enjoy being a part of a dynamic, talented, and collaborative virtual team. I am so impressed with the expertise and I've learned so much from both the people and the activities we've engaged in. I especially appreciated facilitating teleclasses – something new for me – and volunteering at The National Job Fair and Training Expo.”
Heather Erskine, Erskine & Associates

 

 

 

 

“I have received numerous contract offers and requests for services through CPC. The increased value that I have been able to offer to my clients has been priceless. I have gained insights into unique and creative strategies and completed my Masters Level Certification – MCRS, MCIS, MCCS – and have now earned the opportunity to chair the Certification Committee. My career and business have flourished as a result of my membership with CPC.”
Wayne Pagani, WP Consulting and Associates

 

 

 

 

“I have been involved with CPC and Sharon Graham through my work in Career Services at Seneca College. CPC delivered a professional development teleprogram to our Career Services Coordinators in preparation for the CRS Certification Process. These classes  fully prepared my staff for their certification process. Being the first Ontario college with a fully certified staff was important in increasing the quality of services and the credibility of our Career Centre.”
Carol Henry, Seneca College

 

 

 

 

“CPC’s Certified Resume Strategist program was instrumental with expanding and fine-tuning the skills of resume writers across the nation. It is quickly becoming the industry standard and separates the typists from the professionals. The training has been vital for my success with creating resumes that produce results for my clients on a daily basis.”
Elizabeth Grin, Sunshine Design

 

 

 

 

“I always wanted a career association that was “distinctly Canadian” so when I was asked to be a founding member of Career Professionals of Canada I jumped at the opportunity. CPC offers leadership and volunteer opportunities and a chance for members to learn from the collective expertise that exists in the group. I am pleased to be associated with this dynamic Canadian organization.”
Daisy Wright, The Wright Career Solution

Karen Shane, The Business Writing Network

 

 

“CPC supported my desire to become a leading career professional. CPC helps career professionals get better at being career professionals. With membership in CPC comes credibility and confidence. Instantly after joining, I learned that this was much more than a typical non-profit association. Because of CPC, I was able to earn and promote my credentials to start my own successful business, create a monthly tele networking session for members, and be nominated for and awarded a number of CPC Awards of Excellence.
Maureen McCann, Promotion Career Solutions

“As a member of Career Professionals of Canada, I have attended the annual Professional Development Conference to learn and network. This has increased my business through referrals and subcontracting relationships. I have also shared and gained information by networking with colleagues in the e-Group, capitalizing on the fact that other members offer a Canadian – and oftentimes local – perspective when I seek advice or help.”
Marian Bernard, The Regency Group

 

 

“As a member, I have enriched my knowledge with respect to marketing initiatives. Members have steered potential business my way (and vice versa) – a mutually beneficial network indeed. When I challenged myself to help develop and pursue the Certified Resume Strategist designation, and more recently the Master level, I heightened my credibility with my clients. Through CPC, I have achieved leading-edge resume writing expertise that sets me apart from the competition.”
Lynda Margaret, Added Value Resumes

 

 

“Several members of our staff benefited immensely from CPC’s training and are now Certified Resume Strategists (CRS). With the training we received, we were able to structure our clients’ resumes so that they make it to the top of the pile. Many clients are now gainfully employed in their field, and I have to acknowledge Sharon’s training for this success.”
Aubrey Carrega, Community MicroSkills Development Centre

“Being a member of the Career Professionals of Canada has really raised my business profile as well as connecting me with a whole new group of experienced, professional associates that I can call on for advice and potential partnerships. Since being a member and directly as a result of CPC's connections I have spoken at a major job fair and been profiled in The Globe & Mail and Toronto Sun, this coverage has led directly to other engagements and new clients as well as increased my credibility.”

“Career Professionals of Canada is made up of a diversified group of professionals that are willing to share their knowledge with other members of the organization, which I find extremely valuable.

Kathleen Weston, A Resume to Remember

 

 

 

 

“I have a special affinity for Career Professionals of Canada because it is Canadian-based. Each time our annual convention has been announced, I have – without hesitation – cleared my calendar to attend this event, which is bursting with knowledge that I can apply to my own resume-writing practice.”
Marian Bernard, The Regency Group

 

 

 

 

“CPC offers training unavailable elsewhere in Canada. I have been fondly named “CPC’s teleclass junkie” – a name I am most proud to wear. I have now completed the CRS, CIS, and CCS certifications. Our CPC Career Club Forum is also an invaluable source of information and inspiration. And, through CPC I have attended a number of Job Fairs, where I have evaluated resumes and presented workshops, and have twice been interviewed for articles with national exposure. I’ve also been interviewed live on CHCH-TV at the recent Halton-Peel Job Fair.

It is only because of my affiliation with CPC that I can identify myself as an expert in my field.”
Stephanie Clark, New Leaf Resumes
