Founded in 1990, with nearly 3,000 members in more than 20 countries, PARWCC is the oldest and largest organization of its type in North America. Members work as independent business owners, in non-profit career centers such as colleges and universities, military bases, workforce development offices, and state Departments of Labor in North America. Additionally, we have members throughout the world. Their participation in PARW/CC demonstrates an on-going commitment to learning, exchanging ideas and information, and gaining the expertise to best help each client achieve their personal career goals. Working with a PARW/CC member is similar to hiring a personal advertising agency to market you successfully. The resume is your "sales message" that must stand out from the competition! Association members can guide you in targeting your message to appropriate employers through networking targeted mailings, the Internet, social networks, your own career field's association, etc.; then, they help you prepare for the hiring interview so you stand out from the other finalists as the best choice for the available position. Our most known certifications are for professionals in resume writing (CPRW), interview training (CIC) and career coaching (CPCC).
