The Master Resume Writer designation places Hansen in an "elite group of career practitioners who are committed to professionalism and dedicated to continuous learning," said Beverly Harvey of Beverly Harvey Resume and Career Services, Pierson, FL, who is credentialing master for Career Masters Institute. Harvey noted that Hansen is only the 11th Master Resume Writer worldwide and one of only six career professionals to hold both CMI's Credentialed Career Master and Master Resume Writer designations. "Kudos to you for such a huge accomplishment in your first five years in business," Harvey said.
In addition to her role as creative director for Quintessential
Careers, Hansen is principal resume and cover-letter writer for

To earn the Master Resume Writer credential, Hansen submitted a
portfolio of her best resumes and took the Career Masters Institute's Business Writing Program and Exam. She was also required to have been a resume writer for a minimum of five years.
The Master Resume Writer (MRW) designation, according to the CMI Web
site, "was created to acknowledge and credential those individuals
who have reached the top tier of the resume writing industry by
demonstrating their expertise in resume writing, resume strategy
development and execution, and creative resume design and
production." When hiring a resume writer, the Web site states,
clients who choose a Master Resume Writer will "know that they've
hired the 'best of the best.'" The Web site also notes that Master
Resume Writers are:
* "Professional resume writers who have clearly distinguished
themselves at the top tier of the resume-writing industry."
* In possession of "a credential that truly assesses unique
resume-writing knowledge and expertise."
