Those of you who attended our March meeting remember our speaker, Kelly Welch of Yes Career Services. Kelly recently earned her certification as a Certified Professional Resume Writer (CPRW) from the Professional Association of Resume Writers & Career Coaches.  The certification recognizes Kelly as a career industry expert in developing strategic resumes and gives her the new title of CPRW Résumé Writer and Career Coach. Since Kelly's presentation to ICA, I've had occasion to meet Kelly for lunch to discuss business. She has excellent ideas about career development, whether you are employed, unemployed or independent.
