Resume writing academy resume training & certification (ACRW) |
“Enrolling in RWA is the best thing I've done in my 18-year career as a resume writer. The class made me a better interviewer, writer, designer, and strategist; it reinforced skills I already had; and it introduced me to a new level of professionalism. The ACRW designation has already contributed to increasing my revenue in two ways: it has bolstered my confidence to charge more because I finally recognize the value I provide clients, and believe clients are pre-sold when they see it listed in my email signature block and/or hear it in my voice mail message." |
WHY IS RWA THE RESUME TRAINING FOR YOU?RWA graduates tell us the difference between our program and other programs they’ve tried is that training alone didn’t give them the confidence and results they desired. |
“I mentioned my recent ACRW certification yesterday to a NY-based coach/trainer looking for a resume writer and the mere mention of the Academy and your names was enough to generate significant interest in talking and proceeding to the next step. I'm not sure if others considering taking your program understand the weight that the credential from your Academy provides.”

Questions?
We are always here to answer your questions and work with you one-on-one to reach your resume-writing goals! Feel free to contact us at any time. Set up a time to talk with Resume Writing Academy CEO Marie Zimenoff to get answers to your questions!
Entrepreneur. Speaker. Leader. When Marie Zimenoff started her career, these roles were not in her plan. So how does an analytical, semi-introverted, risk-averse academic career counselor leave a stable job, start a business in a recession, and become CEO of a think tank? Mission. Guts. And a passion for helping YOU.
Like you, Marie understands the huge impact an effective career coach, career counselor, or resume professional can have on clients’ lives. Like you, she knows the stress of wondering if she’s delivering the best information, experience, and results to aid her clients’ success. Like you, she has sometimes felt the stigma that career services often carry within the coaching and counseling worlds at large. You are Marie’s mission. Marie understands that dedicated professionals in the careers field need and crave first-class support, training, and innovation. She is committed to giving you the confidence and skills to crush stigmas and stand proudly upon the credibility you’ve earned and deserve. She’s dedicated her career to making that happen for you. Marie’s passion for the careers industry runs deep. A memorable experience with her middle school guidance counselor first introduced Marie to the true power of career professionals. Marie began her professional career in the university setting as an advisor and recruiter for a mechanical engineering graduate program at Colorado State University. While completing her Masters of Education in Human Resource Studies and Career & Counseling Development, Marie interned with a woman who owned her own career counseling business. Deeply inspired, Marie decided to leave her university position and open her own company. A career services practice was born. The year was 2008—the peak of the Great Recession. Undaunted, Marie hustled like crazy. She acquired a diverse range of experiences in the careers industry—career coaching, resume writing, and presenting trainings at workforce centers. She discovered when she blended her strengths of process and strategy with a marketing approach, she could help leaders who struggled to communicate their value and were stalled in their career growth. The business grew. Marie grew. Opportunities to serve her colleagues grew. Entrepreneur. Speaker. Leader. Pushed by a passion for making a difference to her colleagues, Marie ignored her natural risk aversion and introversion to assume leadership roles that would make a difference. Marie was elected to the presidency of The National Resume Writers’ Association. She created Career Confidante Radio. In early 2015, she assumed ownership of Career Thought Leaders and Resume Writing Academy, and, in 2017, she acquired the suite of Reach Personal Branding training and certification programs. As CEO, speaker, and trainer, Marie shares proven and leading-edge career management, branding, job search, resume development, social media, and leadership expertise with professionals worldwide. YOU inspire Marie. You are a world-changer. You transform lives. You deserve the best career training and support available. Marie is determined you will have it. Driven by mission. Committed to you.
