Wakefield, NH, USA (August 26, 2015) -- Michelle Dumas, founder of Distinctive Career Services LLC, career and resume consultants for professionals and executives for nearly 20 years, has been elected President of the The National Resume Writer's Association (NRWA) for 2017. In the interim, she will serve The NWRA as President Elect and Ethics Chair beginning January 1, 2016.

The NRWA is a nonprofit trade association dedicated to the support of professional resume writers. The Association is responsible for increasing market visibility for resume writers, promoting standards of excellence and best practices, and providing peer marketing, training, and certification. Michelle has been an active member of The NRWA since shortly after its inception in 1997. Michelle has served on the The NRWA Certification Commission, has been a member of the Certification Commission Advisory Board for seven years, and has most recently served two terms on the Board of Directors as Director of Industry, Experienced Business Owners. She has also been a speaker at The NRWA annual conferences.

"Since inception, The NRWA has been an important force for creating standards and best practices for professional resume writers," said Dumas. "I am honored to have been elected and look forward to continuing to work with my peers to develop a plan of action that will promote the continued growth and success of The NRWA. Working together, we can continue to promote the highest ethical standards for our profession, and continue to cultivate new benefits for our members."

A large percentage of The NRWA members are self-employed or small business owners. Other members work in state employment offices, college placement offices, and military placement offices. The members are committed to professional development and many have earned professional credentials. The NRWA offers its own certification and education programs, including the Nationally Certified Resume Writer (NCRW) credential.

Michelle is one of only a handful of professional resume writers to hold both Certified Professional Resume Writer (CPRW) and Nationally Certified Resume Writer (NCRW) credentials. She also is a trained career coach and a Certified Personal Branding Strategist (CPBS). Michelle also has credentials as a Certified Employment Interview Professional (CEIP) and a Job & Career Transition Coach (JCTC).
