I Built the Kind of Community I Wish Still Existed

For a long time, most of the “community spaces” in our industry have been tied to individual associations.

And those absolutely serve an important role.

But there hasn’t really been a single place where resume writers and career experts can connect across those lines — or without needing to belong to one at all.

Years ago, LinkedIn Groups filled some of that gap. You could jump into a conversation, ask a question, share ideas, and connect with peers from all over the industry, regardless of which association you belonged to.

But those groups have largely faded. And nothing has really replaced them.

So I decided to build one.

Introducing: Career Expert Collective

It’s a FREE private community, on Facebook, for professional resume writers and career experts who care about doing high-impact work.

Not just getting words on a page, but actually helping clients move forward. 

This isn’t tied to any one organization, or even to BeAResumeWriter membership.

If you’re part of NRWA, CDI, PARWCC, Career Thought Leaders (or all of them), you’re welcome.

If you’re not part of any association, you’re welcome too.

That was intentional. I named it “collective” because we’re not just another Facebook group. We’re a community, building on shared ideas, shared standards, and shared responsibility for the quality of work we put into the world.

The job market is changing. Client expectations are changing. And the work we do as resume writers and career experts continues to evolve.

But there aren’t a lot of spaces where we can talk openly about that, especially across different backgrounds, experiences, and perspectives. That’s what this group is for. 

If this sounds like your kind of space, you can join here:

Career Expert Collective (a free Facebook group for resume writers and career experts)

If this works the way I think it can…it won’t just be another Facebook group. It will be a community that works together to help jobseekers and our members be successful.
