It's Emmy Night ... Speaking of Awards

My husband loves to watch awards shows -- mostly the Emmys and the Oscars. He has his favorite shows that we root for, and there's usually a surprise or two among the winners. (Yay, 30 Rock!)

Did you know the resume industry has its own awards? It's true!
Career Directors International offers four separate awards:

My favorite of these is the TORI award.

I love the idea of recognizing our peers for their work. I'm guessing there will be fewer political statements in the TORI acceptance speeches than at the Emmys, though.

Here are this year's nominees. Winners will be announced at the Career Directors International conference in Texas on October 20.
