Local Résumé Writer nominated for 5 prestigious TORI Awards

(July 19, 2007 – New York, NY) – Career Directors International (CDI) is pleased to announce the nominees of the 2007 TORI Awards, also known as the Toast of the Résumé Industry. Local writer, Barbara Safani, and owner of Career Solvers, has been nominated for Best Executive Resume, Best Professional Resume, Best Technical Resume, Best Creative Resume, and Best Return to Work Resume.

CDI President, Laura DeCarlo, proudly states, “While winning a TORI Award represents the pinnacle of résumé writing expertise within the industry, nomination for a TORI is one of the most prestigious honors a résumé writer can achieve. Being recognized as "one of the best" by your peers is an accolade that very few get to savor. We are proud to sponsor the TORI Awards for the résumé writing and careers industry, because it highlights the work of members in our industry that so often get overlooked.”

Professional résumé writers submitted entries for the TORI Awards in May and a panel of the industry’s top writers was selected to judge the submissions. Up to five entries have been nominated in each category, with CDI Officers making the final ruling. The winning résumés will be announced on October 20 in San Antonio, TX during CDI’s annual convention.
