Maria E. Hebda, CCMC, CPRW

I am a nationally published Certified Professional Resume Writer (CPRW), Certified Career Management Coach (CCMC), and job search strategist specializing in career marketing and management. I work one-on-one with my clients and take the time to learn about their career needs, what their goals are, and take a personal interest in their career success.

My writing talents and ability to uniquely design resumes and cover letters have proven my expertise in resume and cover letter development. As a result, my work is featured in numerous career publications and I was personally recruited by David Opton, Founder and CEO of ExecuNet, due to my strength and ability to write and effectively market professionals to their fullest potential. ExecuNet is a premier executive job, career, and networking organization.

As an authorized DISC Administrator and active member of ProfilingPro, I am qualified to provide my clients with behavioral analysis assessment materials to help them learn what unique values their behavioral style brings to the workplace and how they can utilize this information to communicate to appropriate hiring authorities. I am a member in good standing with several career organizations, adhere to the code of ethics of each organization, and attend annual career-related conferences to continue my professional development.

What does it mean to be a CPRW?

The CPRW certification is awarded by the Professional Association of Resume Writers & Career Coaches (PARW/CC). Resume writers must pass a timed examination comprising of four modules. The examination tests the writer's industry knowledge and understanding of the resume writing field, command for grammar, punctuation, spelling, and proofreading skills.

To test resume and cover letter writing ability, the resume writer is required to create each document based upon background information provided by the PARW/CC. The resume and cover letter is developed for a hypothetical client. Certification examinations are evaluated by three CPRWs who are members of the PARW/CC Certification Committee Board.

A CPRW must be a member in good standing with the PARW/CC and must also continue professional development to maintain writing skills and knowledge of the careers industry. The CPRW credential was established in 1991 and is recognized as the standard of the industry.

What does mean to be a CCMC?

The CCMC is awarded by the Career Coach Academy. Career coaches completing the CCMC program undergo a rigorous and distinctive 3-month training program that includes practical application of coaching principles.

Coaches must pass a written examination and live coaching evaluation conducted by a professional certified coach. CCMC learn core coaching competencies aligned with the International Coach Federation guidelines that help clients to find focus, unravel road blocks, and achieve change.

Coaches are trained across the career continuum, incorporating principles of career development theory. To maintain the CCMC credential, coaches must earn 10 continuing education units devoted specifically to techniques and innovations in career coaching and accepted by the Career Coach Academy.

“I have worked professionally in the career management area for over 25 years and my work is published around the globe. In this time, I have reviewed many resumes and cover letters, both for my review and for inclusion in my best selling resume and letter books.

Maria Hebda and I are professional colleagues and I have included some of her resume and letter writing work in these books. Why? She has a knack for creating clear, concise and convincing word packages; she's a great ally in a job hunt.”

“You can get free reviews almost anywhere on the Internet, the value added is that the writers who do the reviews for our members are those who have "vetted" and who we know work to the highest ethical and professional work standards.

At ExecuNet, we were fortunate enough to be able to work with Maria as part of our resume review team for more than nine years which in this day and age of shorter and shorter business relationships all by itself says something about her professionalism. It isn’t just that she is an excellent and accomplished resume writer; that goes without saying. The standard of performance that she sets for herself in what she does consistently translates to satisfied clients.”

"There are thousands of resume writers in the US, but there are only a very few with the quality of writing skills that Maria Hebda consistently displays. Every time I write a resume or cover letter book that includes contributions from other writers, I anxiously await for Maria's contributions, knowing that they will be some of the best that I will receive.

Her grasp of language is extraordinary and her ability to translate an individual's career history into a powerful marketing document are exceptional. She has reached the top of her profession and will be there for years to come."
