Well the 2009 TORI Awards have been announced in Orlando Florida at Career Directors International’s Career Summit and I’m proud to say that I maintain the record as the only member of the Career Directors International association to have won TORI Awards across nine consecutive years. Talk about professional pressure! This year I was honoured with two Third Place awards for the categories of Best Creative Resume and Best New Graduate Resume. I also received nominations for Best Executive Resume and Best Technical Resume. Congratulations to all the other winners. It’s truly wonderful to see so many talented professionals out there creating powerful, inspiring and interview-winning documents for clients. A win for the industry and for the clients we serve!

It was standardised by providing all candidates the same note files.

Two separate competitions were hosted with industry professional judges and the general public:

• Panel of Industry professionals selected their top three nominees and the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place winners.
• Public voters (via Facebook, LinkedIn, and Twitter) selected their 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place winners from the top three nominees.
