This is known as the Certified Master Resume Writer (CMRW). It is one of the oldest-known certifications in resume writing and will have others take you seriously as a writer.<\/p>\n<p>Applicants need to go through an evaluation process that involves submitting some materials. The things that need to be submitted are:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>A 1000-word essay highlighting your skills in writing as well as philosophy<\/li>\n<li>A portfolio that has 7 professional resumes<\/li>\n<li>1 ATS-friendly resume<\/li>\n<li>2 Samples of cover letters<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Pricing_for_the_Certification-2\"><\/span>Pricing for the Certification<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>The resume writing certification course itself costs $297, but there is also a membership fee of $97. An important thing to keep in mind here is that you will need to renew your CMRW credentials every 3 years for $75.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Advantages_and_Disadvantages_of_the_CMRW\"><\/span>Advantages and Disadvantages of the CMRW<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Being the oldest-known certification, this will present you as an expert with a professional resume writing certification.

It\u2019s a perfect choice for executive resume writers.<\/p>\n<p>This certification in resume writing is held in high regard. There are less than 25 CERMs in the entire world.<\/p>\n<p>Unlike the CARW, the CERM requires a bit more before someone can complete this resume writing certification course.<\/p>\n<p>There are also two stages that a writer needs to pass.<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Submit 4 examples of real-life executive resumes that are done by you<\/li>\n<li>Take part in a Competency Review test comprised of 10 questions<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Pricing_for_the_Certification-3\"><\/span>Pricing for the Certification<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Anyone can get a CERM without becoming a member of the CDI. But that will cost you a lot compared to what a member has to pay. For CDI members the fee is $297. For non-members, however, that fee is $564.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Advantages_and_Disadvantages_of_CERM\"><\/span>Advantages and Disadvantages of CERM<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Like every other CDI certification, writers will enjoy the resume writing certification free resources. Aside from that, since there are so few CERMs in the world, a writer with one will have a higher demand than an average resume writer.<\/p>\n<p>As for disadvantages, for non-members, the price is really steep. At that point, it\u2019s better to just become a member of the CDI.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4_Certified_Resume_Specialist_CRSX\"><\/span>4.

CDI offers 20 different options to choose from for becoming a specialist, which you can find on the CDI website.<\/p>\n<p>Since this is a specialist certification, CDI requires that you hold a previous certification in resume writing.<\/p>\n<p>Applicants need to submit the following documents to get started on getting the CRS+X:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>A portfolio that has 4 resume samples for the specializations being targeted<\/li>\n<li>A detailed essay about your expertise in the specialization<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Pricing_for_the_Certification-4\"><\/span>Pricing for the Certification<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>You can apply for multiple specializations. Each one will cost $197. You will also need to pay the membership fee. Seeing as how CDI offers some other resume writing certification free services, you should definitely get the membership.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Advantages_and_Disadvantages_of_the_CRSX\"><\/span>Advantages and Disadvantages of the CRS+X<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>The CRS+X is the best resume writing certification for those who\u2019d like to stick to their preferred niches. It\u2019s also one of the cheapest certifications in resume writing courses. For specialists, there is no better option.<\/p>\n<p>Although the pricing is good for one specialization, when you take into account multiple specializations at once, the amount gets quite large, and there are no discounts.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"5_Certified_Career_Storyteller_CCST\"><\/span>5. Certified Career Storyteller (CCST)<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-19969 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/edureviewer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Certified-Career-Storyteller-CCST.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"250\" height=\"231\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The Certified Career Storyteller (CCST) is a certification program that comes with its own training. CDI trains writers to incorporate elements of storytelling into their resumes.<\/p>\n<p>Writers are required to do the following to complete the course:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Each part has a lesson completion part and also a review part<\/li>\n<li>Upon completing all the lessons, a final story-based portfolio has to be submitted<\/li>\n<li>Within 3-4 weeks, the portfolio is reviewed and sent back.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Pricing_for_the_Certification-5\"><\/span>Pricing for the Certification<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>One thing is for certain, the CSST is not the cheapest resume writing certification. This course will cost you $2997, and you also have to be a member of the CDI.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Advantages_and_Disadvantages_of_the_CSST\"><\/span>Advantages and Disadvantages of the CSST<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>CSST resume writers are always in high demand. They are also paid more than any other resume writers. You can take some really challenging yet rewarding jobs when you have the CSST certification.<\/p>\n<p>But the price of the course is what makes many resume writers shy away from getting this certification in resume writing.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"6_Academy_Certified_Resume_Writer_ACRW\"><\/span>6. Academy Certified Resume Writer (ACRW)<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The Academy Certified Resume Writer (ACRW) certification is provided by the Resume Writing Academy (RWA). This organization is known for training writers first instead of testing them.<\/p>\n<p>As for the ACRW, it\u2019s a 3-month-long course that gives you the resume writing certification after completion.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Pricing_for_the_Certification-6\"><\/span>Pricing for the Certification<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>To get the ACRW course, there are two payment options. You can make a one-time payment of $1895. You can also divide this into 3 payments of $650 and pay it in instalments.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Advantages_and_Disadvantages_of_the_ACRW\"><\/span>Advantages and Disadvantages of the ACRW<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Since all writers receive 3-months of training, upon completion, they become ready to handle professional work from the industry.<\/p>\n<p>For a one-time payment, the price is quite high. But as there is the option of paying it in instalments, it shouldn\u2019t be too much of an issue.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"7_Academic_Certified_Federal_Resume_Writer_ACRW-Federal\"><\/span>7. Academic Certified Federal Resume Writer (ACRW-Federal)<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Similar to the ACRW, the Academic Certified Federal Resume Writer course is designed to train writers to make them ready to write resumes for federal jobs. If you don\u2019t know, the resumes for federal jobs are different from your traditional job resumes.<\/p>\n<p>RWA has a diverse training program for writers pursuing the federal resume writing certification. This includes training from instructors as well as participating in quizzes and evaluations.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Pricing_for_the_Certification-7\"><\/span>Pricing for the Certification<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Just like the regular ACRW, there are two payment options. If you want to pay it all in one go, it will be an amount of $2195. You can also make 3 payments of $735 each.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Advantages_and_Disadvantages_of_the_ACRW-Federal\"><\/span>Advantages and Disadvantages of the ACRW-Federal<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>The ability to write federal resumes has to be one of the key takeaways for the ACRW-Federal. Writers become capable of creating resumes that will land their clients a federal job with ease.<\/p>\n<p>In terms of disadvantages, there really aren\u2019t any. But for some writers, the workload of the training becomes a bit too much.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"8_Academy_Certified_Career_Storyteller_ACCS\"><\/span>8.

It\u2019s an advanced-level certification from the RWA. Applicants must have an industry-recognized prior certification to qualify for the ACCS.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Pricing_for_the_certification\"><\/span>Pricing for the certification<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>For members of the RWA, the ACCS certification course will only cost $669. For non-members, on the other hand, that will go up to $869.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Advantages_and_Disadvantages_of_the_ACRW-Federal-2\"><\/span>Advantages and Disadvantages of the ACRW-Federal<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Compared to the CCST, the ACCS is really cheap. And since this is based on training, resume writers are better prepared to deal with any type of client.<\/p>\n<p>But as it\u2019s an advanced level certification in resume writing, the difficulty is a bit higher than other certifications.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"9_Certified_Professional_Resume_Writer_CPRW\"><\/span>9.
