Get Connected Make Wealth Happen March 4th Edition Newsletter
Spotlight: Karen Shane
- Why GO TO a Certified Professional Resume Writer?
A CPRW - Certified Professional Resume Writer is recognized by the PARW/CC – Professional Association of Resume Writers and Career Coaches: www.parw.com . CPRW’s meet standards as set forth by the Executive Directors and the industry certifying board. Karen Shane passed this examination year ago and keeps up to date with current trends in the employment marketplace.
You go to a qualified dentist when you have work done. You should seek the help of a certified resume writer who has passed exams and who writes professional resumes daily from start to finish. Karen Shane also received the Certified Resume Strategist certificate from Career Professionals of Canada www.careerprocanada.ca (CRS)
5 Reasons why you should choose a CPRW or CRS:
- You will reduce your time looking for work.
- Each week you try to use your self-written resume, you can lose an average of $600+ weekly because you chose not to invest in yourself.
- Compared with a typed up resume, the professional resume (rich with key words and phrases) will get noticed.
- Headings in a resume change every few years and resume writing changes approximately every two years, so someone who creates their resume as they did in the 1990s won't stand a good chance of landing an interview now.
- You are competing against others who choose a CPRW or CRS.
Start your future today by getting your resume and cover letter re-written professionally. The resume will have all the necessary keywords and buzz phrases that will get your resume screened and selected in database searches.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3 Ways new immigrants will benefit after ordering from a CPRW or CRS:
- Gain the advantage to blend into the Canadian local, national or international marketplace faster with a resume that demonstrates your skill set the North American way.
- Earn a decent salary faster instead of submitting a basic general resume that says I did this, I did that, hoping to cover about 10 industries in case an employer notices you. It won’t give you more chances to land a job
- Canadian immigrants are well educated and will reap the rewards with a resume that is focused and well presented. Many countries have different expectations. I know what employers need to see in a resume and in a cover letter.
Contact me and discover how you also can become successful and land a great employment opportunity really soon!
Karen Shane's Bio:
Karen has customized resumes and cover letters since 1994. She holds a dual certification in professional resume writing: the CPRW from the Professional Association of Resume Writers and the CRS from the Career Professionals of Canada, and a Bachelor of Arts degree and Medical Office Administration diploma. Karen is at the helm of a group of certified expert resume writers in Canada. She is published in several resume and cover textbooks. Karen writes for local employment newspapers as an occasional writer. The majority of her work is spent on writing professional resumes and cover letters for many job seekers. To date, she has written 1000s of resume projects.

Power of Social Media is alive and well!
Having content to describe what you do has great affect on potential clients searching for you on topics that they may require for their business development. LinkedIn is a professional networking site that allows you to sharing experience for work, business and projects you have completed.
On March 16 I got an email from a connection from LinkedIn which said “I am reaching out to you as I am currently working on a research project for an investment client of ours who would like to better understand the email marketing space. Based on your background and expertise in this industry, I thought you would be a great additional contact to speak with our client over the phone, possibly in a brief and independent, but well-paid, consulting capacity.”
It was interesting paragraph to read a few times, I literally said “now that getting connected make wealth online style!”
Few days later I email back after getting some technical issues cleared with social media company that I do speaking for and was cleared to progress with this offer.
Contract was signed and amount was entered and approved and looking forward to sharing insights and experience with this new client.
Moral of the story- have content that explains what you do and you will connections “reaching out” to you to pay for the valuable knowledge you have learned and apply daily in your business and professional career.

E-Bike adventure in Toronto!
March 14th was a great day in Toronto and the weather was awesome! Had a meeting to attend at Sheppard and Yonge to meet Lisa Kember (Constant Contact Regional Director) and 4 authorized Constant Contact Local Experts at Boston Pizza.
In August of 2011 had attended at Word 11 event in Toronto (the first 24 hour blogging event)I have participated as speaker and volunteer for 20 out of the 24 hours off the event, story for another day!)
The evening event was led at the parking lot and Green Choice Motto has a sponsor of the event, had the great opportunity to have try out an electronic scooter for half-hour. It was an awesome ride zipping through the empty streets of Toronto at 2:00am!
It was such great day in Toronto decided to scooter ride to uptown Toronto. Picked up the bike at 1:30pm and George Abudan Director and COO had stepped out for a coffee break, his mechanic and friend were there minding store. Spoke to Nelson the mechanic regarding my arrangement and he simple said “take it and will figure everything out when you get back”. I was excited (left him my driver licence and was ready for my journey of Toronto!
Got a quick lesson about the bike on how the brakes work, turn signal and of course the horn! (BEEP, BEEP)
Started at College & Spadina and began to adventure toward Yonge and Sheppard. Had my cycling hat and bag and was on my way. Major challenge I had was had to abide by the rules of road and not bike rules, there no time to spare,had to have mindset of a motorist.
Could not occupy bike lanes and had to stay to the right to avoid the car traffic it took a few minutes to get you used to it, I headed uptown and make a brief stop to get respond to some emails and phone calls complete (life of an entrepreneur).
Started at 2:30pm and had a pre-meeting at 3:30 pm with Patrick Bizindavyi (President of Goal Achievers Canada)Will be sharing the stage with him at the Brian Tracy next month on April 24th.
I started and headed up Bathurst street and traffic was moving well. There were buses and cars making right turns that slowed me down a bit. It was interesting experience going full throttle going up some major hills from Bathurst and Davenport to Lawrence Avenue. I kept saying “We can do this , we can do this”, realized this wasn’t Seabiscuit
As reached Lawrence and made a right turn and I had arrived in bike paradise! The streets were smooth and lots of space to ride without impeding traffic. Enjoyed the great scenery and saw some great houses for sale.
Moved along in great time I was actually going to be ahead of schedule, so I slowed down and enjoyed more of the scenery. Being a car you don’t enjoy the surrounding area as much as a being on electronic bike, get the wind in your face and the ability to stop and look at great homes and retail stores.
Reach Lawrence and Yonge and decide to head north on Yonge towards Sheppard. The electronic bike has the top speed of 50km/hr which was very impressive, at certain times I was going downhill and the needle couldn’t go anymore may have going close to 70km/hr in some areas (didn’t see any cop cars)
There were a lot people who game me pleasant smile and one cyclist actually engaged in a conversation while I waiting for a light to change. He asked “ always wanted to ride one of the bikes, how is it?”
I responded “It’s awesome, great to do beautiful day”. We went our separate way and he game a ring from his bell, in turn I respond with my cool horn “BEEP BEEP”
As I neared the 401 and Sheppard corridor very quickly and had be extra careful going through the Sheppard/401 corridor, there were two off ramps which came from the 401 on to the Sheppard going north bound.
I neared the Yonge and Sheppard intersection had arrived early than I thought to my destination. (moving faster that I thought!).
Continued my journey and stopped at the Esso Gas Station on the North-West side on Yonge where I waited to Patrick Bizindavyi to show up for our 3;30pm at our favourite coffee shop Tim Hortons!
Patrick turns the corner and says “What’s up Mr. Connector” (that’s what he calls me)
I said “Doing well! What you think of my two wheeled Porche?”
Patrick could not control his laughter “You are definitely moving up in the world!”
We continued having our discussion for 20 minutes more and then headed to my main meeting with with Lisa Kember and Local Experts Trainers for GTA.
Moral of the story as your journey take an adventure with an e-bike and see the sights and sounds in your city.
