Resumix Training

MSCCN was very pleased to conduct two special Resumix teleconferences
in January and February using online resources for interested spouses.

Feedback from Jan., 2009 Resumix training attendees:

Stacy, I wanted to thank you so much
for this class. It was very informative
and you did such a wonderful job in
teaching us everything we needed to
know to make a resume that would help
us apply for Government jobs and give
us a better chance at possibly getting
hired. I believe that this will help me
in my search for a good paying job and I owe a lot to you.

God's Blessings,
Gina Cousino

Dear Stacy,
I would love to say thank you for your
assistance during the class I took this
morning. Your attitude, professional
advice, experiences, and openness are very
helpful for military spouses trying to find
the job. I am glad there is someone like
you - demonstrating that high commitment.

Sincerely,
Malgorzata Makuchowski

Hello Stacy,
(I almost spelled it with an "e" - I have a daughter named Stacey).
Stacy, your Convenience Call was really awesome. You did a super
job. It really makes my own resume look sick. I really need to work
on that one. I may need help getting some jobs because I looked into
SD and there was none in most of the ones I looked into. I hope you
can continue with these Conference Calls because they will help a lot
of people. I know you can pay for a resume to be done for you but I
can't afford to have that done so you also saved me some money!!!!

Thank you so much. You did such a good job of keeping everyone
going. Even when I lost my connection I could still catch up to you.
You are very good!! I am sorry I don't have a picture of myself,
I am the one usually taking picture but as soon as I get one, I will
let you have one, okay?

You take care and thank you again,
Sharon Knebel

Thank you Stacy for helping me with my
Resumix. It made me understand how to
make my resume look more professional
to get an government job. I think this
program is an big help for the military
spouse out there who has been trying to
find jobs for an year or more. This
program will help you make your resume
look more up to date.

Thank You,
Latasha Vaxter

Dear Stacy, I would like to thank you for
teaching the Resumix class today. I had
heard of Resumix and looked at the website
more than once but I was hesitant to start
the process. You put my fears to rest. I
really appreciate the time that you took
to walk us through the process step by
step. You explained the process and each
screen perfectly. My favorite part of the
class was the tips that you gave on what
to do and not to do. I feel very confident
in explaining to my clients the differences
and benefits between a resumix and a resume.

Thank you Stacy. The class was a joy and a benefit personally and
professionally.

Marine Corps Base Quantico Hosted 1st MSCCN/CAI Training and Certification


On November 1-3, 2006, MSCCN and CAI embarked on a new training program that featured
a community management course at Quantico, Virginia. The three-day course prepared
thirty military spouses for the community management exam on December 1st. The course,
normally scheduled as a six-month training, was intense for the spouses. Steve Hurwitz,
Senior Manager of Curriculum Development, made the course very enjoyable.

A career in community management allows military spouses to carry their expertise and
experience with them when they relocate to another area. CAI’s community members are
spread throughout the United States. According to a CNN report, this employment area is
expanding at 25% each year.    Click here to read the full report.


CAI Training and Certification at Quantico ~ Part Two of the Story!
CAI’s community members can be found all across the US and, according to a CNN report,
it is growing by 25% every year. Careers in community management are excellent
opportunities for military spouses due to this portability. Spouses can take their expertise
and education to any duty station in the United States where their service members are
transferred.    Click here to read the follow-up report.
