"Investment in Educators" Program - Career Directions, LLC Provides 15% Discount to Displaced Teachers on Preparation of Resumes and Career-related Documents

Online, May 3, 2010 (Newswire.com) - Hartford, CT, - As thousands of teachers across the country receive pink slips due to budget shortfalls, Career Directions, LLC stands ready to provide assistance. Along with The National Resume Writers Association (The NRWA), a non-profit organization of professional resume writers, Career Directions, LLC has decided to come to the aid of teachers through the "Investment in Educators" program.

The initiative, which offers educators a 15% discount on the preparation of resumes and other career-related documents, runs until September 1, 2010. The discount is available to all teachers who have been notified their contract will not be renewed or have already been displaced during the economic crisis.

"Teachers are the backbone of our great country and they have dedicated their lives to educating our future leaders," stated Charlotte Weeks, president of The National Resume Writers Association (www.thenrwa.com). "As an association, we decided it was time to give back by helping teachers increase their competitiveness in this tough job market with well-written, career-related documents, while easing their financial burden."

More than 45 resume writers and members of The National Resume Writers Association have stepped up to provide discounted services for teachers across the nation.

With National Teacher Day approaching on May 4, 2010, Career Directions, LLC and The National Resume Writers Association believe it is important that other businesses get involved in honoring teachers as well.

"The members of our organization realize the crucial role teachers play in ensuring every student receives a quality education," said Weeks. "We would like to ask businesses to join us on National Teacher Day by also offering discounts on services and products to teachers in their local communities."
