Meet Deborah Wile Dib, President

Hello! I’m Deborah (Deb) Wile Dib, President of Advantage Resumes of New York. At this time I am the only career professional to hold the combination of elite personal branding, resume writing, interview training, and career coaching credentials and certifications listed above (and described below). 

These certifications stand for things of which I am very proud — achievement of excellence in cutting edge personal branding, resume writing,  job search coaching, and career management coaching; adherence to ethical business standards; and commitment to continuous updating of employment knowledge and skills. 

At Advantage, we’re always searching for the latest in resume writing and career trends. We regularly attend (and present at) multiple annual conventions for professional resume writers and career consultants, exchange information with hundreds of colleagues via e-mail bulletin boards, and read, read, read. We believe that sharing knowledge is important and we use many venues to do so.

Over 120 samples of my resumes, cover letters, and career tips are featured in over twenty-five career books. I’ve been quoted and profiled in print and on the web, and I speak on resume writing and career topics at careers industry conferences, in the media. I also speak on executive career issues and trends at professional organizations and in business workshops.

Committed to ensuring high standards in my industry, I have in many leadership roles, and am active in many career industry organizations. I served for the past three+ years on the board of directors (Master Team) of the Career Masters Institute (www.CMInstitute.com), where I am "Resume Master." I was a co-founder of NRWA (The National Resume Writers' Association-- www.nrwaweb.com) where I served in leadership positions for six years as editor-in-chief of the NRWA professional journal and as a member of NRWA's Certification Commission (the governing body for the NCRW--Nationally Certified Resume Writer credential). In my life "before Advantage" I earned my stripes with over twenty years in training and development, sales management, and buying.

Bottom-line? I’ve worked very hard to become one of the best personal brand strategists, resume writers, and career consultants in my field so that I can give my best efforts to you, to move your career to the place you want it to be! It’s my hope that you and I may begin a partnership that will bring you career satisfaction and success.
