CDI is more than a professional association... CDI is a brain trust of committed individuals who, every day, help career professionals to change their lives in very significant ways.

What is unique is that our diverse members have different goals that they each achieve with the unique and powerful venue and suite of tools offered by CDI....

... Successful Self-Employed Industry Veterans

... Struggling Start-Up Solopreneurs

... Busy University, Corporate & Military Placement Directors

... Transitioning HR & Recruiting Professionals

What has CDI done for them?

  • Successful and comfortably established 10-year career industry veteran uncovered the tools and strategies to triple her prices and get them just months after joining CDI (when she didn't realize there was even room to do so).

  • Struggling stay-at-home mom found balance, doubling her income in one year while working less than part-time and still putting her family first.

  • Overwhelmed university placement director identified immediate resources which allowed her to make her programs more structured and her graduates more successful in starting their careers.

  • Talented industry professional gained book contract after landing CDI's coveted TORI award.

  • Resume writer closed $1,600 single sale while taking advantage of a CDI job fair partnership manning a free booth.

  • Established Executive recruiter, challenged by current economy, joined CDI and immediately received face-to-face access to 800+ job seekers (free) at a CDI-sponsored event.

What's stopping you from identifying what exciting growth and success might still be waiting for you?

You may be established and think you are doing all you can do, that you are as profitable as you can be, and that you are as qualified as you need to be.

You may be starting out and unaware that what you don't know will hurt you.

What you don't know; what you're not doing is a TIME BOMB!

The careers industry is volatile and ever-changing, and no one individual can successfully keep up with all that is needed today to ensure individual, business, and ongoing client success. In fact, our members tell us they could easily spend 100, 200, even 500 hours each month just trying to stay abreast of new trends for their career services, business management, and marketing. Where do you turn, what should you learn, what do you need to know?...

It's overwhelming and frustrating, but it doesn't have to be with CDI at your side!

CDI SAVES you from the information overload. CDI saves you time and energy, shortens your learning curve to success, and helps you attain and maintain your position as the industry expert your clients and colleagues can admire. CDI positions you to break the barriers to thriving, vibrant success! 

You simply will not find the level of inclusive services, programs, research, tools, support, information, and time-savers elsewhere!

You will ALWAYS find the solutions and resources you need with CDI! At CDI, we see what you can become, even when you don't! Join Now!
