		TESTIMONIALS "I am so excited about all of the amazing tools I learned about through the OJSRM certification modules! I am still having fun picking new ones to explore further each day. CDI really has fantastic programs and they are no joke--you have to work hard for CDI credentials! But, you truly learn so much in the process. OJSRM is my first CDI certification, but I hope it's not the last--there are so many more amazing programs that I want to do!" - Dr. Colleen Georges, Colleen's Career Creations * * * * "The best thing about the Internet Job Search Expert certification course is that I have been able to apply the material immediately and on a daily basis with my students/clients. The course takes you through every aspect of the internet search process and truly coaches the coach on how to teach clients to network and market themselves strategically. The developers did a great job using research from experts in the field; it is evident that CDI puts massive amounts of energy into their coursework to ensure a quality result and practical usage." - Erin Meenan, C.D.F., M.P.A., CIJSE, Champlain College * * * * "This is a must have course for anyone who coaches or works with job seekers. The job market is changing every day. The traditional ways of finding work has changed forever. This course teaches how to find and secure job opportunities on-line. The information and materials are in abundance!" - Catherine Palmiere, Adam Personnel, Inc. * * * * "The CIJSE taught me different methods of gathering information from the Internet (far more than just the Internet job search as noted in the title). I learned to search more efficiently, effectively, and, most useful to me, the course made me think "outside the box". Since graduating from this course, I have found jobs for EVERY ONE of my clients, many of whom had spent months job searching before coming to me." - Laura Drew, CIJSE, CEIC, Carolina Career Coach READ MORE TESTIMONIALS

Additional Testimonials

“First of all the CIJSE was well worth the money!

What I like best from the course are the tools that were provided to conduct company research. Once you set up your alerts, you are done! This way our clients do not have to search for hours online or pay a fee to find research on their target companies.

The course teaches you not to go in circles on the internet and keep researching the same sites all the time. Our clients can do this forever! This is great information to share with our clients to help move them forward.

The course also discusses first being general with your searches and doing all of the research first, and then teaches you how to get more specific. From general, a fine tuned specific marketing plan should be created. It is a wealth of job search websites! Sites I never new existed and it has been a valuable asset to share these sites with my clients.”

- Rose Rybski, Career Resolutions

“I remember telling Laura of CDI the CIJSE should be a 'requirement' for us as part of the CARW. The information is very good! I really believe that in order to best serve our clients (especially now in this economy) the knowledge gained from this course will not only help you, but help your clients. Just the targeted industry resources alone is worth the time, effort, and money.

You may wonder why you need a certification to do a job search on the internet and who would need a certification for that. Well, you don't, but this course kicks up the concept a notch and teaches you how to be more efficient so it doesn't have to be as time consuming for you or your clients.

For those of you leery of taking a test, I am, too. The CIJSE test includes the research you will conduct. This course is not a mind-bending course if you are afraid of the testing. It is a course that give you a myriad of tools and resources necessary to conduct an effective job search for your clients and add an additional source of revenue for you. Or, you can teach them how to do it. I prefer the latter because I am a trainer too...and like the concept of give a man a fish and he will eat for a day, or teach a man to fish and he'll eat forever. =) This course has really helped me even when teaching my clients about the Federal job search so it can be applied to both private sector and Federal in a sense.

Don't hesitate if you are on the fence about this certification. You will love the knowledge you gain from it and it will make you money...and smarter.”
