CPC Member Spotlight: Barb Penney
Barb Penney found a home with Career Professionals of Canada (CPC).
She became a CPC member after her research uncovered that CPC members were leading the Canadian career development profession. Barb wanted top-tier skills and enrolled in every CPC learning opportunity available. She completed courses, received certifications, and won awards that validate her expertise today. More importantly, through active volunteering she built a friendly and supportive network of professional allies across the country.
Operating her own business Winning Resumes Career Solutions, Barb works with people ready to pursue new roles with confidence. Most clients are in leadership roles, are ready for change, and value working with a professional. She positions clients for their next role providing career marketing documents, interview skills, and strategic career conversations.
Barb discovered the value of working with a career professional when a kind and generous professional helped her rebound from a layoff. That experience left a lasting and powerful impact that she aspires to pay forward to others.
When she’s not at her desk, you’ll find her swimming, riding her bike, or running on the trails near her home in Edmonton and or at adventure travel destinations.
