"BMA CareerLink provided me with the stepping stone I needed to move into a forward-thinking organization that values marketing, both as a corporate discipline and as a business value driver. They also have a healthy appreciation of the BMA-Colorado organization and the skills I've sharpened as an active member. It's been a perfect match." -Tom Kennedy, Republic Financial, Comergy Marketing Manager
"Over the last few years, BMA has proven to be the most valuable professional association in terms of propelling my career. I not only gained new clients through BMA's many networking opportunities, but also found a wonderful new position through the relationships I have fostered.

Job Seekers: How to Post a New Candidate Summary
Submit an electronic summary of your resume via the Post A Candidate link on the navigation menu.
Non-members can pay for your listing online with your credit card through our secure online payment system. After your listing has been reviewed and posted to the site, you will receive your password via e-mail, which will allow you to sign in as a Non-Member CareerLink User on the log-in page.
Your Summary of Qualifications will then be included in the online CareerLink database for review by potential employers. BMA Colorado members or non-members who purchased a CareerLink listing will be able to contact you directly by e-mail to express their interest. Your e-mail address, however, always remains anonymous. Your confidentiality is assured. Your personal contact information cannot be accessed at any time.
Your qualifications will remain online for four months. After that time, we will contact you to see if you still wish to remain active in CareerLink. Please let us know when you locate a new position so we can remove your candidate summary from our database.
