Are you still relying on anemic, overused phrases like “results-oriented” and “responsible for” to sell yourself in your executive resume and other career marketing communications?

Don’t fall into the trap of boilerplating your resume to read like your competitors. You and your promise of value to potential employers are unique. The words you use to describe your executive brand and value shouldn’t be generic.

Take the time to pinpoint precise words to differentiate the unique set of characteristics you have to offer that no one else does.

How’s Your Executive Resume Working For You?

How long has it been since you updated your executive resume, or even looked at it?

You were in demand and sought-after by recruiters. You easily slid into jobs throughout your career.

WAIT! Before Writing Your Executive Resume and Career Biography . . .

Don’t even attempt to write your resume, bio, and other career marketing documents until you know who will be reading them and what they’re looking for.

Without first identifying who your target audience is, how can you possibly market yourself in a way that will resonate with them?

Many of the executive clients I work with tell me when we first speak that they’re looking at pursuing several diverse kinds of jobs. They want to be sure their resume will cover them for all those jobs.

They make the mistake of expecting a one-size-fits-all resume to hit home with recruiters and hiring decision makers. A generic resume, trying to cover too many bases, just doesn’t work.
