\nYou have years of experience and knowledge to bring to a company. You\u2019re a proven leader and you have what it takes to succeed in an executive role. Now you just have to convince a hiring manager of that.<\/p>\n
The executive candidate pool is highly competitive, and standing out amongst that level of professional expertise and skill can seem daunting. But, it doesn\u2019t have to be an impossible task.<\/p>\n
Last year we discussed what to include in your executive resume<\/a>. Now, we\u2019d like to discuss how to ensure you stand out amongst the other highly qualified executives who are applying for the same position as you.<\/p>\n First, here\u2019s a quick refresher on the things you should include in your executive resume:<\/p>\n You\u2019d be surprised how many executives don\u2019t define their professional title. A title clearly defines your current role and the position you\u2019re looking for. Without a title, recruiters who are quickly scanning your resume won\u2019t have a clear and immediate idea of what role you\u2019re applying for. It\u2019s also important to make sure the title is descriptive and compelling.<\/p>\n You\u2019ve most likely heard the term \u201cvalue proposition.\u201d It doesn\u2019t just apply to products or services, it can also come in handy when you are trying to market yourself to a hiring manager. Defining your value is a huge part of your executive resume. Ask yourself, what is it that you specifically can offer your future employer to benefit the company? What experiences, skills, and achievements do you have that make you the right fit?<\/p>\n Be as specific as you can about your experiences and achievements and be sure you\u2019re using examples and context to paint a full picture of who you are as an employee.<\/p>\n As you work on your resume, ask yourself what exactly it is you\u2019re looking for. What type of company do you want to work for? Do you want to manage a large team? Are you looking to have a narrowed focus or do you prefer a broad range of responsibilities?<\/p>\n It\u2019s important to know the type of specific position you are looking for and the type of company you want to work for so that your resume can be tailored to that. Think about the title you want to hold and industry you want to work in and then make sure every part of your resume speaks to that target audience. When thinking about your career history, target each of those experiences and accomplishments to the specific role you are applying for.<\/p>\n When it comes to executive resumes, it\u2019s important to be as specific as possible. Especially when it comes to your achievements. Be sure to measure your success and the value you added to the company by using quantifiable data. Instead of simply saying \u201cimproved production\u201d or \u201ccut costs\u201d say how much you improved production by or how much you cut costs with exact figures. This will prove your value and give clear data that is quick and easy to understand.<\/p>\n It\u2019s important to make sure all of the critical details of your professional history are on the first page of your resume. Hiring managers are busy and see hundreds of resumes a week. If they can\u2019t quickly find out that you have an MBA and were part of a billion dollar project, they most likely won\u2019t ever see it.<\/p>\n A simple way to make sure you aren\u2019t burying the important information is to make a list of your top achievements, skills, degrees, etc. Once you do this, compare them to your resume. Are all of them listed And more importantly, are all of them listed towards the top of your resume? Or at least on the first page? If the answer is no, it\u2019s important to rework the document to ensure the most relevant and impressive information takes priority.<\/p>\n Still not sure how to go about crafting your executive resume?
