Executive Job Search Tips – How to Create An Executive Job CV
Jason Lee | December 28, 2009Designing of the resume doesn’t mean that you get a job. A resume can’t make you qualified if you are not up to the mark .A resume won’t open up doors or knock down obstacle in your path. Executive resume’s are much longer (two or even three pages is the norm) if we compare it with entry level or mid level resume. Everything in the resume should support a specific career target. Resume should present a sharp, focused, cohesive picture of the person that who he is and why he is valuable.
1. A summary will give a better start to resume as compared to an objective. You should start your resume with an objective, what is required at the starting of your resume is a clear cut mention of your strong points which would inspire an employer to give proper attention to your resume. The summary should reflect the highlights of your career contribution and properly tell the kind of profile you’re looking for.
2 Showing chronologically work history is always a good idea. In case, responding to any recruiters online, your purpose won’t be fulfilled if your resume does not show your work history in a chronological manner as most employers like to easily go-through it thatway followed by a powerful introduction. Properly display details of your job, employer and the time-period of job assignment even when trying to show any not-so-shining recent experience. If not following these standards, the probability of your resume making way to further gets diminished.
3 Your Resume should be more about that what you did instead what were your duties in the job. Rather than describing your scope of responsibility describe your achievements and contribution. Things you did to improve the revenue, profitability, productivity, customer satisfaction or contribution to other business objective. As an Executive it is better to be focus on strategic contribution rather than administrative task. By doing all this things be sure that you are communicating the big picture in your resume. Employers are pretty intelligent; they can make assumptions based on the job titles.
4 Your impact will be more if you highlight your contributions in a context or as a specific challenge. Instead of writing that you have increased the revenue by 23 percent you should write that you reversed the downward revenue trend by focusing business development efforts in niche markets. And then you achieved the profitability for the first time since 2002. Use of the bullets and indentations make the information easy to absorb. Never make mistakes of spellings, punctuations or grammatical errors .
