Not all resumes are crafted alike.
If you are an executive or aspiring executive looking for a new role, having a well-written and structured senior-level executive resume matters more than you think.
In your ‘regular’ resume, you’ve probably included:
🖊️ Responsibilities and the skills honed during your career
🖊️ Battles won (projects completed), and
🖊️ Results achieved (accomplishments)
…and this would be enough if you are looking for roles below the Director level, for example. This regular resume is a testament to skill, adaptability, and potential.
However, to land a senior role, you must showcase much, much more.
So, what do you exactly need to put on your executive-style resume?
The executive resume is a declaration of leadership, vision, and impact – and your focus MUST be on that if you want to stand out in the sea of other, super-qualified candidates.
Here is what your executive resume needs to show:
🏆 Specific metrics and outcomes of leadership initiatives (revenue growth, cost reductions, market expansion, team development), demonstrating tangible impact
🏆 Clear leadership narrative, highlighting strategic initiatives, and demonstrating how you influenced growth and transformation
🏆 Powerful action verbs and leadership terminology
🏆 Purpose - emphasising not just the ability to lead but to innovate, inspire, and drive significant business outcomes
Does your resume have all this?
