Energy Recruiting’s Post

I recently read the resume of a prominent executive.   He is a change-maker…growth catalyst…and process optimizer. I know this because we talked, I explored and pressed, and he shared some fantastic stats and leadership examples with me. Yet, the resume he initially shared with me did not reflect this.   His resume looked hastily compiled and only contained general job duties and basic career content.    In business, this would be called undervaluing and underselling—a massive lost opportunity.   This top executive knew he was qualified for top positions, but he had not heard back from anyone who had received his resume.   Can you relate?   5 things you can do right now to improve your resume:   1. Pinpoint your brand and unique value offering. If you don't know your value - how can you 'sell' it to others?   2. Identify the reader's needs and pain points. Consider and share how you are their solution. Don't assume they can tell   3. Focus on your results, not the tasks you performed   4. Develop clear statements of success in your resume. Be as specific as possible   5. Use a modern format. The right format and select design elements can better guide the reader’s eye and spotlight key content   What else?   #resume #executiveresume
