Resumes for Senior Management to Director Level

Are you seeking your next career growth opportunity or thinking of changing your career/ employer, or making the move to the C-Suite?  Are you an accomplished professional who understands the value you bring to the table, but really don’t know how to communicate your strengths or market yourself to land a senior, higher-level position?  If you fall in any of the above areas, you are like many talented senior managers and directors I have worked with to articulate their value proposition to potential employers.  Your resume needs to tell a compelling story to convince a company that you are the right candidate for the job.  I can create that resume for you leading to your next growth position, as I have done for thousands of middle-management to senior level professionals.  Give me a call to start a career discussion or send me an email with any questions you have to get your career progression started.

Resume Branding for Senior Directors and Executives  

Are you a CEO, COO, CFO, CIO, CTO, President, Executive Vice President, SVP, Regional VP, or Senior Director/Partner looking for your next career move or another executive level position?  Have you had enough of the same challenges (day-in, day-out) to deal with and are looking for a different or unique opportunity that stimulates your creativity and challenge your ability again?  Your resume needs to unequivocally demonstrate your unique professional branding message/value to capture the interest of your targeted companies/employers, including executive recruiters and HR hiring executives.  I can craft that resume, professional bio or LinkedIn profile that will open doors so that you can close your next executive opportunity.  Give me a call or email me to initiate a career discussion and personal branding strategy.

International Professionals: Get Your C.V. Translated into a Compelling Resume

In North America, a resume is the most widely used document in a job search process.  It is a crucial document that will determine, in almost all cases, whether or not you will be selected for the job interview.  Thus, it must effectively showcase your career experience, qualifications and accomplishments in a manner that impress potential employers.  The CV (curriculum vitae) on the other hand is a more comprehensive document (10+ pages in length depending on career level) that is designed to introduce you to employers in academics, advanced research, senior  administration and teaching.

For international professionals who are seeking career opportunities in Canada or the U.S., it is essential to translate/convert your CV into a North American resume format that is compelling.  Resumes are usually two to three pages in length and contain only information that is relevant to your target positions, profession or career areas of interest.  Your resume should provide a brief synopsis of your career success, core competence and soft skills, followed by your professional experience, accomplishments and qualifications.  While many international job seekers include personal information on their CVs such as date of birth, marital status and ethnicity; this information should be left out entirely on your resume.  Including personal information on your resume could lead to age discrimination and you being screened-out of the hiring process.

From CV to resume optimization, what you need to know.  Resume optimization and/or Search Engine Optimization (SEO) are key concepts you should be familiar with when it comes to building your resume and being found by employers online and within their resume database systems.  Optimizing your resume with relevant keywords will also make it easier for you to be found on job boards such as Monster, CareerBuilder, Workopolis and social media portals, including LinkedIn.  Many recruiters, recruitment agencies and executive search consultants routinely search Google, industry-specific job portals and other search engines to locate candidates to fill positions and build talent pool for future hires/placements.

Hiring technology improves recruitment efficiency and cost-effectiveness in general for business and industry.  Since most employers today, particularly large global corporations, use applicant tracking and recruitment systems to screen and rank resumes for interviews—it’s absolutely crucial to ensure that your resume incorporates all relevant keywords, job-specific phrases and industry terminologies in order to be be screened-in/flagged by these systems for interviews.  Click here for tips on developing a keyword-rich resume.
