| How to
Write an Executive Resume that Stands Out |
Can your executive
resume beat 95% of the competition? Executive
positions, while very rewarding, tend to be
hotly contested and unforgiving in their requirements.
For this reason, your executive resume should
be engineered to beat at least 95% of the
competition.
Resumes that shout CHIEF EXECUTIVE, or VICE
PRESIDENT, do not impress jaded recruiters.
Most executive recruiters receive hundreds
of executive resumes a week. The explosion
in the number of startup companies during
the dot-com era means that more than a few
managers over 30 years old have been directors
or vice presidents for at least a few months.
Desirable positions attract hundreds of applicants,
qualified and not.
How does an executive stand out in a sea of
VP, CEO, COO, CFO, CIO, and COO candidates
without losing dignity? Resume engineering.
One must write a resume designed to deal with
contemporary economic realities and compensate
for the challenges posed by production-oriented
hiring processes.
If you write your resume without professional
assistance, you could be at a disadvantage
because many competing executives employ the
services of professional resume writers. |

Your
Executive Resume Must Sell
to Two Audiences... |
The Gatekeeper
and Hiring Authority constituencies are as
different as Republicans and Democrats, and
often have equally divergent agendas.
Generally, the people who screen executive
resumes at medium and large companies are
not executives; these gatekeepers may be recruiters
or other members of the HR department. Gatekeepers
guard their turf jealously, so you can be
certain that the hiring authority will not
see any resume that has not been blessed by
the gatekeeping organization.
Unfortunately, most gatekeepers have hundreds
of resumes to screen, and do not have enough
information to make sound screening decisions.
Additionally, most gatekeepers have been burned
by candidates who look good on paper but fall
short in interviews. They know that they will
be blamed for any poor hiring decision, so
they tend eliminate resumes for the slightest
infraction or omission.
It is very difficult to develop a good understanding
the screening process unless one has screened
hundreds of resumes, week after week, for
many years. Many hiring managers and HR personnel
who have not screened tens of thousands of
resumes will tell you that your resume should
be one or two pages long. Not true. Seasoned
recruiters know that a resume should be as
long as it takes to get the point across.
The bottom line: You must write a resume that
can help you sell your suitability to the
ultimate decision maker through a proxy. Think
of it as trying to conduct an election campaign
via fax. Your resume must be near perfect
to pass muster. |

Even
Senior Managers Can Write
Ineffective Resumes |
| It may seem reasonable
that a senior manager or executive, with extensive
hiring and interviewing experience, would
be qualified to write an effective resume.
Not so, for two important reasons: |
| |
| Managers
do not typically perform gatekeeper tasks. |
| They do not have
to screen hundreds of resumes based on vague,
changing, and sometimes contradictory requirements.
Often, hiring authorities realize what they
are looking for in a candidate only after
they see it. In order to write an effective
resume, the resume writer must understand
gatekeeper psychology and anticipate screening
criteria. |
 |
Selling
oneself on paper is considerably more difficult
than evaluating resumes written by job applicants. |
Even seasoned
executives produce mediocre resumes because
they are inclined to modesty, and lack perspective
and objectivity. Translating knowledge of
self into a short marketing document does
not come easily to most people (even professional
resume writers).
Accomplished executives write subpar resumes
for the same reason that skilled executive
resume writers do not necessarily make effective
managers: expertise in the one does not imply
proficiency in the other, and vice versa.

Resume
Logic Writing Service
An Unfair Advantage |
Our executive
resume service is for executives, senior managers
and professionals seeking director, vice president,
C-level, or other positions that typically
require at least ten years of management or
senior-level professional experience.
Over the last five years, we have written
and revamped numerous executive resumes and
cover letters and can show you how to optimize
your job search. Each executive resume we
create is designed to set the candidate apart
from other candidates, and persuade the search
committee that our candidate is best suited
to achieve their firm's objectives.
Our executive resume packages contain much
more than a detailed profile; they are high-impact
executive portfolios that sell your abilities,
experience, and qualifications in a manner
that commands respect and positive action.
Each executive package includes an executive
resume and cover letter and, if required,
addenda that present such information as special
projects, publications, speaking engagements,
press coverage, technical skills, research,
or postgraduate research.
We will distill information obtained from
telephone consultations and emailed questionnaires
into a high impact executive resume that is
guaranteed to yield superlative results. If
you are not able to provide sufficient information
on any of your current or previous employers,
we will conduct whatever research is necessary
to obtain a solid understanding of the employer,
the industry, and your role in that environment.
