Executive Job Search Advice - How To Write An Executive Job Resume

By Jason Lee

Resume is not designed to get you a job. A resume can't make you qualified for positions outside your area of expertise. When we compare between entry level or mid level resume executive resume's tend to be longer (two or even three pages is the norm) or even a bit more detailed, and emphasize strategic contribution. The resume along with other documents should present a sharp, focused, cohesive picture of whom you are and why you are 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 Resume should be in proper order starting with your scope of responsibility then your achievement and your contribution. Contributions that improved the productivity, profitability, revenue, customer satisfaction or other things that contributed to other business activity. An Executive should be more focused on the strategic contribution rather than the administrative task that he has done. Always keep in mind that the resume readers are very smart they can make the assumption on the job title and general description. They don't need everything to be spelled out for them.

4. Always present your resume to highlight your achievements as a challenge you achieved. Instead of showing that you increased the revenue by 23 percent you should show that revenues grew by 23 percent and the company achieved profitability for the first time. It is always important that you make your resume in such a way that it is easy for the reader to pick up important information. Use of type enhancements, bullets and indentations to create an organizational hierarchy that makes your information easy to absorb. Never make any spelling or grammatical errors
