You are looking for a change & asking yourself what your executive resume portray?
- Does it say about how professional it is?
- Does it makes your proud because of the value you have created or pain points you have solved for your employer?
- Does your resume reflects the personal brand you have made during your professional journey?
- Are you sure your executive resume will help you differentiate your credentials from other candidates in the job market.
OR do you resonate with the following:
- You have not given major overhaul to your resume & are thinking of pushing your resume for potential job opportunities give you sleepless nights.
- You need to give substantial time to restructure your resume to position yourself as an expert in function/roel you are applying for.
If your fall into the second category, please re-look at career tools strategy,
Every now & then, I get a handful of requests from senior folks for getting their resume revamped/restructured due to one or more of the following reasons:
- Their dream job role has just opened up.
- Their current organisation has optimized operations & eliminated their position or merged two related divisions & their services are no longer required.
- Someone has requested their resume for an urgent position.
Job search is really competitive & challenging in today’s world & your resume is most power career tool to showcase your value/strengths/achievements. If you are complacent with your current resume, please watch-out you shall miss out of potential & lucrative positions.
You should consider the following:
- No job is permanent! Prepare for your next big move now
You should target to revisit your resume every 4 to 6 months & update your newly acquired skills/expertise or a new milestone achieved/value created/transformation made. Do not wait for an unforeseen event such as lay off or restructuring of your department/elimination of position to happen. Be ready for any eventuality! Your resume should be ready at all times.
- Make a point to review your resume at regular intervals
Even if you have taken up a new role or you are at an apex/C-suite position, you should make it a point to update your resume regularly. This will give you a competitive edge. If you have been at a position/ with an organisation for a longer period of time & have not updated your resume for long, consider engaging a professional resume writer who are aware of current industry & resume writing trends & can position your resume /frame right resume strategy. You would not able to compete with other candidates having similar profile without having a strong career tool strategy in place.
