Executive Resumes
The people who can write a federal executive package are over-qualified for the private C-suite resume. We bring that rigor to VP, director, and chief roles, and aim it at the recruiter and the board.
What an executive resume has to do
An executive recruiter spends seconds before deciding to read on. The resume states the thesis and signals the level without a wasted line.
A thesis, not a history
An executive resume leads with the value you create, then proves it. We find the through-line and put it first.
P&L, scale, and outcome
Revenue, margin, headcount, and transformation, stated cleanly so a recruiter feels the level in one read.
Recruiter and ATS
The same keyword discipline that clears a federal panel, aimed at the executive search firm and its screen.
How the writing works
You stay the author. We do the targeting.
We are experts at condensing, targeting, and packaging your career into the short two or three page format. We do not rewrite your resume from a generic template; generic does not get interviews.
Briefing review
Your certified writer reviews your current resume and your new objectives, job titles, industry, and specialized knowledge, and sets the writing format and emphasis plan.
Keywords from a real announcement
The writer analyzes one target recruitment ad, builds seven to ten keyword phrases from it, and makes sure the resume covers them.
Accomplishment coaching
You write your Challenge, Context, Action, Results stories in your own words, starting with our free CCAR Accomplishment Builder. We trim each one to 40 to 50 sharp words. You will need these stories for the interviews too.
The executive read
What the executive read rewards
An executive recruiter decides in one pass. Four rules govern the page.
Senior reads in one pass
The resume states the thesis and signals the level without a wasted line.
Numbers, even without numbers
Our achievement extraction method quantifies accomplishments even where the record has no obvious figures.
Seconds, not minutes
Recruiters spend 6 to 7 seconds scanning a resume. Accomplishment statements are the difference.
The stories carry the interview
The CCAR accomplishment stories in the resume are the same ones you will tell across the multi-stage corporate interview.
