An Executive Resume Is Not For Everyone

While it may seem like an Executive Resume is the kind you need because “Top Level C-Position” is the top rung of the mythical career ladder. The problem with that thinking is the idea that there’s only one career ladder and it is an inexorable march to the one goal of CEO. The Executive Resume is also for someone who is:

– experienced in working within an organization and ready to transition to this type of position
– interested in things like planning the strategic infrastructure of a Fortune 500 company or negotiating multi-million dollar partnerships
– seeking positions as President, CEO, COO, CFO, CIO, CTO and other senior/c-level positions

In reality, there are many career ladders, and every rung is an important rung. Being a senior level executive is just one of them. There are many important levels within a career and many different types of jobs in general. That’s good, when you think about it, because if there were only one type of job, most of us would be pretty unhappy. Your resume is the tool you use to show potential employers how well you can fill the openings in their enterprise, and there are many varieties of job openings. Make sure that you are maintaining your resume as you move through your career. As we work, learn and grow, we change. Then the jobs we are suited for will change, too. This all in turn means that your resume will need to change too.

An Executive Resume will only work for those that are looking for an executive position. An Executive Resume cannot help you if you are trying to explore the opportunity of managing a garden shop. You will need a different type of resume to work with the job that you are applying for. Your resume needs to outline exactly what your qualifications are for a given position. Each resume will need to be tailored to that specific job that you are applying for. You will need to tweak it and make it stand out among the sea of others. Make sure that your resume outlines exactly why you would be the perfect fit for the position. That’s why Professional Resume Services offers different types of resumes and a consultation for every one, make sure that you utilize one when writing your resume. Since when it comes to your resume, one size does not fit all.
