Successful Execs Tell What Worked in Their Resumes

In the free report, “What Worked: ExecuNet Members Reveal Job Search Success” (which you can download by going here), successful candidate describe the resume strategies that worked for them.

“I called to make sure my résumé got to the right person. One of the gregarious part-time workers answered the phone. I learned a lot about the organization and ended-up speaking with the executive director within 24 hours. Sometimes luck, chance and ‘need’ come together.”

“I attended several ExecuNet-sponsored conferences (interviewing strategies, networking, negotiating), which helped hone my techniques in a timely manner. Getting my résumé professionally rewritten was by far the best thing I did this time around. It generated (and is still generating) interest and had a much higher ‘conversion rate’ than any other version of my résumé since I entered management.”

“Clearly define the position, functional area and industry you wish to target for your search and work with a professional to update your résumé for that type of position.”
