Résumés

During the initial stage of the job search, your résumé has one job—to secure interviews. To do this, it must convince the prospective employer that, above anyone else, you’re the one they need in the target role. Partnering with me ensures that your résumé will communicate very powerful and distinct messages about you and your leadership—that you understand what makes businesses run successfully, and you possess the skills and acumen to contribute value from day one.

Developing this critical document requires an average of 15-20 hours of intense “deep work,” including research, strategy creation, story/content development, and keyword optimization.

Letters

The cover letter is a vital partner to the résumé. Many executives cringe at the thought of writing customized letters for each job target, but this is a critical part of an effective job search. Enlisting my help will ensure that you have a dynamic, persuasive cover letter tailored exclusively to the opportunity, role, or person you want to target.

  • $150 – $300 Customized Cover Letter

The post-interview thank you letter presents an opportunity for you to seal the deal, so to speak. Even if you nailed the interview, you can use this letter to reiterate key talking points or highlight other aspects of your experience that weren’t discussed. And, if the interview was less than perfect, it gives you the opportunity to clarify any responses that may not have been delivered as smoothly as you would have liked.

LinkedIn Profile

Development & Optimization

There’s no doubt that LinkedIn is an essential element of the executive job search, but did you consider how powerful this online presence can be in establishing or maintaining your personal brand and/or positioning you as a noted thought leader? The LinkedIn profile must be both engaging and concise, and since it’s designed to be searchable by recruiters and prospective employers, it must also include rich keywords to increase your probability of being found. 

Having written LinkedIn profiles since the platform’s inception, I know exactly what’s needed to capture the salient points of your career and create a robust, compelling profile.

Executive Biography

An executive biography can serve multiple purposes. Within the scope of the job search, it can serve as an alternative to the résumé for distribution to network contacts or during the informational interview (situations where presenting your résumé may not be appropriate). Another popular use is a shorter “speaker’s biography” used for others to introduce you as a speaker or panelist at events and conferences.
