Ten Executive Resume Writing Tips to Help You Succeed in 2019
As an executive looking to advance your career, you likely have a long history of experience and accomplishments that should set you apart from other job applicants and easily capture the attention of hiring managers and executive recruiters. And while your work history does set you apart, it needs to be presented well in your cover letter and resume to get the attention of the people you want to get an interview with. An entry-level employee may be able to get away with a standard, black and white, one-page resume that is just a chronological list of work history, but as an executive, you can’t afford to take that route.
