Customized Career Management for Executives and Senior Managers
Executive Job Search
Whether you currently hold a place in the executive ranks or view that as your next career move, you know how critical it is to use a compelling presentation and effective techniques to connect with employers and convince them they need to talk to you. You probably also recognize the importance of networking in your executive job search, particularly if you're in a competitive market with many highly qualified candidates "looking."
At a senior level, the desirable positions potentially available to you are fewer and farther between than for less advanced job seekers, and employers' expectations of value are much greater. Consequently, you need to take a careful look at how you shape and execute your career or job search plan.
A Blue Ribbon Resume has worked with job- and career-change executives for several years, in a variety of industries and functional areas. In addition to applying our own expertise to your project, we can tap into a large network of professional colleagues to gather further input on key issues.
How can we help you expedite your executive job search? Briefly, we can:
- Acquire an in-depth understanding of your current situation, as well as your career goals and requirements;
- Identify and showcase your strongest "value messages" for prospective employers;
- Streamline the job search process so you don't waste valuable time on unnecessary activities; and
- Partner with you to pinpoint the most viable and effective techniques for "getting the word out" where you want and need it to go.
Executive Resume Writing Services
Our executive-level clients typically have an existing resume. However, often it isn't up to date or they feel it doesn't represent them effectively in terms of their present career goals. Whatever your circumstances might be, we will work closely with you to ensure development of the professional-quality marketing tools you need. When we believe your situation calls for more than a traditional executive resume, we will usually recommend one or more of the following from the portfolio of executive resume writing services we offer:
- Targeted cover letter(s)
- Critical Leadership Initiatives addendum
- One-page abbreviated/networking resume
- "Elevator" speeches
- Networking scripts
- Targeted search summary
- Email messages/transmittal covers
