GUARANTEE YOURS IS NOT JUST ANOTHER EXECUTIVE RESUME
On average, your executive resume has less than 30 seconds to tell the
reader what has happened in your career, what actions you took to make
those things happen, and the personal skills and abilities that have
allowed you to succeed in the job. Your executive resume must be a
distinctive, hard-hitting 'snapshot' of your career, allowing you to
quickly differentiate yourself from your well-qualified competition.
It's just that simple ... yet that complex.
When you choose to work with Executive Resume, you are partnering with a
team of certified professional executive resume writers and executive job
search experts who thoroughly understand the techniques and materials
required to succeed in today's highly competitive job search environment.
Our only goal is to optimize your marketability by presenting your
unique combination of personal qualities, strengths and accomplishments
in a way that the reader feels compelled to schedule a job interview with
you. Executive job search is a most competitive activity, and if you decide to go
it alone, your decision may prove to be very costly.
EXPLOIT YOUR KNOWLEDGE AND SKILLS FOR MAXIMUM RESULTS
The first step in preparing a truly superior executive resume is
determining, in an organized way, exactly what it is that you have to
sell. In other words, you must identify all of your appropriate work
experiences, skills, abilities and achievements so that we may properly
define your value to prospective employers. To accomplish this goal and
thoroughly comprehend your background and competitive situation, we
utilize a unique information gathering device which we call our Career
Profile Analysis. By using this exclusive tool, we are able to clarify
your job objective and develop an in-depth understanding of your
experience and abilities, without requiring a personal meeting.
Each of the 18 different Profiles that we utilize ... depending on your
organizational level, functional expertise or type of industry ... has
been carefully constructed and refined over a decade of usage, making it
the most effective such device available today. In addition, each
Profile contains numerous examples to make it as easy as possible for you
to identify the qualifications, work experiences and accomplishments that
best support your job objective. In this way, we are able to collect all
the pertinent facts and marketing data so that we may develop the type of
high-impact, achievement-oriented executive resume that will open the
doors to the best jobs. Since the quality of information we obtain from
you has a direct correlation to the quality of your executive resume, no
other similar professional executive resume writing service can surpass
our efforts.
RESULTS-ORIENTED EXECUTIVE RESUME WRITING EXPERTS WORKING FOR YOU
Based on the information you supply, a certified professional executive
resume writer will then prepare a number of drafts until a potent
marketing document is developed, contacting you by telephone to clarify
vague, unclear or incomplete information. Finally, your executive resume
is reviewed by the Senior Career Advisor with whom you are working to
ensure it meets our exacting quality standards and properly conveys your
unique blend of personal qualities, strengths and accomplishments.
We then fax you a copy of your executive resume so you have the
opportunity to evaluate its content, structure and the strength of its
market appeal. After making any revisions you feel are appropriate, we

EXECUTIVE RESUME COVER LETTERS THAT SEPARATE YOU FROM THE CROWD
When most people talk about executive resume cover letters, they are
usually referring to a generic type of cover letter that is mailed with
the executive resume. In reality, however, there are a variety of
employment letters, each having its own unique purpose in your overall
executive job search marketing strategy. For example, one type of resume
cover letter, referred to as a broadcast letter, is mailed with an
executive resume. A different executive resume cover letter is used as a
follow-up to your first mailing in order to increase your overall
response rate. Another is a combination of executive resume and cover
letter for resume ... referred to as an executive resume letter ... and
is designed to stand by itself. Still others are used to reinforce your
interest after concluding a job interview, or to express
continued interest in the position at a later date.
Regardless of the type, the executive resume cover letter has a great
deal of impact on how you are perceived. What you say and how you say it
immediately tell the reader something about your communication skills, as
well as your intellectual capacity. If well constructed and carefully
worded, an executive resume cover letter can attract attention, raise
curiosity, and create enough interest to grab the reader's attention.
Conversely, a poorly written executive resume cover letter can cause the
reader to discard your credentials without even reviewing your executive
resume. There is no guarantee, of course, that a good executive resume
cover letter will get you a job, but it will go a long way in
determining if you will really be taken seriously.
Each executive resume cover letter and employment marketing letter we
create is designed to heighten the interest of the reader and to clearly
convey a sense of your suitability and value to the organization. Our
six most common forms of executive resume cover letters and employment
marketing letters include:
1. COVER LETTER FOR RESUME
A one-page cover letter for resume is used
with your executive resume to contact employers as part of your executive
resume mailing campaign. In addition, you will also receive a copy our
exclusive 14-page customization guide which shows you how to modify your
cover letter for resume when responding to newspaper ads and Internet
postings, or when sending your executive resume to executive recruiters
and networking contacts.
2. FOLLOW UP COVER LETTER FOR RESUME
A one-page executive resume
cover letter is used as a follow-up to your initial executive resume
mailing effort. The use of a follow-up executive resume mailing,
approximately three to four weeks after your initial mailing, can add as
much as 80% to the total response rate you receive. Obviously, this can
mean a significant increase in the number of job interviews you are
granted.
3. CUSTOM WRITTEN COVER LETTER FOR RESUME
A one-page customized cover
letter for resume is prepared for a very specific job where the
employer's preferences and requirements are known in advance. A written
job description or a telephone interview with you is required in order to
identify the exact skills, abilities and background that the employer
considers important. A custom written cover letter for resume is a
highly targeted marketing document and is mailed with your executive
resume.
4. POST-INTERVIEW THANK YOU LETTER
A custom written, post-interview
thank you letter is mailed immediately after a job interview. In order
to develop a highly targeted marketing document, we will conduct a
telephone interview with you in order to identify key points discussed at
the job interview and determine exactly what you feel you can do for the
firm. Since timing is critical, a post-interview thank you letter should
be completed within 24 hours of a job interview.
5. CONTINUING INTEREST LETTER
A one-page marketing letter that is
used to reinforce your interest in a position for which you have already
interviewed. A continuing interest letter is frequently accompanied by a
newspaper, magazine or Internet article that pertains to the hiring
company, its product / service line, or an applicable technology. This
technique is extremely effective at communicating your continued interest
in a position until the final hiring decision is made.
6. EXECUTIVE RESUME LETTER
A two-page, highly targeted marketing
document that is actually a combination of an executive resume and cover
letter for resume. This type of document is ideal for people who have
been out of work or who are changing careers, since it allows you to
focus on what you think is important. In other words, it gives you the
opportunity to play down your employment record (job dates, job titles
and the names of companies for which you have worked), while focusing on
the qualifications, work experience and accomplishments that are
appropriate for the position to which you aspire.
