WORK EXPERIENCE
Company 4 , Location
Job Title (MM/YYYY)-Present
This is where you write about your experience. Do not simply list your day-to-day job duties. Work in resume keywords that are most relevant to the job for which you’re applying. Try replacing some of your duties with measurable results and accomplishments rather than duties. Remember, “duties tell, accomplishments sell.” To create a strong measurable result, try this format: [Action verb] [brief explanation of accomplishment] resulting in [quantifiable outcome. Using %, $, etc. will draw the eye and make an impact]. For example: “Responded to an average of 203 customer service emails per week, improving response time by 74% and customer satisfaction by 31% between 2016 to 2017.”

Keep your sentences short and to the point. This will make it easier for a recruiter or hiring manager to read or skim. Use your limited space to focus on things are that most relevant to the new job, rather than going into every detail about the responsibilities that took up most of your time. Tailor your resume to the job description.

It’s OK to leave positions off your resume if they aren’t relevant to the job you’re pursuing. Unless the experience is crucial, you can also go into fewer details on older positions.

Tailor your experience sections to the job description. Don’t use up too much of your space detailing daily duties that aren’t relevant to the job for which you’re applying. Study the job listing to figure out what’s most important to the hiring manager. Use important resume keywords and accomplishments that speak to your ability to execute.

Work the hard skills and keywords found in the job description right into your resume. That said, simply listing the keywords in these dedicated skills sections is not enough. Recruiters want to see context that proves that you actually possess the skill. For example, if you mention a piece of software like Microsoft Excel, Adobe Photoshop, or AutoCAD, mention the types of projects it was used for.

Recruiters like to be able to get an idea of why you move from company to company. Demonstrating your increasing impact and responsibility from job to job shows the recruiter that you’re capable of taking on more and more and gives them an idea of where your career is heading.

Job Title , MM/YYYY-Present
You don’t need to include every job you’ve ever had on your resume. Stick to the jobs that are most relevant and demonstrate your career trajectory. For example, if you are a Project Manager, you probably don’t need to mention the supermarket job you had as a teenager or the bartending job your maintain on the weekends.

Professional Experience
Company 7 , Location
Job Title MM/YYYY-Present
➢ At the executive level, little attention should be paid to your day-to-day duties, work habits, or even hard skills.
○ Instead, it’s all about results and impact.
➢ Under your leadership, what was the business able to achieve?
○ What were your biggest initiatives? What bold moves did you make improve the company’s standing? How much did the business grow while you were in the position?
➢Learn more about creating powerful, concise executive accomplishments
➢ Numbers and results. Executive recruiters need to know you’re going to move the needle
○ For example: “Added $32M in new profit over 3 years by developing differentiated product line which decreased service time 50% for end users.”
Company 6 , Location
Job Title MM/YYYY-Present
➢ When applying for executive positions, you can’t lean on your hard skills as much as you did earlier in your career. Executive soft skills take on greater significance.
○ Unfortunately, you can’t just say you have leadership and expect executive recruiters to believe you. You have to find a way to prove it. For example:
➢ Leadership: Ask yourself, what situations benefited the most from your timely leadership?
➢ Vision: When you mention your big ideas, initiatives, and accomplishments, demonstrate your vision by including the why and placing them in context of the bigger picture.
➢ Entrepreneurial: Think back to any pet projects you nurtured, departments you grew, or calculated risks that paid off big.
➢ I nnovation: Compile the best examples and stories from your past experience in which you changed operating procedure, streamlined processes, consolidated systems, or mined a previously untapped sector of the market.

➢ Typically, we advise to keep your resume to one page, but if you’ve been at it long enough to reach the C-suite -- particularly if it’s been 10+ years -- you deserve another page or two.
➢ Don’t worry too much about expanding beyond a single page as you show your career trajectory. That said, make sure to put your most important information and achievements on page one.
➢ Use short bullet points and strong accomplishments to keep your experience powerful and to-the-point.
Company 3 , Location
Job Title MM/YYYY-Present
➢ Your executive brand is important to executive recruiters. “I don’t care if it goes back 15 or 30 years,” an executive recruiter told Jobscan . “I just want to see that the resume is promoting a highly competent, proven executive who knows what they’re best at, where they want to go, and what they really want to do next in their career.”
➢ Find opportunities to show not only the end results, but how you identify opportunities and achieve results
➢ If possible, communicate your business values. Give the recruiter an idea of what you’ll want to accomplish first at this new job based on what you’re sharing about your previous jobs.
Company 2 , Location
Job Title MM/YYYY-Present
➢ As you get further back in your career to your roles as a manager or individual contributor, start to pepper in more of your hard skills and domain knowledge.
➢ Executive recruiters will like to gain an understanding of your career foundation.
Company 1 , Location
Job Title MM/YYYY-Present
➢ “What have you done for me lately?” You don’t need to include your entire career on your resume. If something is 15 or more years old, think hard about whether it adds to your candidacy or not, especially if age discrimination is a concern.
