Services for Senior ExecutivesExecutive services and documents designed for the elite, top 5% of the executive market... Phase I - Core Services
With one of our executive branding strategists to define and polish your message and strategy for search; foundational to the writing and planning process. You will cover the following areas:
Includes consultation, comprehensive planning worksheets, and all writing, editing, and revisions. You will find the worksheets to be foundational to all other project components including cover letters, addenda, and interview preparation. Your investment reflects the value of the process and the resume. Phase II - Peripheral Services Add one or more of the following documents to complete and differentiate your personal marketing library.
Entitled "Critical Leadership Initiatives" and focusing on four or five career defining accomplishments, this addendum showcases critical skills in a way a resume can't. It has tremendous functionality and can be used with or without the resume depending on the situation — as a portfolio-type presentation for top positions, a networking tool, or as an interview leave-behind.
A project addendum is another flexible document suitable for information critical to your personal marketing presentation but too much for your more concise resume presentation. Content typically includes highlights and performance metrics of top projects (excellent for consultants or project managers). However other content might include quotes on performance from peers, bosses, clients, and/or vendors; extensive information on education / continuing education; lists of presentations and/or publications; even a personal mission statement discussing your leadership vision and management style.
An executive summary is a third, highly flexible marketing document that can introduce a multi-page resume / addendum, be an effective stand-alone networking piece, work in tandem with the resume addendum to create a marketing document that is less formal than a resume, or accompany a networking or cover letter when a full resume would not be appropriate. A concise networking tool.
An executive bio is an essential component of a top executive's personal marketing library. Bios are necessary for inclusion in your HR file, corporate core management team profile, media kits, informal personal and professional networking (in lieu of resume), and as an add-on to a cover letter where a resume would not be appropriate. Top recruiters will often write a bio for use as a presentation tool to their client company. They will be thrilled to know that you already have one, and yours, with your clear ROI proposal and personal brand clarity, will be of far better quality than what a recruiter can normally produce.
A cover letter can make or break your resume. It is the advertisement for your value and it guides the reader to find in the resume what you want him to know most about you. It is also the place that your personality and suitability for a particular position can be best described. This four-letter package is designed to be easily individualized by you for direct company contact, recruiters, ads, and networking. Custom letters for a specific opportunity are also available; please ask for details if you have interest.
If your references are pressed for time, don't know what to say, or you want to coach them in their response, it may be best to supply them with an already-composed template letter that focuses on your top values, making it easy for them to say, "Jerry's great".
Did you know that according to classic job research by Mark Granovetter of Harvard, 43.3 percent of unadvertised positions are created for the applicant?
