Executive Resume Samples
|
 |
 |
|
The sample executive resumes
displayed in this portfolio are representative of the quality writing
and design services that we provide. Just as every client is unique,
so is every resume that we create; these examples are simply a
randomly selected sampling of the thousands of resumes in our files. Please note that these samples are
protected by copyright law and copying is prohibited.
Beyond the executive resume:
other executive job search document samples
The "traditional" executive resume and cover letter still play a
primary role in the job search and we do not expect that to change
in the near future. But, in recent years there has been a real
evolution in thought and creativity regarding content, length, and
formats of resumes. Accelerated by an increasingly competitive job
market, a variety of new executive career marketing documents have
emerged and are gaining in use and popularity.
The sample documents presented in
this portfolio are examples of some of the creative documents that we,
at Distinctive Documents, have prepared for our clients. These are
just samples of our work, meant to illustrate the quality,
effectiveness, and creativity of our work.
Please note that these samples are
protected by copyright law and that copying is prohibited.
Networking Resume
A shorter, more concise,
one-page version of
your complete executive resume that is useful in networking situations when
you don't want to hand out your full resume. Your networking resume is
created to succinctly convey the key facts, major highlights, and your
value proposition in an attractive format. You may want to hand
several of these to your contacts, for them to use when reaching out
on your behalf to their own networking contacts.
Specialty Profiles
Usually a one-page document submitted as an
addendum to your resume.
A specialty profile can be used to showcase your specific area of
expertise. Leadership Profiles, Consulting Engagement Profiles, and
Technology Profiles are particularly common, but specialty profiles or
capability
summaries can be created for individuals with expertise in any
area. Profiles might include such items as lists of training or
presentations, case studies, lists of clients or projects, technology
summaries, or even brief case studies.
Biographical Sketches
Typically, a one-page narrative
summary marketing your key qualifications and career achievements.
Biographical sketches are often included in business plan submissions
or when seeking Board appointments or speaking engagements. You may be
asked for a biography by a hiring company, to use in their marketing
materials or on their website.
Reference Sheets
Going beyond a simple listing of references, your
references sheet becomes a
key "selling" piece in your overall career marketing strategy. Again,
it is usually a one-page document that includes a summary of your
relationship with each reference and your traits and qualifications
that the individual reference will speak about.
Accomplishment Summaries
A great way to include more in-depth information about key
accomplishments than is practical in the resume. These documents are
rarely longer than two pages and should include a few
expanded accomplishment
stories written in the Challenge-Actions-Results format.
Other Job Search Documents
No matter what your career goal, at Distinctive Documents we can help
you attain it with creative
career marketing documents customized to your specific needs.

Hooking up with Michelle
Dumas and Distinctive Documents three years ago was like adding
rocket fuel to my career trajectory. I subsequently was promoted
from senior writer to editorial creative director and then editor in
chief with Muscle & Fitness, a major national fitness
magazine. Concurrently, I also opened a series of new freelance
writing accounts, including one with Men’s Health, the
world’s largest men’s magazine, and signed three progressively more
lucrative book deals, most recently with LL Cool J as my
collaborator. In every
instance, the resume Michelle initially created for me, and the
lasting impression it leaves, cracked open the door. It’s an amazing
confidence builder to sit down for an interview with the CEO of a
major American publishing company and have him look down and say,
“Wow--that’s a really impressive resume.” And the fact that a
professional writer turns to her for assistance tells you how good
she is.
I don’t think it’s an exaggeration to
say that hiring Michelle was the best investment I’ve ever made in
my career. I probably have been repaid 100-fold for what I spent.
Above and beyond the quality of
Michelle’s work, the way she goes about doing it is a revelation.
Her adherence to process, deadlines and quality control is so
unyielding that I’ve been inspired to apply it to my own work as
well. When she says something, she inevitably holds herself to it,
which is rare these days.
In sum, to anyone looking for a resume
consultant, I give Michelle Dumas the highest recommendation I can
possibly give to another person: A+, five stars, you name it. You
won’t be disappointed.
