What is the Value of an Executive Resume Writer for Executive Positions?

The skillset of an Executive Resume Writer includes all of the capabilities of a professional resume writer in addition to an in-depth understanding of the complexities of an executive career search. The search for an executive position is highly complex and requires communication of select content in strategic ways. An Executive Resume Writer is well-versed in these intricacies and is able to craft a persuasive, high-impact resume that captures the executive’s most marketable assets.

The advantage of utilizing an Executive Resume Writer begins with the writer’s knowledge of applicant tracking systems (ATS) — the databases that house candidate information after a job application has been submitted online.

To perform well in an ATS, which equates to more eyes on your resume, the resume must be optimized with keywords that are specific to the target industry and position. This process is called search engine optimization (SEO). An Executive Resume Writer is an expert in SEO, and that proficiency is invaluable in helping a candidate land an executive position.

Beyond keyword value, an Executive Resume Writer has great insight into the type of content that hiring managers and recruiters are looking to see when searching for top talent in executive roles. An Executive Resume Writer utilizes this insight, along with advanced writing and document design capabilities, to express this key content in the most persuasive fashion.

The end result is a high-impact resume communicating the type of ideas, skills, experiences, and accomplishments that hiring professionals are seeking.

Outside of the content of the resume, an Executive Resume Writer also implements strategic formatting decisions in alignment with current resume trends. The visual presentation of information is critical when crafting a resume, and an Executive Resume Writer is an expert in this matter.

Not only does an Executive Resume Writer design the resume to be aesthetically pleasing, but also takes into account the intricacies of the way in which an ATS parses a resume. This includes understanding how text boxes, tables, graphs, images, and other design elements affect the resume’s SEO value in an ATS.
