What an executive resume does differently

It opens with a positioning statement rather than an objective, and it quantifies at the level of the business: revenue, margin, headcount, markets. The Executive Two-Column Resume puts expertise areas in a sidebar and gives the main column to leadership roles. The Executive ATS Resume does the same in a single column for portal submissions. The Senior Professional Resume is a one-page option for senior individual contributors, and the Long Career Resume handles two decades of roles without crowding.

Trimming a long history

Detail the last ten to fifteen years; summarize earlier roles in a short 'Early career' block. Keep bullets to outcomes, not responsibilities. If you need the extra space, the two-page resume layouts are built for it. The professional resume templates are the natural fallback if you'd rather understate the seniority.

Executive examples

The Director Resume, Engineering Manager Resume and Corporate Resume show how leadership scope is written up in three different settings. More senior roles are collected under administration and management examples.

Common questions

Should an executive resume be two pages?

Almost always. One page can't hold a senior career without dropping context the reader needs.

Do executives need an ATS-friendly resume?

Yes when applying through a company site or a search firm's portal. The Executive ATS Resume is built for that.

Should I include board roles and speaking?

Yes, in a short section after experience if they're relevant to the target role.
