Executive resume writing: prepare the evidence behind your next move

This service is for applicants presenting senior leadership or specialist experience. A useful brief starts with the role you want and the decisions you have actually been responsible for. Your job title alone does not explain your scope, and years of experience alone do not establish executive accountability.

What to bring to your resume review

• Target: a vacancy, role brief or description of the next appointment. Explain whether you are pursuing a specialist position, senior management, an executive appointment or a board opportunity.
• Scope: the teams, functions, budgets or projects you were accountable for. Distinguish direct reports from people you influenced and delegated work from final decision authority.
• Decisions: two or three examples of a business problem, the options you considered, what you changed and the outcome you can substantiate.
• Evidence: approved performance reports, project milestones or other records you may safely use. Describe confidential work without client identities, unreleased financial information or sensitive staffing details.
• Career history: correct titles, dates and progression, including consulting or interim appointments. Keep the employer relationship clear.

Show leadership without taking credit for the whole team

Illustrative evidence prompt: instead of “Responsible for transformation”, describe “Led [your workstream] within [programme], agreed priorities with [decision-makers] and introduced [specific change]. The team achieved [verified outcome]; my contribution was [your decision or action].” Replace every bracket with your own facts. If the outcome is not measurable, explain the completed change and how it was reviewed.

For promotion into an executive role, show relevant responsibility you already hold without changing your current title. For a specialist move, make your technical contribution understandable to the people deciding the appointment.

Choose documents and timing for the application

Use the quote builder on this page to view the available turnaround and document options. Check the final selection for inclusions and price before payment; do not assume a board biography, LinkedIn rewrite, cover letter or coaching is included in every option. If the application asks for a different document, explain that requirement when seeking advice.
