Career Impressions: Executive Resume Tip Sheet #2

PROVE
YOUR
CLAIMS

To captivate a reader, executive resumes require more than just strong,

tailored content or a sharp opening headline. They need proof.  Proof of
the business leadership skills one claims to covet.

Saying you are good at something and providing clear evidence are two
different things. 

Supporting evidence lies within measurable impacts, specific quantities, and

strong metrics generated during a career. If you increased sales and revenue,
drove new initiatives, or escalated profits you must provide examples.
Quantity facts as often as possible.

Instead of:
Responsible for leading a large team through the delivery of improved
business operations and revenue growth.
Try:
Expanded business revenue 55% YOY, directing a global team of 65+
through the standardization of core business operations, which also
generated $1.5M in cost-savings.
