Powerful Resumes & Executive Bios: The Best
Tips and Strategies
Guest Speaker: Ross MacPherson; President
of Career Quest and a recognized expert in advanced
career strategies.
Date: Wednesday, March 26, 2008
Time: 4:00-5:30 PM Eastern; 1:00-2:30 PM Pacific
Class Description:
When you’re looking to make a successful
career move, there are two documents that executives need –
a dynamite resume and a compelling executive bio. Together they
represent your two most critical marketing documents, but they
are very different documents, written in different styles and
used in different ways. The trick is, executive-level resumes
and bios can not afford to be merely “good” –
good is simply not good enough – they have to be exceptional
if they are going to open the right doors for you.
Before you understand the right words to use, you need to
understand how these documents are constructed from a “strategic”
standpoint, then it’s a matter of applying a few advanced
writing, formatting, and content techniques that produce dynamic
documents, clearly articulate your value to an organization,
and ensure that you are the one they
want to meet.
Key Things You will Learn:
In this 90-minute session, Ross will walk you through the best
practices for constructing powerful resumes and executive bios.
Specifically, you’ll learn:
• How resumes and bios differ – how to build
them, how to use them
• The Top 5 things that must
be in an executive resume if its going to be effective
• A simple content strategy that can turn a ho-hum resume
into one that truly stands out and articulates your value
• How to construct a compelling 1-page executive bio
• Resume content you can use in your bio…and resume
content you shouldn’t use
