After writing 500+ resumes for CEOs, CFOs, COOs, and Board Members, I keep seeing the same 5 mistakes that instantly kill your chances:

1. Leading with job duties instead of impact.

Nobody cares that you "managed a team of 50." They care that you grew revenue 340% while cutting costs by $2.3M. Quantify everything.

2. Using the same resume for every role.

A Board Member resume and a COO resume require completely different positioning. One is about governance and strategic oversight. The other is about operational execution.

3. Burying your executive summary.

Recruiters spend 6 seconds on your resume. If your first 3 lines don't scream "I'm the one," you're done.

4. Ignoring ATS formatting.

Yes, even at the C-suite level, your resume goes through Applicant Tracking Systems. Fancy graphics and tables get stripped. Clean formatting wins.

5. Writing a 4-page novel.

Two pages. That's it. If you can't articulate your executive value in two pages, you haven't figured out your story yet.

If you're a senior executive ready to make your next move — we write resumes that open boardroom doors.
