Executive Resumes by ResumeEdge.com Executive resume formats generally have: A
more conservative appearance.
A
separate area showcasing Career Accomplishments.
A finished length of two or more pages.
Conservative Appearance
Executive
Resume format generally employs the Times New Roman font, which is universal
on PCs, easy to read, yet elegant in appearance.Designer
fonts, which include BlackAdder II, Castellar, and Broadway, are best left
for graphic designers, artists, and those in nontraditional industries.The
ample use of white space and underscored section headings are aesthetically
pleasing and provide visual cues about where one data area ends and another
begins.
Career Accomplishments
This
is the hallmark of the Executive resume and what hiring managers most want
to see.In this economy, when dozens
or even hundreds of applicants with essentially the same backgrounds vie
for each opening, the only characteristic that will separate a candidate
from all the others is what they accomplished in previous positions.In
an Executive resume, these achievements are showcased near the top of the
first page.What’s more, these accomplishments
are generally quantified in terms of percentages, dollar figures, and time
periods to specifically indicate what was done.
Finished Length
Executive
resumes are usually two or more pages because of the sheer breadth of a
candidate’s experience.However, a
modern resume should be only as long as it needs to be to contain the data
relevant to the current job search.It’s
unwise to expand a one-page resume to two pages to meet an arbitrary page
length, just as it is to cram a two-page document onto one page, reducing
white space and font size to such an extent that the finalized document
is hard to read and not aesthetically pleasing.
