Expert Resumes & LinkedIn Profiles for Managers and Executives was written specifically to address the nuances of writing for senior-level job search candidates. For managers and executives, writing resumes and LinkedIn profiles is a complex process that requires strategy, careful selection of the right material to showcase, and the most-effective presentation style to capture the targeted audience.

Management and executive job seekers must consider how best to:

• Communicate their personal brand and value
• Identify qualifications, experiences, and achievements most related to current career goals
• Position their most relevant and impressive information with the right language and format to capture attention and inspire interest
• Determine how best to write and present extensive career information for maximum impact
• Cull past experiences to showcase early career success
• Format and design their resume to maximize visual focus on what matters most
• Create a LinkedIn profile that is a complement to the resume--but not an exact copy, written to showcase personality and keyword optimized to attract recruiters and employers

This book addresses all of these topics and much more.

The first section of the book provides an in-depth analysis of each critical component of writing, formatting, and designing senior-level resumes and LinkedIn profiles--everything from crafting personal branding statements, to determining your best resume structure, to writing job descriptions that are rich in content, achievement, and keywords.

The second section includes 100+ pages of sample resumes and LinkedIn profiles targeted to all levels of management and executive careers--from front-line managers to CEOs, and all positions in between.
