The executive CV

Why it's more important than you think!

 

Implications as to where you stand in the pecking order

  • At the top the field is much more competitive
  • Potential employers' stakes are higher
  • Avoid what too many senior people do: just add the last job onto their CV with a few tweaks

 

Implication for career progression

  • CVs can give a perception of someone's growth potential
  • CVs are used as a key point of reference when considering promotions
  • CVs are referred to when re-structuring a business and deciding who goes up, down and out!

 

Implication for salary

  • CVs in themselves give an example of the quality of your work
  • A well written CV should suggest you could be a great asset to an employer and that you're someone in demand
  • CVs present an opportunity to show the contribution you have made to an employer in the past (your track record), and the contribution you can make in the future, giving an implied value
