  • Is Your Non-Verbal Communication Style Ruining Your Job Interviews?

    Forbes

    Communication isn't just about what you say. It's made up of three components:

    • Words: What is actually said

    • Tone of voice: How we say it

    • Body language: What we communicate with our face and body movements or non-verbal communication

    While some claim that body language accounts for a large percentage of all communication, others find that speculation to be a bit high. Regardless, it is clear that body language plays a very important role in communication.

  • Seven Ways To Transform Your Executive Resume From Good To Great

    Forbes

    As an executive resume writer, I often work with executives who want to take their resume from “good” to “great” so they can accelerate their job search.

    In applying for a job, thousands may be competing with you for the honor of being the one candidate to receive a job offer, so it is imperative that your resume stands out from the crowd and positions you as the top candidate.

  • Land Your Next Executive Job In A Few Short Weeks

    Forbes

    These days, many executives find that a job search is not only difficult to conduct, but a lengthy, time-involved process. As time draws on, they may even find themselves in an unproductive, stagnant job search. Or, perhaps they are landing interviews, but for some reason, not sealing the deal with a job offer.

    Being caught in a stalled job search is not only discouraging, disheartening and difficult — it's costly too. For every multiple of $100,000 in salary, being unemployed for a…

    These days, many executives find that a job search is not only difficult to conduct, but a lengthy, time-involved process. As time draws on, they may even find themselves in an unproductive, stagnant job search. Or, perhaps they are landing interviews, but for some reason, not sealing the deal with a job offer.

    Being caught in a stalled job search is not only discouraging, disheartening and difficult — it's costly too. For every multiple of $100,000 in salary, being unemployed for a month can cost a person $8,000 in salary. But it doesn’t have to be that way. In fact, I’ve been able to help 10 out of the last 14 executives I’ve worked with land a job within four weeks — and that includes those with a previously stagnant search that had been dragging on for over six months.

    The number one way to accelerate an executive job search is to define and articulate your brand, then communicate it on your resume, LinkedIn profile and during the interview.

  • VP - From Stagnant Job Search to Hired within weeks

    I had 4, VP-Level clients this summer who had been searching for jobs for 6 months or longer. I optimized their LinkedIn profile so recruiters could find them, and re-wrote their resume so that it showcased their strengths and "sold" them to the hiring manager. They all reported an immediate increase in LinkedIn profile views, all received roughly 6 additional interviews within a week or two and received job offers within a few weeks.
