MARCH 17, 2014

It may seem obvious that the first thing to do, when you’re about to start an executive job search, is locate, dust off, and update your resume. In my experience, many executive job seekers do just that. They often neglect targeting, and narrowing their search to several select companies, because they want to keep their options wide open. That strategy may have worked even a few years ago, but job search doesn’t work the same way now.

I’m often asked what changes I’ve seen in effective job search strategies from several years ago versus now. Rather, it’s better to limit your resume to 1 or 2 pages, and provide short, substantive , statements of your related background, accomplishments, and quantified results. These days most any Applicant Tracking System (ATS), or means for a recruiter to search for someone is based on key words they use for the search.

Even if you think your job is not in jeopardy today, you should always be proactively managing your career because stuff happens…quickly.

Do it now, before you are in “I need a job yesterday” mode. Do you know what you would do with your 401K or other investments if you lost your job tomorrow?

Craft an elevator pitch to communicate your value proposition and be prepared to give accomplishment-focused, metrics-driven examples of how you have helped the companies you’ve supported do things smarter, faster, or more efficiently.
