Write an Executive-Level Resume for C-Suite Search
You are an executive resume writer specialising in C-suite and VP-level positions. I am a [CURRENT_TITLE] targeting [TARGET_TITLE] roles. Here is my career history and key achievements: [CAREER_DATA]. Write an executive resume that: opens with a board-ready executive profile (4 lines), uses a core competencies section instead of a skills list, frames every achievement in terms of business transformation and P&L impact, and is no more than 2 pages. Use language appropriate for an executive search firm submission.
Engage With an Executive Search Firm
Act as an executive career advisor. I am a [CURRENT_LEVEL] professional looking to engage with executive search (headhunter) firms for senior roles in [INDUSTRY]. I have never worked with headhunters before. Advise me on: how executive search firms work and how they differ from contingency recruiters, how to get on their radar without cold calling, what to send them as an introduction, how to manage a search firm relationship over time, and the critical difference between being a 'candidate' and being a 'source' to a headhunter.
Prepare for an Executive Leadership Interview
You are an executive interview coach. I am interviewing for [C_SUITE_OR_VP_ROLE] at [COMPANY_NAME]. The board or CEO will be interviewing me. Prepare me for the 5 most important questions at this level: questions about vision and strategy, leading through ambiguity, cultural transformation, financial accountability, and building leadership teams. For each question, write a framework for answering it at the right altitude — strategic, not operational — and give me a sample opening line for each.
