It's Not The ATS —
It's Your Resume's Story
1. Your resume isn't proving you're better than hundreds of other qualified candidates.
2. Being qualified isn't enough —
you need to be the obvious choice.
We Uncover What Sets You Apart
Our 1-on-1 interview reveals the story that makes you the hire, not just another candidate.
We dig deeper than any questionnaire ever could.
We Prove Why You're #1 of 700
It's not just about you
— it's who you're competing against.
Our interview process probes to identify what makes you the standout choice.
We Prove Value, Not List Duties
Every bullet point demonstrates impact:
the challenge you faced → the action you took → the measurable result you delivered.
You've Led Organizations.
We Prove the Impact.
Our 1-on-1 interview process uncovers the transformations you've led, the value you've created, and the legacy you've built — NOT "provided executive leadership."
We reverse-engineer your target executive roles
Before your interview, we analyze CEO, CFO, COO, and board-level positions to extract exactly what search firms and boards need to see
We ask the questions
you can't ask yourself Our writers probe deep into your experience — the turnarounds led, the growth achieved, the organizations transformed

Your Resume Becomes Proof You're the
Best Executive Candidate
When a hiring manager reads your resume, they should think:
"This person has solved the exact problems we're facing."

What were the projects or initiatives you worked on? We probe to understand the scope, the stakes, and the significance.
"Tell me about the biggest project you led last year..."
2. We Uncover the Goals
What were the goals of the project? The company's objectives? Your specific responsibilities? We connect your work to business outcomes.
"What was the company trying to achieve with this?"
3. We Document Your Systems
What systems, processes, and strategies did you implement to achieve those goals? This is where your expertise becomes visible.
"Walk me through how you actually made this happen..."
4. For Managers & Leaders
What challenges did you face? How did you deal with them? What systems and strategies did you implement to overcome obstacles?
"What was the biggest challenge, and how did you solve it?"
The Result?
Your resume clearly articulates
to every hiring manager:
If your company is going through these problems —
here's the PROOF of how I can help.

Frequently Asked Questions About Executive Resume Writing Services
Get answers to common questions about our professional executive resume writing service.
How much does a professional executive resume cost?
Professional executive resume writing services range from $549 to $749. Most executives require our 60-minute ($549) or 90-minute ($749) packages. The senior writer and executive format ensure your achievements are positioned for search firms and boards.
What makes an executive resume writer different from a general resume writer?
Executive resume writers understand board dynamics, PE/VC expectations, and what search firms look for. Our 1-on-1 interview process extracts value creation stories — P&L impact, transformation outcomes, strategic achievements — that questionnaire-based services miss.
How long does it take to get an executive resume written?
You'll receive your first draft within 3 business days after your interview. Rush options are available: 48-hour rush, 24-hour rush, or same-day delivery for urgent opportunities. After receiving your draft, you have 14 days of unlimited revisions.
Do you offer a guarantee on executive resumes?
Yes. We offer a 90-Day Interview Guarantee — if you don't land interviews within 90 days of receiving your final resume, we'll completely rewrite it free of charge. With a 98% interview success rate, we're confident in our work.
How competitive is the executive job market in 2026?
Based on our analysis of 12,000+ executive job postings, the average position receives 35 applicants. While fewer than mid-level roles, the quality of competition is significantly higher. A professionally written, achievement-focused resume helps you stand out.
Should executive resumes be more than one page?
Yes. Executive resumes are typically 2-3 pages to adequately capture career scope, major achievements, and board/leadership experience. Our executive format presents this information strategically while maintaining readability for busy decision-makers.
