Jonathan Flaks Coaching

Your executive resume should not begin with your history.
It should begin with the problem you can solve.

Too many strong leaders open their resumes with generic phrases such as “results-driven executive” or “proven leader.”

Those statements may be true, but they do not explain why an employer should choose you.

In Part Two of this article series, I explain how to create an executive resume purpose statement that clearly communicates your value and gets the right decision-makers interested.

Does the top of your resume make your value immediately clear?

If you're a senior leader who's shocked by how few interviews and offers are coming your way, you're not alone, and it's not about your experience.

AI has made applying easier and getting screened out easier too. The leaders breaking through right now aren't applying more, they're getting visible, referable, and credible before roles are ever posted.

Free live session covers:
✅ How to access hidden roles before they're public
✅ Leadership-level networking that actually works
✅ Where consulting, fractional, and board roles fit into today's market

28 years working with senior leaders on exactly this.

Two executives. Same title. Same experience. One resume gets set aside, the other gets a call.

Very often, the difference is sitting in the first three lines.

In this blog, I break down how to write an executive summary that works. The right way to open it, what to leave out, and how to make sure it can only be describing you.

If your summary still opens with "results-driven executive," this one is for you:
