This book provides the largest compendium of executive resumes ever published for the general public: general and financial management from VP to CEO, plus special sections on technical, engineering, sales, marketing, medical, governmental, military, academic, media, nonprofit, scientific, legal and transitional resumes.

From what color paper to use to how one phrases a letter to a headhunter, this book contains everything you'll ever need to know about executive presentations:

• How long is too long?
• What kind of resume goes in a business proposal?
• What three things does a headhunter check first?
• When will you need a narrative biography?
• What stylistic techniques will keep the reader focused on your skill, not your age?
• What's different about resumes on the West Coast as compared to the East Coast?

And it's packed with detailed information on:

• Standard Executive Resumes (how to beat 1,000-to-1 odds)
• Headhunter Resumes (how they present candidates)
• Curricula Vitae (for academic and medical professionals)
• Principal and Conmpany Profiles (for officers and entrepreneurs)
• Salary Histories (position yourself to win in negotiations)

Plus sections on special problems: overqualified, too old, laid off or demoted, no education, job hopping, date gaps, too long with one employer, employer involved in scandal, dead industry, and so on.

If you are an executive in transition, this is one book
you can't do without.
