The Flagship Executive Resume Writing Service
You make a big impact.
Your CV should make that clear. It should make a powerful case for hiring you.
I take your ‘mish-mash’ of 25+ years of career detail. And I turn it into a presence that wins respect and opportunities. I’m your partner. We work one-to-one. It’s done-for-you.
Your resume is the the foundation of your professional presence.
It should be visually compelling. And it should position you strategically. It must be factual. It must present evidence. It must carry a gravitas that signals heavyweight experience and value.
It should be commanding by it’s clarity. Not vague. Not weak. It should inspire trust.
What it must not be is cringy self-promotion. Or dominated by a list of ‘duties’. And it must not look like thousands of ordinary ‘job hunter’ type CVs.
It must tell a story of results and unique value.
What Makes This Executive Resume Writing Service Different?
First, I’m not a ‘sausage machine’. A high-volume operator. I work with a select few clients every month (I say no to many). We start with an exploratory call. We figure out if we’re good to work together before we start. And I guarantee this: we work until you’re happy.
Here’s what else makes this service different:
Deep discovery. We start with a thorough information-gathering process. I ask questions you’ve probably never been asked before. We dig into what makes you effective. What problems you’ve solved. What makes you uniquely valuable. How you’d like to see yourself portrayed.
Strategic positioning. I research what employers are looking for. I align your CV with the specific roles you’re targeting. I define what you do, who you help, and how. I identify what sets you apart—y’know, your “secret sauce”—and I make it stand out (while also not being ‘loud’.)
Visual impact. Your CV will be modern, unique, and compelling. It will present you as an expert, an authority, an outstanding candidate. Visually interesting, innovative. Yet short, to the point.
Storytelling. We’ll highlight what you’ve fixed, built, turned around, rescued, or stabilised. We’ll tell stories that demonstrate prove your competence. We’ll be concise. I’ll add headlines, call outs, taglines.
And besides that…
Guarantees: I can’t guarantee any client a job. Landing a job means a complicated mix of factors have to come together all at once. Many of those factors are totally out of our control. Rather what I promise is to be your partner on the journey. To work with you until you succeed. I’ll iterate. I’ll tailor it for applications (for 1 month). And if something happens that you don’t take the project forward after payment is made, you have a 1 year credit with me.
Creativity, Innovation: I’ve invented many unique communication ‘devices’ within resumes. 90% of resume writers follow a standard/template approach. On the other hand, I’ve created the [DIS]RUUPT framework of principles. So, I’m constantly looking to find ways to make my client impossible to ignore. It could be via the words I use. Or in the design. Or a call out. A quote. A tagline. An excerpt. A bold statement. One well known headhunter (global firm) calls the CV I wrote for an FD, the “gold standard” for his firm. (Thanks, Trevor!)
Who Is The Executive Resume Writing Service For?
How do you know this service is right for you?
- You likely have 25+ years of professional experience.
- You have an unorganized, ‘mish-mash’ of info – several old CVs, performance reviews, 360 degree feedback reports, multiple psychometric leadership reports, many testimonials (some formal, others casual), a record of awards won, many success stories, some failure stories that you’ve learned from.
- You have no up-to-date statements of who you are now, what you deliver, why you can be trusted, what your brand of leadership is, how you go about things.
- Your existing resume or CV looks like a million others. You feel a bit embarrased by it. Not of yourself. You’re proud of your record. But your CV is just not conveying your value.
- Your existing resume has all of your early work included too – older, less relevant roles.
- You feel like you’re risking getting left behind, becoming invisible.
What Clients Have Said:
“unique… impact”
“Gerard, your insights and ability to help people articulate their value is unique and so valuable to many people who often cannot… I often reflect on the output of the CV you created for me. I recall how much self-belief and energy you gave me. I trust you continue to have a positive impact on every person you work with.”
– AS, Global Client Partner,
DXC Technology (Australia)
“exceptional”
“I have had the privilege of working with Gerard for many years. He is exceptional at what he does and quite simply just gets it every time. My strongest recommendation.”
– IV, former CMO, Absa Bank, Marketing Consultant
“genius”
“Gerard is a genuine genius. He managed to take my CV, which at the time emulated a mini dissertation, and turned it into a two-page document that had only essential information and is also easy on the eye. Most importantly, his ability to pay attention, anticipate and address client needs is second to none. Through his thought provoking approach, I have managed to unravel talents that have been long hidden in my traditional résumé. To say I am happy to recommend Gerard, feels like a bit of an understatement.”
