Designing of the resume doesn’t mean that you get a job. A resume can’t make you qualified if you are not up to the mark .A resume won’t open up doors or knock down obstacle in your path. Executive resume’s are much longer (two or even three pages is the norm) if we compare it with entry level or mid level resume. Everything in the resume should support a specific career target. Resume should present a sharp, focused, cohesive picture of the person that who he is and why he is valuable.

1. A summary will give a better start to resume as compared to an objective. You should start your resume with an objective, what is required at the starting of your resume is a clear cut mention of your strong points which would inspire an employer to give proper attention to your resume. The summary should reflect the highlights of your career contribution and properly tell the kind of profile you’re looking for.

2 Showing chronologically work history is always a good idea. In case, responding to any recruiters online, your purpose won’t be fulfilled if your resume does not show your work history in a chronological manner as most employers like to easily go-through it thatway followed by a powerful introduction. Properly display details of your job, employer and the time-period of job assignment even when trying to show any not-so-shining recent experience. If not following these standards, the probability of your resume making way to further gets diminished.

3 Resume should highlight the things you have done to improve the profitability, productivity, customer satisfaction or things that contributed to other business objectives. You should focus on the strategic contribution rather than the administrative task. Always keep in mind that the employer who is reading your resume is much more intelligent. They can make assumption based on the job title and general descriptions.

4(a) Your accomplishments will have even more impact if you present them in context or in relation to a specific challenge. Instead of writing that you have increased the revenue by 23 percent you should write that you reversed a five year declining revenue trend by focusing business development efforts in niche market. You achieved the profitability for the first time since 2002. You should make the reader to skim through the resume to pick the important information. Use of enhancement, bullets and indications make your information easy to absorb. It’s important to keep in mind that you don’t make any spelling, punctuation or grammatical error.
