Frequently Asked Questions

Should an executive resume be more than one page?

Yes. For executives with 15+ years of experience, a two-page resume is standard and expected. Focus the first page on your executive summary and most impactful achievements, with detailed experience on the second page.

What should an executive summary include?

An executive summary should include your leadership level, years of experience, industry expertise, biggest quantified achievements (revenue, growth, team size), and the type of role you are targeting.

Do executives need ATS-friendly resumes?

For direct outreach to executive recruiters, ATS optimization is less critical. However, many executive roles are still posted on job boards, so having an ATS-friendly version is recommended as a backup.
