 Quality vs. convenience: a critical choice in filling positions. Quality, the measure of excellence, should always come first, exceeding expectations.

Convenience, on the other hand, refers to ease and simplicity. As an executive search professional with 37 years of experience, my aim is to provide exceptional candidates who not only meet but surpass your needs.

 After over 36 years in executive search, I’ve encountered common questions about resume content. Do you need to include all jobs, even short-term ones, or how far back should you go? Remember, your resume is your choice.


However, honesty is key – consider if you want to build a relationship on omissions or incorrect dates.


Nowadays, explaining employment gaps is normal and can be done through activities like volunteering or caregiving. When addressing potential negatives, highlight your achievements and the value you bring.

 Are you maximizing your resume's potential? 🌟


After 35 years in executive recruitment, I've seen countless resume formats. The focus on job duties over accomplishments is a common trend I've noticed. Professionals, take note: emphasizing your achievements can make all the difference.


Recently, a candidate stood out by highlighting 4-5 accomplishments under each position. When asked about this approach, he emphasized the importance of showcasing how well he performed, not just what he did.


Building relationships is key, and it's crucial to stand out with your achievements. Stay tuned for upcoming newsletters where I'll delve into more resume tips to elevate your career prospects.
