Executive Job Search Checklist & Guide

2/13/2018

Comments

 
In my work with many executives and director level clients, I've learned to walk them through a simple process and way of thinking that helps them keep calm and have a plan of action they can follow. Here are the steps we follow. I hope they serve you! 

  • Finding a job is a Job – treat it like a part-time project that you’ve been hired to do, to showcase your research, writing, and personal marketing and sales abilities.
  • Targeted Resumes are a must – remember to tailor each resume to the target role/company. That might only require simple asjustments in wording or layout.
  • Targeting Your Efforts is Key – it’s better to identify and target 25-30 companies, and follow a simple strategy (such as Intro/Share/Contact) than it will ever be simply apply to any and every job online
  • Don’t Wait – Take Action – you can’t wait for them to contact you. Have a timed strategy in place to make your 3-5 impressions, and then schedule them and be consistent.
  • Use a Broad Search Strategy – this should include job posting websites, company sites, state and fed employment agencies, and your personal, professional, and online network.
  • Brand yourself – align your resume, your LinkedIn profile, online executive Bios, and anything else you’re using during your job search.
  • Craft various stories – Situational / Achievement / Results focused stories that sell your experiences, talents, and strengths. Also craft your story of struggle and interest in each target company. 
  • Prepare for Interviewing —Company research, job / contact research, exploratory, standard, behavioral & situational interview questions.
  • Do your Salary Research – see what the market is paying, not only for your target job but for your unique skills and abilities. The sum might be worth a lot more than it’s parts.
  • Get out there and Networking – Traditional networking opportunities, Eventbrite, Meetup, school alumni groups, corporate alumni groups, professional and industry associations.
  • Follow Up! – This might be the most important and missed point of all. Start and finish your job search process by following up with potential employers.
