Webinar: In Defense of the “Traditional” Resume: Still a “Must Have” in the Executive Search Process

In the era of LinkedIn, Indeed, and other electronic job search mechanisms, the need for a more “traditional” resume has been called into question. In this webinar, Molly Robb will explain why a modernized version of a “traditional” resume remains an essential component of the job search process and discuss the key characteristics of a bullet-proof, modern resume that will help you stand out from the pack of talented candidates. Topics to be addressed include, but may not be limited to:

• How to tell your story (and what to call it)
• Developing and delivering your elevator pitch
• Describing your tangible core competencies and key skills
• Providing a description of companies and operating environments
• Distinguishing job responsibilities from your accomplishments
• Using metrics to quantify and effectively present accomplishments
• Presenting “outside of work” and community involvement and activity
• Using and tailoring your resume when looking for a Board position
