Is your résumé on trend? If it is, you’ll get more interviews. If not, expect to be rejected or ghosted by recruiters and hiring managers. These tips will help you craft a résumé that reflects your success in a changing world.

First, understand what’s top-of-mind for CEOs and feature solutions in your résumé. Transformation, artificial intelligence, and return-to-office are more urgent than ever.

Transformation

CEOs worry that their organizations won’t be viable in 10 years if they don’t transform. So, ask yourself what you’ve contributed to preparing your organization for the future. Then, feature your greatest accomplishments and highest impact in résumé bullets. 

Ideas include: 

  • New business models
  • Market expansions 
  • Technology modernization
  • Customer experience improvements

These types of change need efforts at all levels of the organization. Whether you led, were on the team, or supported a team member, identify and share your contributions to transformation.

Finally, weave transformation skills into your résumé’s narrative. Some examples include:

  • Needs assessments
  • Cross-functional collaboration
  • Data analytics
  • Process and workflow automations

Artificial Intelligence

Many CEOs say they don’t feel prepared to integrate AI across their organizations. Beyond that, they don’t have AI-ready workforces. Use your résumé to show that you’re ready and willing to hit the ground running.
