Job Market Trends

Staying on top of job market trends will help you remain competitive in your industry. In addition, investing in ongoing self-development initiatives should rank fairly high on your to-do list. One of the wonderful aspects of technology is that it provides greater flexibility in marketing your value to employers. From LinkedIn to blogging, to professional online portfolios, you can distinguish yourself and uniquely position your leadership offerings within your industry. Below, I have shared a few tips on managing your career and your executive resume.

Follow target companies on LinkedIn: 

In most industries businesses are always on a progressive quest to be more innovative regarding reshaping existing portfolios, rolling out new products, cutting costs, or tapping into efficient ways to align capabilities with customer needs.

By following 2-3 target companies on LinkedIn, or engaging in professional forums, you can get early insight into the latest business trends, competitive challenges companies are facing, or in some cases, businesses have blogs that may offer information regarding the most in-demand leadership skills for your industry.

With this type of information readily available, through accessing your LinkedIn profile, you can receive important updates to help ensure your management qualifications are best represented on your executive resume.

Keep your executive resume refreshed:

Change is constant. That said, regardless if you are preparing an IT Director resume or CEO level resume, staying on trend with technology advances, product innovations, or regulatory changes are great ways to ensure you are writing a good executive resume that shows you are a current, flexible, and adaptable leader.

Catch up on some blog reading:

With a blog, you can acquire a fresh perspective, get inspired, or perhaps become enlightened. Whether you are writing a resume as an early career professional or an executive resume for a senior leadership role, reading a regular blog or starting your own blog helps to keep your mind sharp and delivers insight that can prove valuable in knowing how to write a current executive resume.
