If you know how to market a product or present a budget, you know how to sell yourself, right? Wrong. Seasoned executives can make ineffective job hunters, say those who receive an increasing number of such resumes.

Executives with strong resumes are in a good position to "show, not tell", but many haven't learned that lesson. They will write, "I'm a high-powered executive" instead of simply quoting the size of the budget they manage.

Such executives have done hiring for their former employers, but many haven't been on the other side of the desk since college. And they're too close to the product - themselves - to apply professional savvy.

Did you know that 60% of senior executives maintain active professional relationships with their career consultants? Recent surveys reveal, although there are a variety of reasons, most cite their need for an independent third party to evaluate new job opportunities.

Many executives, floundering at absence of mentors throughout the corporate structure, are relying on professional career consultants to fill these important roles.

At Edward Luttner Associates we confirm this trend and fully expect it to continue. We understand the needs of the individual and the challenges you face. This is why we provide ongoing career consultation services as an integral part of our client relationship.
