Everything on this page is free. It is the same material our writers and reverse recruiters use when they build a client’s positioning, organised so you can work through it on your own.
Start with a sample at your level
- Award-winning resume samples: the documents behind iCareerSolutions’ 32 industry awards, with notes on why each one worked.
- C-level resume examples: CEO, CFO, COO, CIO, CTO, CHRO and board resumes.
- Director and VP resume samples: the step from functional leader to executive.
- Mid-career professional samples: managers and senior individual contributors.
Then read the guides
The blog covers the questions we hear on every strategy call: how long a resume should be, what to lead with, how executive recruiters actually read LinkedIn, and how to search while employed without your employer noticing.
If the resume is not the problem
Most senior candidates who contact us already have a decent resume. What they lack is access: roles that are never posted, warm introductions to decision-makers, and time. That is what reverse recruiting fixes. Start with what reverse recruiting is, then whether it is worth it for you, what it costs, and how the process runs week by week.
How to use these resources
- Pick the sample closest to your target role, not your current one.
- Compare your opening summary to the sample’s. If yours describes duties rather than results, rewrite it first.
- Check every bullet for a number, a scale or a named outcome.
- Update LinkedIn to match. Recruiters read the profile before the resume.
- If you want it done for you, book a strategy call. Resume and LinkedIn writing are included in every reverse recruiting engagement.
