As we continue our discussion on remaking your executive resume, we take a close look at one of my favorite topics - personal branding.
In an intense, competitive job market, it is essential that you differentiate yourself from the competition and build an exciting expectation for the reader - right from the beginner.
A strong personal brand and personal brand statement helps you to do that very effectively. Think about your professional reputation, your unique attributes, and the consistent theme that is evident in your career achievements.
All those pieces come together to build your executive branding statement and if it is missing from your current resume, you are selling yourself short. Take a look at the following branding statements used by executive jobseekers.

SENIOR MANUFACTURING EXECUTIVE
Engaging cutting-edge technologies to advance corporate-wide initiatives, expedite manufacturing processes, and achieve aggressive revenue / cost objectives
SENIOR OPERATIONS EXECUTIVE
Start-Up, Emerging & High-Growth Companies
The Profit Builder: Systematically improving internal systems, strengthening operational proceses, and mobilizing vital resources that propel companies into stable, profitable entities
