your job search process, but

6. When you’re ready for
change, it’s tempting to take
action. But, without a clear
story, you can’t sell yourself
to others.
Take time to:
• Clarify your target
• Understand your
motivation
• Articulate your value
Without this piece, your
resume holds no value.

7. Identify the most relevant
and influential leaders you
know. Then network with a
plan.
• What information do you
need from others?
• What value do you have to
offer in return?
Without a plan, you’ll waste
valuable time and
experience minimal results.

8. In a competitive job market,
you can’t afford to “wing it.”
Your action plan:
• Gives you direction
• Holds you accountable
Decide which resources
you’ll leverage and how
you’ll do so. Then set
timeframes to ensure
completion.

Making an executive career transition
requires far more than a strong executive
resume.
You need a comprehensive marketing
strategy to achieve your goals and
accelerate your success.
