Why Do Most Executive Resumes Fail?

A typical resume – even one that's written by an executive resume writer – is rarely more than a flyer that contains surface-level aspects of your career. Your competencies. Your tenure. Your achievements. A shot at articulating your value and communicating your career story. While these features are important, they fail to position you as a superior candidate in 2022 – especially at the executive level.

What Does A Bespoke Resume By Arielle Executive Do For You?

As a targeted marketing document, it positions you as a leader who understands the commercial realities of senior business decision-makers – and who can solve their strategic problems. The result? You're seen as a candidate of choice - and a strong fit.

Leaders Love Our Executive Resumes.

"Arielle recently did a makeover of my resume, cover letter and LinkedIn profile. The results were simply amazing! I have since taken on a very exciting assignment and am very grateful for the fantastic result, which was in no small part as due to the work done with the Arielle team. Would I use them again? Absolutely!"

"Irene and her team were a pleasure to deal with. They helped me with professional career documents and advice that I have no doubt will help me stand out from the crowd. Irene was professional, interested and thorough. I would have no hesitation whatsoever in recommending Irene and her team at Arielle."

Frequently Asked Questions:

Solving problems of a strictly defined clientele allows us to be highly effective at what we do. As a guide, we only work with business leaders who have held titles such as GM, Director, CXO, Head Of, Regional Manager and National Manager.
Of course. Our sister brand, Exceptional Resume Writers, should be your next port of call.
Yes. All of our executive resume writing services are delivered via phone and email - including to our Sydney- and Melbourne-based clients. This means we can provide you with a second-to-none, professionally written CV - even if you’re based elsewhere in Australia or overseas.
There are two main resume writer certifications - CPRW (Certified Professional Resume Writer) and CMRW (Certified Master Resume Writer). After careful consideration, and after receiving a number of enquiries from people whose CPRW and CMRW-style resumes failed to produce results in the job market, we decided that these certifications weren’t adequate for senior business leaders applying for top positions. Instead of adhering to standards that we believe to be substandard, we've developed and refined our own proprietary ExecutiveExcellence™ branding technology, which enables us to write executive resumes that consistently outperform the competition. To ensure that our technology does not become antiquated, we regularly attend talent conferences and invitation-only events for senior HR professionals, in addition to publishing our own research and advice on respected blogs in the talent acquisition/recruitment/HR space.
Yes. We have the highest number of 5-star Google reviews among all executive resume writers in Australia. We also consistently receive feedback via email, which you can read here.
We regularly provide executive resume writing services to high-profile executives of publicly listed Australian companies, senior government officials and leaders of well-known international unicorn startups, which means we understand the importance of discretion and privacy. Your information will never travel beyond our small, tightly knit and discrete team.
Your executive resume will be written using Microsoft Word and not be password protected, which means you will be able to amend it yourself in the future.
With some effort, you could definitely improve your resume without paying for the services of an executive resume writer. If that’s a path you’d like to take, start by following one of the many guides that we’ve published on the subject of resume writing. However, just as we couldn’t do your job after a few hours of training, it would be unrealistic for the resume that you create to have the same level of impact as the documents we create for our clients.
The Arielle Executive CV and resume writing team is comprised of blue-chip executive recruiters, talent acquisition leads, organisational psychologists and HR managers. All have been on the other side of the table, partnering with c-suite clients and offering advice on their talent decisions. As a result, they understand business drivers and the markers for executive success and can communicate them through your personal marketing collateral. This ensures that your resume strikes the right chords and speaks directly to the needs and realities of recruiters and hiring managers.
Resume writing companies operate in three tiers. No-frills operators (also known as resume mills) charge between $70 and $500 - mainly to add basic formatting and structural improvements. Work is typically done by offshore workers; your resume receives approximately 30 minutes of their attention. Mid-tier companies are often CPRW and/or CMRW certified -and charge between $500 and $2000 for a standalone resume. You can expect your achievements to be front-loaded and for your profile to say reasonably meaningful about who you are. Despite these improvements, your resume will look and feel generic; promises to provide you with a clear value proposition and a unique point of difference will go unfulfilled. Finally, Arielle Executive is a bespoke branding firm that is in a class of its own. Our executive resumes give you an unfair advantage in the market - and our executive resume writing fees reflect this level of performance, starting above $3,500. Each Arielle Executive resume is a marketing machine that's built on top of a targeted brand strategy and is a result of 20+ hours of work by a team of high-calibre branding, recruitment, marketing and copywriting professionals.
There is some disagreement on this topic. Our view is that you're a brand that competes for attention in a saturated job market. As such, you can expect to be more successful if your resume effectively communicates your value to potential employers. Unfortunately, most people are quite terrible at selling themselves on paper in a succinct, commercially relevant and precise manner. This is why we believe that a great executive resume writer is worth the investment. By the way, we've also written a comprehensive guide that explains what to look for in a resume writer.
There's a resume service that's a fit for every individual and every budget. We, for example, specialise in crafting bespoke resumes for executives, which makes us the best choice for senior business leaders. If you're a mid-tier professional, we suggest that you look for an Australian mid-market resume writing company like Exceptional Resume Writers. If your career is important to you, we recommend that you stay away from low-end resume services and DIY online resume builders.
Broadly, each resume should include the following five sections: Contact Info, Profile, Professional Experience, Education, and Skills. However, these may need to be altered to meet the requirements of certain industries and seniority levels.
No two jobs are exactly alike. For example, a typical career move for a CFO is into a CFO, a COO or a CEO position. Clearly, these roles have different requirements, which means the resume needs to highlight different aspects of a candidate's career history. The consultant in charge of your branding process will advise you the best strategy; you may need to either sharpen your focus or have a different resume for each type of role that you're targeting.
We have three locations. Our Sydney office is located at Suite 55, Level 24, Three International Towers, 300 Barangaroo Avenue, Sydney, NSW. Our Melbourne office is located at Suite 60, Level 9, 440 Collins St, Melbourne VIC, 3000. Our New York office is located at 833 Broadway, 2nd Floor, New York NY, 10003. All visits are by appointment only.
You must be in the middle of an unexpected career transition, or looking for a provider that can help you support your transitioning executives. We can help - here's why our executive outplacement services are different.

To Philippa,Thank you, THANK YOU... for your hard work with the complex problem I presented you with.As you are aware, 15 years since I was last in the meat-grinder that is the open job market (yikes)...it seemed so much easier back then. You have managed to consolidate an atypical career path, a tome of experience...in less than a hand full of pages that will always be on top of the pile.An amazing skill.While the proof is still in the pudding, I am armed with a fantastic set of documents extolling amazing capabilities (...I had no idea). More importantly, you have also armed me with the resources to dip my toe into the chummed waters of career progression, with a huge amount of confidence.Thank you again... I have no doubt I will be in touch with good news soon.

I found Arielle Executive on the internet and found their offering compelling. I have not been disappointed. After a comprehensive interview with one of their experienced team members - I had a much better understanding of my value proposition. This value proposition was then reflected in my resume. LinkedIn profile and Bio. Each of these documents nailed what I stand for and covered clearly my professional career. I highly recommend Arielle to anyone who wants to stand out from the crowd.

The team at Arielle were very professional but also personable. They made it easy to share my story, then help me recreate my new personal brand. It's easy to lose sight of what you are good at. The Arielle team helped me to refocus my attention on those key points in my search for a new career.I would highly recommend anyone who is looking to crystalize their personal story in their quest for a new career to reach out to the Arielle team.
