Does Your Resume Capture Your Value?

Philippa, Irene and the Arielle team have done an amazing job. The whole process was smooth, efficient and very professional. Philippa is an active listener, has deep understanding of the situation and is adept at turning a 'brain dump' of information into a cohesive, effective and attractive value proposition. She's easy to talk to, empathic and asks the right questions, which helped me to get a better view of the next in my career. And the result is outstanding!I highly recommend the Arielle team and will use them again in the future.

In 2020, my world changed when COVID-19 struck; I found myself out of work and transitioning from being a self-employed consultant to wanting to be a part of a team again. I applied for roles throughout 2020 and had no success (granted, it was the pandemic, and the world had stopped).  During this time, I decided that I would engage Arielle in the hope of crafting my career story to date and package it up into something potential employers would understand and ultimately want to interview me.  But that was just the beginning. I got so much more; working with Arielle, my story and confidence grew, as did potential employers' interest.  The career meditation takes time and thought to get done, but it was very worth it as once you come to have your consultation with one of the team members, they have already begun drafting my story.  This made the phone consultation a great experience as I started to see and hear all my work experience coming together into a cohesive personal brand for myself.  Having my story and my brand and a greater awareness of roles I could apply for, I can clearly see a career pathway for myself.Fast-forward to 2022. I was at a juncture to move roles, and it was a no-brainer to use Arielle again for my updated resume, LinkedIn profile, and rebrand. This time around, I was applying for higher-level roles, and I was able to achieve this goal with the help again from the Arielle team. Finally, in 2024, I will be updating my resume, cover letter, and LinkedIn again to ensure my brand is current and ready for the next opportunity.

I recently had the pleasure of working with Arielle Executive for the second time, and once again, they exceeded my expectations. My first engagement was in 2019 and I was pleased to be able to work with the same team nearly 5 years later.Phillipa's expertise and dedication to her craft were evident from the very beginning. She took the time to understand my career goals, experiences, and unique strengths, ensuring that every aspect of my personal brand was accurately and compellingly represented. Her insightful questions and thoughtful feedback helped to uncover and highlight aspects of my professional journey that I hadn't previously considered, adding significant value to my resume.One of the standout aspects of working with Phillipa was her ability to translate my experiences into a powerful narrative that truly set me apart. She has an exceptional talent for crafting resumes that are not only visually appealing but also rich in content, making my qualifications and achievements shine. The final product was a polished, professional resume that immediately had an increase in engagement and helped me secure my next role.Having used Arielle Executive's services twice now, I can confidently say that they consistently deliver outstanding results.

When I first engaged Arielle Executive I wasn't sure where I wanted to take my career. From my first contact with MD, Irene McConnell, I was filled with confidence in their approach. Irene discussed their range of services and the process for each stage and patiently answered my long list of questions. I opted for the Business Package, which included brand discovery coaching, full resume, LinkedIn profile, cover letter and elevator pitch. Though initially I wasn't sure where I wanted to land career-wise, I found the pre-coaching career mediation very useful to reflect on my achievements, skills, and likes and dislikes about previous roles. My Branding Consultant, Leanne Elliot, was just brilliant. She delved deep with good questions to draw out things I hadn't consciously considered, and led me through a narrative development exercise to help identify the path I wanted to take, and ultimately, to build my brand. The result was a concise, yet compelling narrative threaded throughout the final collateral, and a strong professional brand I am excited about. The first position I applied for secured an interview (my first in many years), and I was the successful candidate. I can't recommend Arielle enough to any leader or executive seeking clarity and a strong brand to take the next step in their career. The investment is worth every cent. In terms of time investment, your effort and engagement in the process will determine the end result, so I recommend trusting the process and going deep! Thank you to Leanne for your patience and guidance, and to Irene and her great team!

I was recommended Arielle when I saw an opportunity to move to a new industry. Philippa helped me with a complete brand refresh uncovering the transferable skills that I didn’t realise I had. Not only did this give me confidence but also helped me secure a new role. The key is the personal touch and the deep level of understanding of your career journey and ambitions. AI really can’t replicate this

My first interaction with Arielle Executive was in 2019. I’d noticed my colleague’s LinkedIn profile really jumped off the page to me; we were at the same company in a similar level and role and I wondered how he’d created such a descriptive and catchy explanation of his experiences - his answer was Arielle Executive. From the first introduction, my experience has been exceptional. The team is prompt, professional and on top of every detail and question that comes to mind.Working with Arielle Executive transcends mere deliverables; my experience working with my consultant, Philippa, has given me a boost in confidence by having an an expert who could review and discuss my myriad life, work, and educational experiences and reflect this back to me in a refined and elevated manner - in a way that I simply wouldn’t be able to do alone. My brand positioning and updated CV lets me put my best foot forward and allows my work and accomplishments to speak for themselves through the written word.Arielle Executive is a key part of my career toolkit, and a relationship I will continue to invest in as I progress professionally.

Value for money? Unconditional "yes". The professionalism, attention to detail, timeliness of feedback and the final quality of the consultancy and information supplied stand out in the crowded market of employment consultancies. They do so, by creating a professional "This is ME" picture" rather than just offering an SEO service for a job search.The initial "invest" will most likely show a significant RoI in my new, next role.Apart from just and wholeheartedly thanking the whole team at AeX, my special thanks go out to Philippa, who has been throughout the process -and still remains- a beacon of support, customer service -in ultimate professional competence-.Marc von Briel

Arielle Executive exceeded my expectations by more than 100%. They specialize in the industry, and the value they provide is spectacular. Irene and Philippa are incredibly knowledgeable and experienced. The initial consultation call with Irene lasted almost an hour, during which she patiently listened to me and provided thorough guidance on my next career steps. Philippa, with her friendly and professional expertise, conducted three phenomenal career strategy sessions. Together, we identified the skills to showcase for my next career move. Philippa also helped me leverage my personal and professional skills to enhance my CV, cover letter, and LinkedIn profile. I highly recommend them, and for me, Philippa is the go-to person for any future career needs. Arielle Executive understands individuals' capabilities and delivers excellent value for money. Thank you Irene and Philippa :)

Frequently Asked Questions.

Focusing exclusively on the needs of senior leaders helps us be at the top of our game. As a guide, we only work with business leaders who have held senior leadership positions such as CXO, GM, Director, Senior Manager, Head Of, VP and SVP. If you're not quite at this level, we'll be happy to refer you to trusted resume writers in the space. Don't hesitate to enquire.
We offer a high-touch executive branding service, and our fees reflect this level of attention, with prices starting at $2,500. While our pricing structure is very simple, we don't disclose it on the website due to the boutique nature of the service. Please book in an obligation-free, no pressure strategy call to find out more.
Yes, we work with senior leaders globally. Most of our clients are based in Australia, Europe, Singapore, the Middle East and North America.
After careful consideration, we decided that the popular CPRW and CMRW resume writing certifications weren’t adequate, and created an internal certification instead. We made this decision after receiving dozens of enquiries from people whose CPRW and CMRW writer-written CVs failed to produce results. Employers expect your resume to tell a story of your career, which is why we built a proprietary, brand-centred ExecutiveExcellence™ technology for executive resume writing. Team members become certified in it after undergoing 12 months of training. To ensure that our approach remains cutting-edge, we regularly attend HR and recruitment conferences and closely follow workplace trends on leading business blogs like Bloomberg, WSJ and QZ.
Yes. We have the highest number of 5-star Google reviews among all executive resume writers. Clients also consistently send us feedback via email, which you can read here.
Your privacy is paramount to us. We've thrived for 13 years in part due to our ability to be discrete, understand sensitive situations and preserve confidentiality. We have been trusted by CEOs of publicly listed multinationals, senior government ministers and leaders of global PE firms. Your information stays within the confines of our small team.
Your resume will be written using Microsoft Word and will not be password protected, which means you will be able to amend it in the future.
Our (intentionally small) executive resume writing team comprises of senior HR professionals, executive recruiters, talent acquisition leads and organisational psychologists. All have worked on the other side of the table, partnering with C-suite clients and offering advice on their talent decisions. They understand business drivers and the markers for executive success and can communicate them through your career marketing documents.
Our research indicates that 13-34 candidates apply for every executive-level job. Of those, about 4-6 progress to the interview stage. Of those, only 1 lands the job. You may be frustrated if you’re one of the 12-33 who always gets overlooked. But we’re here to tell you that it may not be you - it may be your resume.
Arielle Executive specialises in writing branded resumes that help senior business leaders secure interviews with ASX 100 companies in Australia, Fortune 500 companies in the USA, as well as with prestigious international search firms such as Spencer Stuart and Korn Ferry. We are not a resume mill with a shopping bag of pre-written templates.
