It's a monumental achievement! I am now one of only 39 Certified Executive Resume Masters worldwide 😁 This certification is incredibly challenging to attain, and I am bursting with pride at this significant milestone in my career. As the gold standard, the CERM from Career Directors International is only awarded to the best-of-the-best global executive resume writers and is the first credential designed to acknowledge excellence in executive resume writing. Applicants must possess a recognized resume certification to apply and qualify for the CERM. They must have written for the executive market for some time and have a body of work demonstrating mastery of contemporary executive representation, such as personal branding, positioning, and strategizing. The CERM is a rigorous two-part credential that demands a portfolio of real-life executive resumes and a competency exam. This exam covers a wide range of topics, from general knowledge of the executive market to a short sampling of writing “on the fly.” The on-the-fly writing component explicitly tests the ability to edit and construct compelling content that is concise and results-focused, showcasing the depth of expertise required for this certification. #ResumeWriting #ExecutiveJobSearch #Success

"I made it." That was the subject line of the first email I opened after being sick for a week. It was from a client I had worked with a few months ago letting me know that he credited my resume writing and LinkedIn optimization services with helping him move from a VP of Sales & Partnerships role to his first C-level role as Chief Revenue Officer! Results like this make my heart sing! #ResumeWriting#LinkedInOptimization #JobSearch #Success

Do you have regular 1:1's with yourself? Schedule 30 minutes with yourself bi-weekly and record your answers to the following questions each session: • What am I most proud 🌟 of doing in the last 2 weeks? • What skill or ability 💪🏼 did I use to make that moment happen? • What impact 🫱🏻🫲🏾 did this have on other people? This practice will allow you to focus on what's improving, clarify what you do well, and help you understand and articulate your personal value proposition. This exercise is for everyone. You'll benefit from it even if you are currently unemployed. Keep up the good work, and remember that investing in yourself is always worthwhile. #ProfessionalDevelopment #PersonalDevelopment #CareerCoaching

🌟 You are rare. In a world full of possibilities, it's easy to forget just how unique and valuable you are. This journey isn't just about finding a job—it's about discovering your true potential and embracing the exceptional qualities that only you possess. Your skills, experiences, and perspective make you one-of-a-kind. Every step you take, every challenge you overcome, is a testament to your resilience and strength. Remember, the right opportunity is out there, waiting for someone just like you. Believe in yourself, keep pushing forward, and never settle for less than you deserve. Your next job is closer than you think! #ResumeWriting #JobSearch #CareerCoaching #Success #Hiring

Regardless of your industry or seniority, 80% of your qualifications are the same as other qualified applicants. The other 20% is unique to you—your personality, your drive, your essence. The 80% is what recruiters and hiring managers expect. The 20% is why they hire you. That's why I use the Challenges, Actions, Results (CAR) resume format, a storytelling technique that brings your background and experience to life. Why? Because it markets the one thing nobody can ever duplicate—you! #ResumeWriting #Hiring #JobSearch #Success

Your past does not define your future but it certainly helps to shape it. For your job hunt to be optimal, it's time to go on a pursuit of self-exploration. As the months and years pass, it's easy to lose track of the big and little triumphs you've celebrated along the way. Take some time in a calm place to sit with your successes, ask yourself hard questions, recall detailed answers, and write them down. Before you can shift your mindset, it's essential to explore how nurturing your psyche can help you. Your psyche is the motivating force that comprises the foundation of your psychological structure. Some call it their soul. It's always been the 'who' of who you are innately, even if you've never defined it. Your psyche is your lifeblood, your substance, your most basic truth. It's the part of you that convinced your first boss to take a chance on you before you had any experience to show on a resume. Resume writing and your job search are about rediscovering and reanimating your psyche. Connect items of information from your past to reveal truths you had forgotten about yourself. Use those realizations to move toward a future filled with possibility. Once you know who you are, you'll be well-equipped to explore who you can become. #JobSearch #ResumeWriting #CareerCoaching #Hiring #Success

Many moons ago, I published a book called "RISE: A Feasible Guide for Job Seekers in COVID-19 & Beyond." I took the book off the market when I changed my name to Ivy, and now I offer the guide as part of my resume writing packages, updated and rebranded as "SHINE: A Comprehensive Job Search Guide." SHINE is a strategic tool encapsulating critical insights for leaders in the job market. It embodies a holistic approach to job searching, emphasizing strategy (S), highlighting leadership skills (H), impact through roles (I), networking (N), and cultivating executive presence (E). SHINE provides a framework for accessing the hidden job market, leveraging networks, keeping your LinkedIn profile optimized, customizing your resume for each role, and negotiating job offers. It encourages a proactive approach, steering away from solely relying on job boards and instead engaging in targeted networking and direct outreach to decision-makers. #JobSearch #Hiring #CareerCoaching
