Board Resumes are NOT Repurposed Executive Resumes
Sandra Allison
A board of directors resume repositions you from being an executive who delivers results to a board member who understands the significance of those results.
Boards are searching for strategic business leaders with proven experience relating to their specific operational and financial goals. A board of directors resume repositions you from being an executive who delivers results to a board member who understands the significance of those results.
Change your thinking and language from Executive to Board speak, from “doing” to “guiding.”
Define and build on your unique value proposition, concentrating on your Governance, rather than Managerial expertise.
What strengths do you have that are not already in the room?
Match your skills to your target board. If you don’t have proven experience in those qualities, the Board is probably not a good fit.
Position yourself as a strong leader and collaborator, emphasizing the skills and successes that you are uniquely qualified to bring to the target company.
