Avoiding Irreparable Resume Mistakes

Avoiding Irreparable Resume Mistakes

Today I want to tell you about a client, “Greg.”

His current company, while a successful, mature business, is having trouble allocating resources to an offshoot they charged Greg to lead. It’s causing all sorts of problems on delivery execution and financial reporting.

On top of it, Greg is concerned about relational dynamics with the CEO, who is a 72 year old micromanager who refers to himself as “his majesty.”

His CEO is inflexible to new ways of approaching business since his mature business has been successful. The problem with this is:

(1) his team makes business decisions without the CEO fully aware, because he might make decisions that would kill the business and

(2) the mature business is declining, even though still profitable, which is why this new business is being launched.

The CEO is the bottleneck, and he has a restrictive company culture. It’s exhausting.

Despite his desire to find a corporate culture that fits, when Greg showed me his target company list they were not-so-nimble, established firms from the Fortune 500.

So we did more research together. After Googling Top 50 startups in Austin, we came up with a great list of companies. He wants to work for a flat organization where all voices are heard, where he can be mentored by upstart leaders and where he can be a mentor to others growing the business.

Next step is to create a resume that showcases his achievements in a relative manner so these upstart companies see he is the person to interview.

He wants to avoid resume language that will attract more tourniquet-restrictive cultures led by “your majesty” types… this isn’t his first employer like this. Greg wants to break the pattern.

He also wants to avoid mistakes that make him seem dated to these innovative firms—since he is coming from a mature company.

Challenging? Yes.

Impossible? Certainly not… but it IS easy to make damaging, irreparable mistakes on your resume. Especially if you don’t know which ones to avoid.
