Board resumes are not repurposed executive resumes.
A CEO’s greatest fear is having a Board Director who doesn’t know how to share guidance without trying to operate and lead.
Studies show that Board Nomination & Governance Committees have found very few resume writers understand the differences between writing executive and board branding packages.
There are big differences between the two. Your board resume should build a story by matching your background with the needs of the board. What examples can you include that show that you understand how to assess and address the company’s plans/strategy?
In this webinar, we are going to talk about those strategies.
- Creating and building a unique value proposition
- Indicating that your client understands the difference between oversight and management
- Changing resume language from “doing” to “guiding”
- Forgetting those pesky ATS robots and optimizing your layout for a dynamic presentation
You’ll learn how to position your client to:
- Demonstrate that they are prepared for board service
- Articulate an objective view on a subjective topic
- Present concise and relevant achievements and details
- Show their ability to apply critical thought, creative problem solving, and lateral thinking skills

Secrets to Optimize Your Resume and Prevent Age Discrimination
In this episode you’ll learn how to optimize career opportunities after 60 with resume tips and hacks that beat the ATS systems and prevent age discrimination.
From a diverse career spanning coding to interior design, HR management, and gaming for decades as the “Eldergoddess,” Sandra Allison smashes every age-related stereotype. At 71, Sandra has a booming resume writing business, a result from being fired at 58 and running headfirst into ageism.
Sandra quickly realized her resume was defeating her efforts at finding a job, so she dove into the world of resume writing, took training courses, earned certificates, and launched her resume services business. Today she helps folks 40+ beat the ATS systems so they can avoid age discrimination and get the job opportunities they deserve. Her services include resumes for Board Candidates, C-Suite and Rising Executives, and an Á La Carte Menu for a variety of roles!
Throughout our conversation you’ll learn invaluable tips from Sandra on navigating modern job markets, crafting a resume that stands out, combatting ageism, and how to optimize career opportunities against biases.
You’ll love hearing Sandra’s passion for gaming, and how it defies generational gaps, adding a unique twist to perception versus reality. And I’m still howling over her rebellious spirit story when, at the age of 6, she led a dozen neighborhood kids around Center City, Harrisburg on their tricycles.
