Following your revamp of my LinkedIn and resume, I am getting chased down by recruiters left, right, and center, all of them waving HIGHLY ATTRACTIVE offers for increasingly high-level roles. This despite having just accepted a new role 6 months ago! I have been setting high opening bars for salary discussions and nobody has batted an eye.

I feel valued at my true worth and am being seen as an asset by these experts who specialize in high-level placements. Your work had a huge part of that.”

Every year, my most-read blog is the annual Executive Resume Trends report.
If you’re a job seeker wondering how resumes are shifting for 2026, this is the deep dive you need.

I invited leading resume writers, recruiters, and career strategists to share what’s actually happening in the market: what’s working, what’s fading, and what separates memorable resumes from forgettable ones. Their insights were candid and incredibly aligned.

A clear theme emerged.

Technology may support the writing process, but authenticity and clarity still win interviews. Hiring teams are asking for resumes that feel personal, specific, and results-focused.

Here’s a preview of what experts shared:

• Story-first resumes that blend narrative with data continue to outperform
• Skill stacking and hybrid fluency are becoming essential across industries
• Sustainable resume strategy now matters more than ever in longer searches
• One-page limits, ATS obsession, and AI-generated boilerplate are holding people back

If you want your resume to stand out in 2026, this expert-backed discussion will help you get there.

Before you update another bullet or chase another template, take ten minutes to read what industry leaders are advising for the year ahead. It could save you hours of guesswork and help you build a document that truly reflects your value.

The full breakdown is here in Executive Resume Trends for 2026: What Works and What to Retire https://lnkd.in/gv7VbcjX

Thank you again to every expert who contributed their insight. Your perspectives shape this report each year and help job seekers navigate the evolving landscape with confidence.

Executive Resume Trends for 2026: What Works and What to Retire - Career Impressions

I want to let you in on a little secret—actually, seven. 🤫 
I’m sure you’ve seen a lot of resume advice on the internet. “Do this…” “Don’t do that.” It can get confusing. Here’s the thing...

I’ve been writing resumes for nearly 20 years. Yes, that long. Over the years, a few fundamentals, best practices, and resume trends have held steady, making the difference between a good resume and a GREAT resume.
 
I’m sure you only want a great resume when the time comes to hand it over for a dream job.

You want the resume – and yourself – to be noticed, right?!
 
Here are my seven secrets to resume success.
 
What else would you add to the list?
 
#resume #resumewriting

7 Resume Secrets

Your resume may be all about you, but it isn’t meant for you. It is written for the person deciding whether to move you forward. Before adding any detail, pause and ask yourself 4 quick questions.👇 

1. Does every detail align with the job?

It is easy to list every course, certification, and project you have completed. The real test is whether the detail supports the role you want today.

Example: If you have several finance-focused courses but are pursuing a role outside of finance, those courses may not help the reader understand your fit.


2. Are all examples relevant to the role -- and are they results-rich?

You likely have many proud moments throughout your career. But if an example does not move the needle for the job you are targeting, it is better to remove it or replace it with something more aligned. Relevance keeps the reader focused on what matters most.

Additionally, tasks alone do not elevate a resume. Resume readers want measurable proof of your abilities, so focus on the results that show what you can do.


3. Are you spotlighting related work history or providing a career chronology?

A resume is not meant to be a full archive of your professional past. Older roles do not always need as much detail, or any mention at all. Positions outside your target industry also do not require heavy explanation.

Some exceptions exist, but the goal is the same: be strategic and selective.


3. Are language and keywords appropriate?

Industry language should support, not confuse. If you spent years in healthcare and are now targeting high-tech, soften the healthcare-heavy terms and shift toward keywords that reflect the new space. You want the reader to see you fitting into their world.


At the end of the day, write your resume for the reader. If a detail will not matter to the decision-maker, it risks distracting them and weakening your message.

Strong resumes are focused, relevant, and aligned to a clear target.

A senior leader told me recently, "I’m posting on LinkedIn every week, but nothing’s happening. No recruiters, no engagement, no leads."

If that sounds familiar, it’s usually one of two things:

1. Your content isn’t connecting with your audience.
You’re sharing updates, but they don't reflect your perspective, leadership, or results. People don’t just want to read what you do.  People here on the site want to know what and how you think. What makes you unique??

2. Your network isn’t working for you.
You need to foster connection and engagement. The algorithm rewards genuine conversation, not silent scrolling or passive likes. Don't just share. Comment and  engage! 

If visibility isn’t growing, it’s almost always one or both.
If I were to help you dig deeper, here’s what I’d ask:

* Who are you writing for: peers, recruiters, or potential employers?
* Are you commenting meaningfully on others’ posts each week?
* Do your posts show your industry knowledge?
* When someone visits your profile, do they see clear leadership positioning?
* Are you using your “About” section to tell your story or list your job history?
* Do you follow and engage with companies you’d actually like to work for?
* Have you reached out directly to new contacts after connecting

A few small tweaks in focus and tone (and profile content) can turn engagement into opportunity. I’ve seen executives go from invisible to in-demand by showing up with purpose and a personalized point of view (and ensuring their leadership story is clear on the profile). 

If someone said, “LinkedIn doesn’t work for me,” what would you tell them to do differently next week?

If you are trying to create great content for your resume -- tell a story. Address: Who, What, When, Where, How, and Why. 
Let’s walk through a simple example.

Imagine a past role where you were asked to improve employee engagement.
Most people would list a basic line like:
“Improved employee engagement.”

That statement is accurate, but it does not communicate the scope, context, or results. When you expand the details, your value becomes far clearer.

WHO was involved?
A team of 4 cross-functional internal staff.

WHAT was involved?
You directed the team to create and implement a national employee incentive and training program.

WHEN did this occur?
In 2021, while working as Operational Manager for Big Corp in Seattle, Washington.

WHERE did this happen?
Within a national organization supporting 32,000 employees.

HOW did it end?
The new program was built and launched in 5 months. Engagement increased 65% as a result.

WHY does this matter?
Because the details help a hiring leader quickly understand the scale of the work and the impact delivered. Focus on what your target reader needs to know...not everything must be shared. 

Once you gather these pieces, combine them into a single, high-impact resume statement. An example:

✔️ Increased employee engagement 65% by directing a team of 4 to create and launch a new national training and incentive program, which rolled out to 32,000 staff in just 5 months.

How to Tell a Story in Your Resume

A decade ago, if you’d told a board or executive recruiter you were considering a six-month C-suite contract, they might have raised an eyebrow. Executives were expected to stay the course: steady hands, deep roots, and long tenures.

But the landscape has changed.

Today, fractional and interim leadership is no longer a stopgap. It has become a strategy for both companies and executives.

Organizations can’t afford to sit still while searching for a permanent leader. Many CEO and C-suite searches still stretch multiple months. Investors do not wait that long. Markets do not pause.

Enter the fractional executive, a leader who steps in quickly, stabilizes operations, and delivers measurable results while the board conducts a longer search.

And here is what might surprise you most:
For many executives, this is not a temporary pivot. It is a career by design, one that offers variety, flexibility, and impact across multiple industries.

Fractional leaders thrive on speed and precision. They do not just “fill gaps.” They solve problems.

They bring an outsider’s lens, fresh thinking, and a results-driven approach that many organizations need right now.

Demand is rising, too. It is not hard to see why. In a climate defined by rapid change, experience-on-demand is invaluable.

Fractional work gives executives the chance to:
• Expand influence across multiple sectors
• Demonstrate agility in fast-moving environments
• Maintain momentum between roles
• Keep networks active and skills sharp

But it also brings new challenges: compressed timelines, evolving authority, and highly variable compensation models.

That is why positioning, branding, and clarity are everything.

If you have ever wondered whether fractional or interim leadership could be a strategic move rather than a stopgap, this is the time to explore it.

Fractional and Interim Executives: Why These Leadership Roles Are the Future of Executive Careers - Career Impressions

“How public should my job search be?”
A common question I get from executives is whether to quietly explore opportunities, or go public and announce they’re open to new roles.

From my experience, I see two sides: executives who stay too quiet can miss warm leads and recruiter visibility. And those who go public in the wrong way risk awkwardness or mixed perceptions. 

Yet, the reality is that visibility fuels opportunity... if managed with intention.

There’s no one-size-fits-all approach, but there should be strategy involved.

I’d love to hear your take: if you were exploring a new executive role, how open would you be about it publicly on LinkedIn?

1️⃣ Very open — I’d announce it and post about my goals
2️⃣ Somewhat open — I’d quietly signal and share
3️⃣ Private — I’d only tell trusted contacts
4️⃣ Depends — on my company, market, or timing (tell us more in the comments!).

I’ll share next week what tends to work best for executives at the Director-to-C-suite level and why visibility strategy is often a bigger factor than the resume itself.

If you were exploring a new executive role, how open would you be about it on LinkedIn?

The author can see how you vote. Learn more

Are your resume bullets pulling their weight?
Take a closer look. Are your statements:


==> Sharing basic details that anyone could claim?

==> Describing job duties instead of measurable results?

==> Missing quantifiable details that prove impact?

If you said yes to any of these, it’s time to elevate your content. Weak bullets report. Strong bullets reveal value.

Read each line of your resume and ask yourself:

“So what?”

==> Is this detail meaningful to the reader?

==> Does it show results or outcomes?

==> Is it specific enough to stand out?

==> Why is this worth including?

If you can add even a small, relevant detail that clarifies your impact, do it. Those subtle expansions—metrics, scope, or context—can transform a basic statement into one that commands attention.

The goal: value-enhanced bullets that sell your results, not just summarize your responsibilities. And if content isn't strong or related: remove it or improve it.

Check the comments for a free resource to help you refine your resume bullets and make every line count.
