Interim Profiles differ from CV Resumes in the sense that the profile should capture, succinctly in one page key quantifiable unique selling points
You know an interim profile has a few seconds to attract and retain attention - it will only sell you if it is convincing and credible. Write explicity, yet succinctly, and demonstrate how your area of expertise, skills and key results are the best fit.
What are the Secrets of Successful Interim Management Profiles?
What gives one interim profile 10 times more pull than another? Here are tips to differentiate you and create a shortcut to the interim assignment you deserve:
- design a unique, professional, easy to navigate one-page format
- write a brief Summary to reflect your career and value proposition
- avoid a skills section; rather, place skills in context to inspire confidence
- do not list responsibilities; instead, articulate salient points and results
- substantiate what you say with specific examples of measurable results
- show-case how your skill-sets have met the needs of current market conditions
- demonstrate how your knowledge will be an invaluable benefit
- make implicit within the writing a positive, influential `can do´ approach
A combination of the above is the key to a top notch interim management profile that will sell you, make you a logical choice, make you a preferred candidate and accelerate your next interim role
