Ideally before your job interviews start, you should get things in order to present yourself in the right way to attract more opportunities:

• Create an executive resume that showcases your personal brand and other good-fit qualities for the employers you’re targeting.
• Build an online presence that promotes your good-fit qualities, and will make you visible and findable to executive recruiters and other hiring professionals.

But don’t do either of these things before you work on:

• Targeting specific employers
• Researching what specific things you can help them with
• Defining your personal brand around the specific things that make you a good hiring choice.

These things help you create a resume and LinkedIn profile that will differentiate you and resonate with the employers you want to work for.

You’ll note that being specific is paramount.

If you’re not specific in every way possible, you’re likely to be part of the sea of sameness that most executive candidates fall into.
