The reason someone hires a professional resume writer is for someone else to do the work, but more importantly, it’s to have a more professional format to get a better job. It’s about establishing a direction for your career search by using the most appropriate word choices and formats. It’s the difference between marketing what you want vs. where you’ve been. You don’t want your resume to be an obituary, you want it to be an exciting commercial that gets the attention of the decision maker!

Don’t just use any sample resume formats you can receive for free on a Google search. Let us look over your current resume and make some suggestions on a better format so you stand out from the crowd!

It’s All in the “Capital Investments”

To imagine and design your career, you must start by examining your job history – roles, responsibilities, assignments, projects and promotions you have experienced over time. By developing this snapshot of your career path you discover (confirm?) where you are today. Is your career advancing, holding steady or declining?

Do you know? How do you know? What are your goals? How do you set goals and measure success? You will find some of these answers by evaluating the investments you have made in your Career Capital, the cumulative value of your human, intellectual, social, and structural capital. Your career capital is the largest income-producing intangible asset you own.

Career Capital is the foundation of your career. Embracing the concept requires you to manage it as an investor, the same way you manage your wealth. More than just buzz words, understanding and leveraging your “Capital Investments” will make the difference in your success.

Human capital is the sum of your talents, education, accomplishments, skills, strengths, abilities, experience, personality, reputation, credentials and behavior as they relate to your career.

Intellectual capital is comprised of the ideas, improvements, inventions, insights, and innovations that you have created, developed and applied to add value for any company, product, or service that you own.

Social capital is that intangible, immeasurably valuable asset you gain by cultivating and working your network. Social Capital includes the relationships, trust, reputation and likeability that you have built along the way. Used and invested wisely, just as you would money, you may find the ROI surprisingly high.

Structural capital is the cumulative value of all the data, information, knowledge, ideas, know-how, show-how and wisdom you have that has propelled your career to date. In advancing your career – you need to put a dollar figure to that value.

Most individuals do best in the employment markets by finding what are referred to as ‘unadvertised’ openings, positions that are about to become available or positions that could be created. The rewards are great for the job hunter who can find these unique situations.

The Source will help in carefully developing options.

Leadership in the dynamic world of emerging ventures is the fundamental driver of market growth and success. The ability to recruit top leadership serves as the key organizational factor in achieving profitable performance and a competitive advantage. This is where the Source Search Group adds value!

Source Search Group (SSG) is a retained executive search consultancy focused on the recruitment of ‘impact leadership’ for emerging companies. SSG is experienced across the entire industry map, with deep understanding of its challenges and synergies.

Clients

SSG understands the challenges faced by emerging companies today, i.e. fierce competition, rapid growth and global expansion. SSG ensures that ‘impact leadership’ with the right skills, experience, qualifications and cultural fit are identified and matched for each client.

SSG believes in a high level of commitment and service to our clients. We describe that commitment as a strategic partner. Our commitment is not to be transaction based, but to bring long-term value to our clients as a business partner.

We are flexible in our fees; based upon the level of the position and the complexity of the assignment. In addition SSG offers an equity ownership program for a limited number of clients where we work for a combination of ‘cash & stock’, with focus on shareholder-driven outcomes.

Impact Leadership

Successful emerging companies achieve major breakthroughs with just a small percent of individuals who drive growth and results. These elite individuals we define as Impact Leadership. They are highly sought after and difficult to recruit because they are fully-engaged in delivering results for their companies and already operating at a high level of performance and achievement. Great companies dominate their markets because of them, and struggling companies flounder because they lack them.

We only recruit these executives and our results are based upon our ability to deliver these executives by transcending any obstacle. We never underestimate the challenge and urgency searches present, and consistently achieve results through tenacity, mutual trust and passion for our work.
