C-Level leaders like CEOs, CFOs and CIOs don't get their jobs by answering published job ads very often. They have other ways to get a job! Anyone can do what they do. You just have to be willing to break some dusty old job-search rules! Learn how to write your Human-Voiced Resume and Pain Letters and stop replying to jobs once and for all!
1. How to Land Your C-Level Job
How do CEOs, CFOs and other
C-Level leaders get new jobs?
Senior-level leaders don’t get
hired through published job ads
very often.
That’s not how most senior-
level positions get filled.
2. So how does it work?
• C-Level leaders are heads of corporate
or institutional functions like IT, HR,
Finance, Marketing or Sales.
• At the senior level in any organization,
the personality and point of view of a
prospective C-level leader are just as
important as the job-seeker’s work
experience (and maybe more so)!
• The fit between the organization, its
leadership team and the prospective
C-level team member has to be right –
otherwise no one will be happy!
3. If I’m not applying to posted job ads,
what am I doing instead?
C-level job seekers do these
five things when they job
hunt:
4. 1. They don’t apply to published job
ads
They don’t respond
to posted job ads.
That’s a terrible way
for anyone to
approach a
company, and it’s an
especially bad way
for C-level leader to
introduce him- or
herself.
5. 2. They choose their next direction
and brand themselves for it
Instead of answering job
ads, C-level job-seekers
decide what they want to
do next, fairly specifically,
and then brand
themselves for the jobs
they want (and not just any
job)!
That way recruiters can
easily find them.
6. 3. They consult during their job
search
C-level job seekers are also
consultants. They carry a
consulting business card.
That’s one of the principal ways
they get hired! Consulting jobs
turn into full-time jobs every day.
Consulting during your job search
gives you more latitude, more and
better ‘keyholes’ for conversation
and more negotiating leverage!
7. 4. They network constantly
C-level job seekers network
with old and new contacts
continuously.
They choose organizations
to research and to follow
and then they pay close
attention.
They may end up knowing
more about the organization
than some of its own
leaders do!
8. 5. They grow their thought leadership
flame
C-level job-seekers
grow their thought
leadership flame and
raise their profile by
blogging, speaking
and sharing what they
know.
9. What’s my thought leadership flame?
• Your thought leadership flame is your
unique point of view. As a C-level
leader, you know more than just the
“how-tos” of your profession.
• You have a personal spin on it – a set
of beliefs about the way your function
should be led.
• You’ll share those beliefs in blog
posts, articles, podcasts, webinars,
videos and public presentations.
• Every time you share your point of
view with other people, your thought
leadership flame grows!
