An executive CV is the type of resume used by individuals applying for high-level management positions in companies and organizations. These individuals include directors, Company Presidents and Chief Executive Officers. Unlike ordinary resumes, the executive CV is more detailed. A standard executive CV is usually 2 pages long. However, it is common to find one that is three pages long. However, this depends on the individual’s experience. Instead of a career objective, executives include statements that best describe their expertise and skills. To illustrate the executive CV format, here is a sample.
