Executive LinkedIn Profile

A board resume and a board bio for director and advisory searches: governance, committee work and the judgement calls a nominating committee reads for.

Interview Coaching

“I would hire myself! I felt my resume was outdated and uninteresting despite my vast experience of 25yrs in my career. Khaqan transformed it into an inspiring and honestly energizing document. It is quite something to almost see yourself in another's words, it boosts confidence and eliminates any morsel of imposter syndrome. … I love my resume. And I absolutely 100% recommend your services.”

ATS-Optimized Resume writing services

Beat the Bots

Get More Interviews with an ATS-Ready Executive Resume

97.4% of Fortune 500 companies use an Applicant Tracking System (ATS) to screen resumes, and search firms and corporate recruiters run keyword searches of their own before anyone reads a page. We engineer every line, keyword and layout so your executive resume and LinkedIn profile come up for the same titles and competencies, and the person who searches sees you first.

ATS-Optimized Layouts

Clean, executive-level formats that parse in every applicant tracking system and search-firm database without giving up the presence a board expects.

Keyword-Enriched Content

The titles and competencies executive recruiters search for, P&L ownership, transformation, M&A integration and board governance among them, placed where the software and the reader both find them.

★★★★★

“My resume had not been updated in ages (it didn’t even have my current job on it), and the thought of doing it myself was exhausting. I was so happy to connect with Khaqan at Elite Resume, because he took all of the burden from me and within a couple of days had provided me with a fresh resume, cover letter, and LinkedIn profile that are far better than anything I could have even imagined. He was very collaborative and responsive throughout the process, and I have already happily recommended him to a number of friends. Thanks again, Khaqan!”

★★★★★

“Khaqan, I wanted to take a moment to express my sincere gratitude for your incredible support in updating my resume, cover letter, and social profiles. It’s been a long time since I needed these materials, and your guidance made the entire process clear and stress-free. Your expertise and attention to detail were evident throughout, and I truly appreciate the help you provided—not only during the process but also afterwards. Thanks to your efforts, I feel confident and well-prepared for the next steps in my career. I highly recommend your services to anyone looking for professional, reliable, and thoughtful assistance. Thank you again for everything!”

“After 20 years of not having to write a resume, it is certainly a task to get acquainted with the times and technology that is associated with a job search. Having Khaquan fine tune my resume, cover letter and LinkedIn was certainly a great investment.”

“I had a great experience working with Khaqan. He took the time to really understand my background and career goals, and helped reposition my experience in a way that felt clear, confident, and aligned with where I want to go next. The resume and cover letter were well thought out, polished, and tailored — not generic at all. I’d highly recommend him to anyone looking to level up their job search.”

Executive Resume, Executive Bio and LinkedIn Profile: Which One Does Each Reader Want?

Three readers, three documents, one story, and the most common mistake we fix is a bio that contradicts the resume.

The introduction

Executive Bio

The paragraph that introduces you before anyone reads a page.

Length150 to 300 words, a short and a long version, written in the third person
What goes inCurrent role and scope, signature results, board and community roles, credentials, and one line on who you are outside work
Who asks for itCompany and board websites, conference and speaker profiles, press, investor and partner introductions
What we writeMatched to the resume on every title and date, in your voice
The document of record

Executive Resume

The document a search firm, a recruiter and a board actually decide on.

LengthTwo pages, three for a long C-suite record
What goes inA header with target title, an executive summary that states scope, career highlights, each role with its scope and results, board work, executive education and designations. No photo, no age
Who asks for itSearch firms, corporate recruiters, boards and hiring committees
What we writeATS-ready, in Canadian format, with the numbers that prove the scope
The search result

LinkedIn Profile

What a recruiter reads before deciding whether to call.

LengthA headline, an About section and experience entries, written in the first person
What goes inThe titles and competencies recruiters search, the same scope and wins as the resume, skills ordered for search, recommendations
Who asks for itRecruiters and search consultants searching before they call, and everyone who looks you up after they do
What we writeA profile that says the same thing as the resume, so nothing contradicts

Not sure which reader you are writing for? Send us the posting, the search firm’s request or the introduction you were asked for, and we will tell you, no charge.

Leading a hospital, a faculty or a research institute? Those competitions ask for a full CV, and we write that too.

Every Situation

Executive Resumes We Write

Once you know who is reading, pick your situation. We write all eight, in the format that reader expects.

The step where responsibilities stop counting and scope starts. We rebuild every role around the size of what you ran and the results you delivered.

Scope LineP&L OwnershipLeadership Story

Vice-President to C-Suite

Enterprise scope, board reporting and the transformations you led, written for the search firms that run C-suite mandates.

Board and Advisory Roles

A board resume and a board bio that lead with committee experience, oversight and the value you bring to a boardroom rather than an org chart.

The Craft

What Goes Into an Executive Resume That Gets Read

Whichever role you are chasing, our executive resume writers build it the same way: the structure below, the Canadian conventions we write to, and none of the mistakes that get a leadership resume set aside. It is how our executive resume writing service works in every province.

What each part of your executive resume has to do

  1. 01

    The Header and Executive Summary

    Name, target title and contact details, then four lines that state what you run, at what scale, and the result you are known for. No photo, no date of birth.

  2. 02

    The Career Highlights

    Three to five quantified wins before the reader reaches the first job title, because a search consultant decides in the top third of page one.

  3. 03

    The Experience

    Each role opens with a scope line, company size, budget, team and geographies, then results with numbers, most recent first, the last 15 years in detail.

  4. 04

    The Board, Education and Credentials

    Board and advisory roles, executive education, an MBA or ICD.D and your designations, in the order a nominating committee scans.

The Canadian executive resume conventions we write to

2-3 pg

Two pages, three for a long record

Two pages for most directors and vice-presidents. Three for a C-suite record with board work and transformations to show.

Scope

Scope before results

A 40% figure means nothing without the base. Every role states the size of what you ran before it states what you did with it.

No

No photo, no personal details

Canadian norms: no photo, no age, no marital status, no nationality, no references on the page.

15 yrs

The last 15 years in detail

Most recent role first, dates aligned. Earlier roles in one line each, so the reader stays on the roles that matter.

ATS

Screened before it is read

Parsed by a corporate ATS or a search-firm database and keyword-searched before a person opens it.

PDF

Sent as a PDF

The file format Canadian recruiters prefer, with a Word copy for the portals that ask.

Cdn

Canadian spelling and titles

Colour, centre, licence, and the titles Canadian search consultants type into LinkedIn.

Tone

Confident, not boastful

Direct claims backed by figures, written in your voice, in the same words your bio and profile use.

The mistakes your executive resume will not make

The mistakeWhat we seeWhat yours does
1

The duty list at director level

Responsibilities copied from a job description, with $40M of scope nowhere on the page.
Yours opens every role with the scope and ends it on a result.
2

The career history

Six pages and every role since 1998, all at the same weight.
Yours runs two to three pages, with the last 15 years in detail.
3

The missing scope

A 40% growth figure with no revenue, headcount or base behind it.
Yours attaches the size of the business to every number.
4

The mismatch

LinkedIn says Vice-President, the resume says Director and the bio says neither.
Yours says the same thing on every page, because we write all three.
Whatever role you are chasing, your executive resume leads with the evidence that reader is looking for.

Moving up?

Your resume needs repositioning, not lengthening.

The document that got you to director will not get you to the C-suite on its own. We rebuild it around scope and results and keep everything that makes you the stronger candidate.

What comes out
  • The objective statement and the duty lists
  • Early-career detail that no longer earns its space
  • The photo, the age and the references on the page
  • Pages four, five and six
What goes in
  • A target title that matches the next role, not the last one
  • A scope line for every role: revenue, budget, headcount, geographies
  • Career highlights a search consultant can scan in seconds
  • Board and advisory work, executive education and designations
What stays
  • Your voice, and the judgement calls you made
  • The numbers behind those calls, with their base
  • The same story across your resume, bio and LinkedIn profile
  • Confidential handling of every document

Whether you call it an executive resume or a leadership resume, the answer is the same document: two to three pages, Canadian format, built for the role in front of you.

FAQ

Executive Resume Writing Service
 Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about our executive resume writing service

In Canada, the executive resume services that rank alongside us charge roughly $990 to $2,900 for the resume alone, with LinkedIn and a bio pushing the total higher. Our executive resume writing starts at $99 with the Essential package, and the Elite package ($199) adds the cover letter and the LinkedIn profile recruiters check before they call. The difference is not the writer, it is the overhead: we are a writer-led studio, not an agency with a sales team, and every package carries the 60-day interview guarantee. Compare the three on our packages and prices page.
If your resume still lists responsibilities, runs past three pages or has not changed since your last promotion, usually yes. Senior roles are few and each one draws serious competition, and the recruiter, the search firm and the board each read for something specific: scope, results and a story that holds together across your resume, bio and LinkedIn profile. A writer who has sat on the hiring side builds that in a week. Every package includes unlimited revisions for two weeks and the 60-day interview guarantee, so the risk sits with us, not with you.
The one who has hired at your level, writes the document personally rather than passing it to a content team, shows you what changed and why, and carries the risk if it does not work. Ask any writer those four questions before you pay. At Elite Resume Writer your executive resume is written by a small team led by founder Khaqan Chaudhry, who has sat on the hiring side of the desk, and it comes with a full refund and a free rewrite if you do not land an interview within 60 days.
A header with your name, target title, city, phone, email and LinkedIn URL; an executive summary that states what you run, at what scale, and the result you are known for; three to five career highlights; each role with a scope line (company size, budget, team, geographies) followed by results with numbers; board and advisory roles; then education, executive education and designations such as an MBA, an ICD.D or a professional licence. No photo, no date of birth and no references on the page.
Two pages for most directors and vice-presidents, and three for a C-suite record with a long list of board work or transformations. Recruiters and search consultants decide in the top third of page one, so the length matters less than what sits there: your summary and your career highlights. Roles older than 15 years get one line each.
Reverse chronological, with an executive summary and career highlights above the experience. Two to three pages, a clean single-column layout with no tables, text boxes or graphics that scramble in an applicant tracking system, Canadian spelling and titles, delivered as a PDF with a Word copy for portals. A functional resume that hides dates reads as a warning sign at this level.
Shorter and more specific than they were five years ago. A scope line under every title, results with figures attached, a career highlights section a search consultant can scan in seconds, no photo, and a LinkedIn profile that says the same thing. Canadian recruiters now check the profile before they call, so a resume that contradicts it costs you the call.
The idea that a recruiter decides in about seven seconds whether to keep reading. At the executive level that first scan lands on your name, your target title, your summary and your career highlights, so those four elements carry the decision. We build the top third of page one to survive the scan, and the rest of the document to reward the reader who keeps going.
The resume is the document of record: two to three pages, built for search firms, recruiters and boards. The bio is the introduction: 150 to 300 words in the third person for your company page, board profile, speaker introduction or press release. We write both, and we match them on every title and date so nothing contradicts. The executive bio is available as an add-on to any package; see the Professional Bio.
Yes. Recruiters and search consultants search LinkedIn by title and skill before they call anyone, so we write your headline, About section and experience entries to come up for the searches that matter and to say the same thing as your resume. The Elite package includes the profile with your resume and cover letter; the details are on our LinkedIn optimization page.
Yes. A board resume leads with governance, committee experience and the judgement calls a nominating committee reads for, and a board bio introduces you to the rest of the board in a paragraph. Both are written under the same packages as an executive resume; tell us it is for a board search when you order.
It can draft one, and recruiters can tell. AI writes fluent generalities because it does not know your scope, your numbers or which of your results the next board will care about, and it cannot ask. Our writers interview you for exactly those details, then write the document a search consultant expects, and we format it for the systems that screen it, including the AI tools recruiters now use.
Yes. Your documents are handled in confidence and never published; the samples on this site are anonymized. For LinkedIn, we deliver the new profile with a short guide to updating it in stages and turning off the setting that broadcasts edits to your network, so nothing looks unusual to your current employer. Call 647-470-9163 if you want to talk it through before you order.
An executive resume, for every corporate, public sector and board role. The exception is a leadership role in a university, hospital or research institute, which usually asks for the full CV of publications, appointments and grants. We write that too; see our CV writing service.
Yes. We write executive resumes for leaders in every province and territory, from Vancouver to St. John’s, entirely by phone, email and video. Your first draft arrives within 2 to 3 business days of your consultation, with a 24-hour rush available when a search firm or a board is waiting. Call 647-470-9163 to get started.
