Five Board Resume Mistakes you Might be Making | Ep. 112

Your board resume is a strategic marketing document, not a professional autobiography. In this episode, we dive into the common mistake of overloading your resume with information. Many Board hopefuls try to include everything, thinking it will impress. Instead, it overwhelms the reader and buries your key information.

We’ll explore this mistake and others:

• Seeing Your Resume as a Comprehensive Professional Autobiography
• Talking about what you do in your professional or Board role rather than your key achievements or key contributions
• Using the wrong language
• Not addressing the required information

This episode delves into the critical errors that can derail your Board application. I provide actionable strategies and examples to help you avoid these pitfalls and craft a compelling Board Resume that effectively showcases your unique Board value proposition. Learn to target your resume for the specific Board you’re interested in, grab the reader’s attention, and land an interview.
