executive-resume-writer — Claude Code skill: overview & setup
Formats senior leadership resumes around business metrics, P&L ownership, and M&A deals instead of routine task lists. Useful for executive recruiters and board searches.
npx claude-code-templates@latest --skill career/executive-resume-writerWhat executive-resume-writer does
The skill structures CVs specifically for C-suite officers, vice presidents, and directors with 15 or more years of background. Rather than indexing everyday tasks or targeting automated applicant filters, it directs focus toward enterprise transformation. Each bullet pairs managerial action with strategic programs and measurable corporate outcomes.
The layout includes an executive profile, core leadership competencies, upfront career highlights, and board advisory roles. Length targets remain flexible: two pages for VP profiles and two to three pages for C-suite roles. If your background lacks measurable financial gains, EBITDA shifts, or governance responsibilities, this structure exposes those gaps immediately.
What it helps with
- reframe senior career history around revenue scale and EBITDA impact
- highlight governance roles and advisory board appointments
- structure career achievements before chronological employment history
- condense lengthy executive backgrounds into two or three pages
Example prompts for the agent
- Draft a two-page COO resume focusing on P&L management, enterprise scaling, and M&A integration.
- Turn my career history into an executive summary highlighting IPO preparation and international expansion.
- Create a career highlights section using metrics from our multi-geography corporate turnaround.
