Description
This package is for executives who don’t just want to apply, they want to land the offer. It includes everything from the Application Portfolio Package including the resume, LinkedIn, cover letter, personal brand strategy, job search system and goes even deeper by preparing you to market and sell yourself effectively in interviews.
Chris works with you 1:1 to define your value, position your story, and build a strategy that not only gets you in the door, but helps you stand out once you’re there.
Together, you’ll develop your pitch, refine your answers to common questions like “Tell me about yourself,” and build powerful STAR-based stories that prove your value across the eight to ten core categories hiring managers care about such as leadership, problem-solving, communication, conflict, team-building, results, and more.
By the end of this program, you’ll have the brand, materials, and strategic interview skills to position yourself as the obvious choice and the confidence to close the deal when it counts.

What’s Included
1. Job Search Clarity Assessment
Before we touch your resume, we go deep on defining your job search direction. Using personality and strengths-based tools, market analysis, and your own background, we will help you get clear on your ideal roles, industries, titles, and value proposition, ensuring your search is grounded in alignment and opportunity. This process includes a detailed feedback assessment based on Chris’s background as a former executive recruiter, paired with real-time market trends.
2. Executive Resume Development
This is not a copy-editing exercise. We will start with a blank slate and build a brand-new resume from scratch based on the roles you’re targeting. We conduct a full audit of job descriptions, analyze recurring keywords, skills, and responsibilities, and map out how to strategically position your experience.
The result is a resume that is visually modern, deeply strategic, ATS-optimized, and built to position you as the obvious choice.
3. Executive Bio
4. LinkedIn Profile Revamp & Optimization
We completely rewrite and optimize your LinkedIn profile, aligning it with your resume, brand, and target market. We incorporate the right keywords, update your headline and summary, and advise on groups, connections, and profile strategy. Most clients see a 2–3x increase in profile visits within 3 weeks.
Chris will also walk you through exactly how to use LinkedIn to generate leads, build new connections, get referrals, and position yourself as a visible, high-value candidate.
5. Cover Letter Template
6. Job Search Tracker & AI Tool
This private job search portal acts as your personal job discovery engine. It pulls opportunities from 60+ job boards every two hours based on your background, compensation goals, and target roles, including LinkedIn, Glassdoor, Monster, and more.
Beyond finding jobs, the portal helps you act on them. It surfaces direct contact info for hiring managers, generates personalized outreach messages, and helps tailor your cover letter for each opportunity. This tool saves hours of time and boosts your chances of getting a response by helping you take consistent, high-quality action.
7. Networking, Recruiter & Headhunter Strategy
We will create a tailored outreach strategy for engaging with recruiters, executive search firms, and hiring managers. Chris personally spends 4–6 hours identifying the top 25–35 firms aligned with your industry, level, and location, so you can get your materials in front of the right people.
You’ll also receive messaging templates and learn how to build relationships that lead to introductions, not just applications.
8. Executive Interview Strategy & Narrative Building
We don’t just prep you to answer questions, we build your narrative from the ground up.
- You’ll develop a clear executive pitch, tell-me-about-yourself answer, and bridge statements to connect your story to the company’s goals.
- We craft messaging that frames transitions, career pivots, gaps, or exits with confidence and executive control.
- You’ll be coached on how to handle curveballs, disqualifying language, and trap questions, the ones that quietly eliminate candidates.
By the end, you’ll walk into every interview with the clarity, presence, and framing that makes people say: “They get it.”
9. Behavioral Story Architecture: Your Interview Story Bank
Interview success doesn’t come from off-the-cuff answers. It comes from preparation.
- We identify the 8–10 core categories of behavioral questions you’ll face based on your function and the roles you’re targeting: things like leadership, conflict resolution, stakeholder influence, failure, execution under pressure, or team building.
- Together, we’ll create 2–3 STAR stories per theme, written and refined for clarity and impact.
- Each story is tied to a strategic takeaway, so you’re not just answering questions, you’re showcasing leadership, pattern recognition, and executive thinking.
This gives you a powerful, ready-to-deploy story library you can pull from at any stage.
10. Mock Interviews, Simulation & Strategy Playbooks
Preparation isn’t just about theory, it’s about simulation.
- For the first key interviews, Chris builds a custom 5–10 page interview playbook with insights on the company, the stakeholders, the questions you’ll likely face, and how to respond strategically.
- You’ll receive recommendations on how to position yourself to match the company’s needs, including what questions to ask, how to challenge thoughtfully, and how to own the close.
- Then, you’ll rehearse live. These mock sessions are interactive, paced like real interviews, and followed by immediate feedback and correction.
Whether it’s with a recruiter, the hiring manager, a panel, or a founder, we’ll simulate it.
11. Offer Conversion & Interview Follow-Through
You’re not just being evaluated, you’re also evaluating.
- You’ll learn how to navigate conversations that lead to offers, not just callbacks.
- You’ll be coached on how to ask sharp, strategic questions that demonstrate executive thinking and uncover what’s really behind the hiring decision.
- You’ll receive guidance on email follow-up, post-interview communication, and how to re-engage if you’ve been ghosted.
We train you not just to perform but to drive the interview forward.
12. 1:1 Live Coaching Sessions
This program includes as many live sessions as needed to complete every major deliverable and prepare for key interviews. Typically, we need 9–12 sessions. On average, we spend the first two weeks building your resume, LinkedIn, and cover letter. From week three onward, we shift into job search execution, including your strategy, networking plans, and recruiter outreach.
Once interview invitations begin, we walk through the first 2–3 real interviews together, prepping, practicing, and reviewing until you’re confident and in control.
Not Sure Which Package Is Right For You?
Every executive’s search is different. If you’re not sure where to begin, start with a consultation and we’ll walk through your goals, timeline, and the best path forward.
