Tips for Interim Management CVs

See our sample successful CV.

• Do start with a summary profile of yourself. Avoid waffling.
• Do emphasise your specialist area and how many years of experience you have in executive management positions, normally 10+ years.
• Do summarise in a paragraph your successful outcomes. What are you famous for?
• Focus on your main functional experience and what you have to offer to clients – which may not be the same as your next step on the corporate career ladder.
• Keep it simple and easy to read.
• Maximum four pages.
• No colour text or background.
• No photos.
• No large attachments.
• Avoid a jack-of-all-trades approach. These get deleted very quickly.
• Include facts and figures on budgets, staff numbers, achievements and responsibilities.
• Remember that a good interim management CV is not the same as a corporate career CV.
