In a fast-paced world where career opportunities can appear and disappear in the blink of an eye, being unprepared can cost you dearly. Imagine receiving a call from a headhunter about an exciting executive role at a leading company. You feel an adrenaline rush. But then it hits you—your CV hasn’t been updated in years, and you have no ready-made, professional personal branding materials. Suddenly, instead of seizing the opportunity, you’re scrambling to piece together your career story, risking missing out on your dream job.
This scenario is all too common among executives, and it highlights a critical problem: even the most experienced professionals often underestimate the roll of having a well-crafted personal branding kit at their fingertips.
When Opportunities Knock, Be Ready to Answer
Our client, an accomplished legal professional, recently faced a similar situation. After 17.5 years of dedicated service at a globally recognized organization, Wärtsilä, he received an unexpected call from a headhunter regarding a promising role at Oy Snellman Ab in Finland. Thankfully, he didn’t have to panic or start from scratch.
Why? Because a few years earlier, he had taken the crucial step of investing in a professionally written CV and personal branding kit. When the headhunter reached out, he had a ready-to-go, polished CV that effectively showcased his achievements, skills, and potential.
In his words:
“With the CV that you made some years ago for me, and ‘freshened up’ two years ago for an application to Keliber Oy in Finland – I got a new job at Oy Snellman in Pietarsaari, Finland. The fact that I had a good CV ready in the files when the headhunter called made all the difference. Thank you!”
This testimonial underscores a key point: when opportunities arise, preparedness is everything. The competition for executive roles is fierce, and first impressions matter more than ever. Without a compelling CV and personal branding materials, even the most qualified candidates can find themselves overlooked.
