Crafting a resume for a senior level is not an easy task to do. Your CV should persuade the hiring manager. Your CV should inform and deliver your past achievements and success. You should highlight key skills that align with your target job.

Basically, the focus shift from education and responsibilities to achievements.

 

Remember while writing your CV to tell the truth and never use the same CV twice.

I found these interesting Tips to apply for a senior level

1. Showcase your credentials at the top especially the ones that match your target position, to the very top of your resume. 

2. Provide a link to your online profile as many of the employers check your social media before setting an interview

3. List your  skills near the top and make sure you’re choosing skills that are related with the position you’re applying for. Take a look at the job description, and customize your resume accordingly. 

4. Put your Selected Achievements section at the top If you’re a senior-level professional, you likely have a list of accomplishments to choose from.

5. Focus on your most recent work experience. point out your current or most recent job, including details that will show the recruiter what your role entails and what type of company it is. 

6. Quantify your achievements. On a resume, numbers can speak.This is especially important as a senior-level professional. Instead of leading with a vague statement, be specific.

7. Use a two-page resume length. Two pages is a great for resume length that will allow you to showcase your work history and, more importantly, your accomplishments.

8. Include only your past 15 years of experience. At this point in your career, you’ve built up quite the history of companies, positions, and responsibilities. Don't indicate your first experiences, just focus on the recent ones.

9. Move your education to the end of your resume. For a senior level resume,it’s important to focus on your achievements and not education. Move your education details to the end of the resume, with the exception of any advanced degrees.
