IT Manager Resumes That Prove You Get The Job Done
As a hands-on technical professional, your IT resume focused to a large extent on technologies, tools, and solving technical challenges. That made sense.
Your career has advanced. You've changed.
Your resume needs to change, too.
Your IT manager resumes needs prove that you're a leader
Earlier in your career, you were primarily focused on using your hard technical skills. Your IT resume, of course, reflected that.
Now, though, your IT Manager resume needs to demonstrate that you're a leader who leverages much more than just technical chops to add value to the enterprise. You need to demonstrate team leadership, coaching, mentorship, the ability to work with business stakeholders...
Of course, that doesn't mean that your IT Manager resume has no technology details—far from it. But that technology expertise and detail has to be effectively balanced to demonstrate that you're no longer a developer or a network engineer—and finding that balance can be extremely challenging.
Where most IT manager resumes fall short
Far too often, the IT Manager resume focuses almost exclusively on technology—with little to no discussion of critical business leadership. There's very little, either visually or in terms of content, that looks different from a developer or engineer resume.
But without business value, the hiring authority will have no real way to know what you can deliver—or whether you're really qualified for a leadership role.
How I can help craft your best possible IT manager resume
That's where I come in. It takes experience and skill in strategic IT resume writing to craft an IT Manager resume that strikes absolutely the right balance between technology and leadership.
I've written (possibly) more IT manager resumes than anyone else in the world—for clients with widely differing careers, strengths, and current and future career objectives.
That experience—combined with my unique, highly personalized process—enables me to ask the right questions, to dig deeper into your career, and to help unearth the real value that you've delivered—to craft the best possible IT Manager resume to help you reach your goals.
My IT resume writing process
I believe that the most effective way for me to write your IT manager resume is for us to talk directly and in depth. That's why I never ask you to fill out endless, 20-page questionnaires or worksheet.
I've been interviewing IT leaders about their careers for more that 15 years—so I know the questions to ask to get "under the hood" of your career—and determine what you've done, what you've accomplished, and what makes you stand out.
Then you can sit back for a couple of weeks while I work, and I'll deliver a final or near-final version of your IT manager resume. More details on my IT resume writing process can be found here.
LinkedIn profiles for IT pros and tech career coaching
But we won't stop there. The majority of my clients realize the importance of LinkedIn profile optimization, so when we've finalized your IT manager resume, I'll get started on your LinkedIn. The LinkedIn profile has largely replaced the old cover letter to convey a sense of who you are as a professional—so I take that as my focus in crafting a keyword-optimized LinkedIn profile.
I also include tech career coaching for IT leaders to navigate job searches in my gold and platinum packages at no cost. I provide the best tools possible for my clients in their job search—and I'm committed to helping my clients use those tools to the best advantage.
I'm always transparent about cost; I don't play sales games. The investment for my IT leadership resume and executive coaching packages runs from $1097-$1897. My full pricing can be found here.
I believe that it's critical that we both feel that working together will be a good match, so I provide a free, 30-minute consultation to determine if working together makes sense.
