Here’s what you can expect from this episode:

If you've been applying for Customer Success leadership roles and your resume isn't getting you in front of the right people, there's a good chance you're missing some really important details. Because when a company is hiring a CS leader, whether that's a Manager, Director, or VP of Customer Success, they're looking for a lot more than just your ability to manage a team.

In this episode, I'm walking you through the six things my team and I look for when rewriting resumes for CS leaders. We'll cover how to show the scope of what you've led, the numbers your team hit, and what you've built that will keep working after you leave. We'll also get into how to showcase your impact on retention, expansion revenue, hiring, and the systems and processes you've put in place.

I'll also share real resume bullet point examples so you can see exactly what this looks like in practice, plus how to prioritize different accomplishments depending on whether you're going after a Manager, Director, or VP role. And even if you're not applying for leadership roles right now, this is going to give you a really good idea of what you need on your resume when you're ready to make that next move.

If you want to figure out what's missing from your resume, make sure you're highlighting the right accomplishments, and give yourself a better shot at landing interviews for CS leadership roles, hit play and let's dive in.
