C.5.5 Executive Positions
In this section, we discuss the advantages and disadvantages of finding an executive position
online. Executive career advancement sites usually include many of the features found
on comprehensive job-search sites. Searching for an executive position online differs from
finding an entry-level position online. The Internet allows individuals to continually survey
the job market. However, candidates for executive-level positions must exercise a higher
level of caution when determining who is able to view their resume. Applying for an executive
position online is an extensive process. As a result of the high level of scrutiny passed
on a candidate during the hiring process, the initial criteria presented by an executive level
candidate often are more specific than the criteria presented by the first-time job seeker. Executive
positions often are difficult to fill, due to the high demands and large amount of experience
required for the jobs.
SixFigureJobs (www.sixfigurejobs.com) is a recruitment site designed for
experienced executives. Resume posting and job searching is free to job seekers. Other
sites, including www.execunet.com, Monster.com’s ChiefMonster
(www.chiefmonster.com) and www.nationjob.com are designed for helping
executives find positions.
