Stand Out Where It Counts
In the executive search landscape, qualifications get you considered. Positioning gets you chosen.
Sore Thumb helps leaders articulate value with clarity, confidence, and strategic intent across resumes, LinkedIn profiles, and every point of professional visibility.
Launching a Modern Executive Job Search
A successful search begins with more than a resume. It begins with a narrative that connects achievements to the needs of the next employer.
While many services promise polish, Sore Thumb goes further. Every document is designed to frame leadership trajectory, align with career goals, and resonate with decision-makers.
LinkedIn: It’s Not Just a Profile, It’s a Signal
Your LinkedIn presence is more than a digital resume. It’s a credibility checkpoint.
87% of recruiters use LinkedIn to identify candidates [Source: finanacesonline.com].
40 million users apply for jobs on the platform weekly [Source: thesocialsheperd.com].

Key LinkedIn Profile Enhancements:
✓ Keep your profile current and aligned with your resume
✓ Highlight the last 10 years of high-impact leadership
✓ Craft a summary that conveys not just what you do, but how you think
A well-positioned profile works on your behalf, even when you are not actively looking.
The Power of Executive Branding
Executive branding is more than presentation. It is reputation, intentionally shaped. It signals leadership style, strategic strengths, and future value.
Sore Thumb embeds branding into every element of the application suite—resume, cover letter, and digital presence. The result is a unified narrative that distinguishes you from equally qualified peers.
The Anatomy of a High-Impact Executive Resume
A resume is not a biography. It is positioning. It should help the reader imagine your leadership in their context.
Sore Thumb emphasizes:
✓ Narrative flow: showing the story behind the titles
✓ Achievements in context: highlighting not just what you did, but why it mattered
✓ Leadership presence: demonstrating how you influence, mobilize, and lead
A strong resume does more than inform. It engages.
Showcasing Your Commitment to Growth
The most valued executives are learners as well as leaders.
Resumes should reflect ongoing development—strategic courses, board readiness, certifications, and training that signal adaptability and foresight.
This shows you are not only qualified for today’s role. You are prepared for what comes next.
