Account Executive resume example
The AE resume is a track record. Consistency across years is more persuasive than one exceptional quarter.
What we would lead with
- Attainment for each of the last three years
- Segment and deal size, so the reader can judge transferability
- Named logos closed, where you are allowed to say
The mistake we would warn you about
Showing only the best year. A reader assumes the omitted years were bad, and they are usually right.
