Shamelessly posting for traffic.

I'm updating my CV. One of the lines I'd like to put is "Skilled professional dedicated to making the lives of bust executives easier".

Thing is, I've never worked for an executive so can't use that word. I've worked for a managing director and previously, consultants (medical).

Can I put executives anyway? I know you should shape the CV to the job advert the best you can, and highlight what they're looking for. Most roles I'm going for are for supporting the executive(s).

What could I put?

Thanks a bunch Thanks

A managing director is an executive, surely?

I think you can put executives. You are talking about what you can and will do - in the present tense - not what you have done. I would have thought a managing director counts as an executive anyway?

Yes, they're really just the same thing

Agree it's fine.

I also agree it's fine.

Definitely fine. Executive is not a term that has a strict, universally accepted definition. In fact, I think that if you looked it up in a dictionary, you would find that a managing director absolutely is an executive.

Can I just ask, won't it look odd?

Saying before I start my work history that I've supported executives, yet only mentioning managing directors and medical consultants?

The word executive can't be put instead of Managing Director on my CV, can it?

For example, changing 'PA to Managing Directors' to 'PA to Executives'

It won't add up when a reference comes back. My old employer won't put the word executive
