Every Estate Manager needs a résumé that reflects the level of work they do. It should be a clear, accurate representation of operational responsibility, leadership, and professionalism. Get it right, and you’re more likely to connect with roles that suit you. Get it wrong, and you may end up in the wrong job or be ignored by agencies all together.
We put together a guide that walks you through the basics of the modern resume. Each section explains what to include, what to leave out, and shows you how to format your information in a way that supports recruiter and principal review. It covers résumé vs CV, chronological vs functional layout, how to write a strong summary, what to say in your experience section, and how to present skills, certifications, and references clearly.
If you’re preparing to submit to an agency, work with a recruiter, or respond directly to a principal or chief of staff, this guide gives you the framework to do that professionally. You can use it to refresh your documents, check your structure, or rebuild your résumé from the ground up. Doing the work to get this right will lead to better interviews, stronger alignment with open roles, and a résumé that positions you at the level you’re ready for.
