Business management jobs are always coveted positions in the corporate world. After putting in your time as an entry or mid-level executive, you’ll naturally want to consider advancing into a management job.

Securing an executive job will further your career as well as offer a substantial salary boost. Your main challenge is likely finding openings for management positions and impressing the company’s executives enough during the interview to get the job.

  1. Locate executive job listings. You can find most business management positions with the help of a headhunter. Also, use various online resources to see available jobs in business management.
  2. Apply for business management jobs. Update your resume and showcase your past business manager jobs and experience.
  3. Ace the interviewing process in order to secure the most elusive jobs in management. You’ll likely find the competition for business management positions very fierce. Hone your interviewing skills before meeting with a top company executive.


Action Steps
The best contacts and resources to help you get it done

Find jobs in business management


You are not likely to find too many management employment listings in your local newspaper's classified section. Team up with a headhunter to browse through the management jobs currently available.

I recommend: Register with a headhunting company online in order to receive executive job listings quickly. An online headhunting company will also allow you to post your resume online and make it searchable for executive seeking businesses. If you rather not go through a headhunter, go on a site that deals exclusively with posting business management positions.  

Apply for business management jobs


If you have not updated your resume in a long time, now is the time to do so. Provide the details about any management experience or skills that you possess.

I recommend: You can send your resume virtually from several different management job listing sites. It is much more efficient to apply online for management jobs instead of the traditional method of faxing your resume. Online applications are less likely to get lost in the shuffle and you can keep a virtual record to see the management positions that you applied for.

Practice for an executive level interview


When you are secure in a mid-level position, you may not have gone through the interviewing process in a long time. Once a company informs you of the date of your scheduled interview, spend some time preparing to ensure that you have a shot at landing the management job.

I recommend: Use online career advice sites to help you get through the executive level interviewing process. Find a site that holds virtual interviews or gives you a list of possible questions to expect when interviewing for management employment.

Tips & Tactics
Helpful advice for making the most of this Guide

  • You should expect that the management job hiring process to last much longer than your past interviews. You'll likely attend two interviews or more before securing the position.
