A Premium Branded Career Portfolio is a board AND executive resumé along with a bio, and LinkedIn update. For reference, the classic Branded Career Portfolio is either a board OR executive resumé, bio, and LinkedIn update. You will receive two polished resumes, totalling four documents overall. If you are looking to both advancing your career in your operational role and prepare yourself for boardwork, a Premium Branded Career Portfolio is the package for you.

When can I purchase a Premium Branded Career Portfolio?
At any time. You can purchase this at sign-up by letting your membership consultant know that you want this option. You can also purchase it at any time in your View Plan & Upgrade page once you're logged into Athena. To purchase this on your own, you'll need to choose both the Branded Career Portfolio AND the Refocused Resume:
Together, they make up the Premium Branded Career Portfolio.
You can also email [email protected] or start a conversation in the gold chat icon in the bottom of your screen and we will be happy to send you an invoice or assist you in your purchase.
I purchased a Premium Branded Career Portfolio, now what?
Once you purchase a Premium BCP, our team will be notified and you will get a confirmation within one to two days. If you have any questions you can reach out to our MSM team via the chat box at the bottom right corner of your screen or [email protected].
Which resume do I start first - board or executive?
Both. When completing your worksheet, you should fill it out with both objectives in mind. Once you hand in your worksheet, you'll be assigned a writer who will conduct a consultation to discuss, clarify questions, ask deeper questions, etc. to ensure she understands your objectives. All documents will be completed at the same time so you will have both in hand easily.
What should the bio and LinkedIn alignment be for - board or executive?
The bio should be for your most pressing and number one goal. You can discuss this with your writer through consultations. Boardwork almost always necessitates a strong board bio, so this might be a more beneficial use of your documents. The LinkedIn alignment will include both objectives since you can only have one LinkedIn.
How long does it take to complete a Premium BCP?
The Premium BCP takes no longer than the classic BCP. The length of time you take to fill out the Worksheet is up to you, but we recommend no more than 6 weeks. Once you hand in your Worksheet, there is a 25 day period (including multiple revisions) until you have your completed documents.
I have already purchased a Branded Career Portfolio and now want to add another Resume, how do I do that?
You can add a Refocused Resume to your plan at any time in your membership. To do so, simply scroll to your View Plan & Upgrade page once you're logged into Athena. Select 'Refocused Resume' and add to cart. Our team will confirm the purchase and will let you know next steps.
Steps after adding the Refocused Resume to your plan
If you have already met with the team for an initial Branded Career Portfolio consultation: No need to meet for another consultation. When completing the Worksheet, simply indicate BOTH objectives of the documents (board & executive) and complete it as usual. When you hand in your Worksheet, you'll be assigned a writer who will conduct a consultation to discuss, clarify questions, ask deeper questions, etc. to ensure she understands your objectives.
If you have not yet met with the team for an initial consultation: When scheduling your appointment, select the "Premium Branded Career Portfolio" appointment type. This will indicate your objectives to the team. During the call, feel free to ask questions, gather understanding and continue with the above steps.
