Having a wealth of experience to bring to NED positions is a clear advantage. However, it can make summarising the value you would offer extremely difficult. Application processes are competitive and time to put your case forward is limited. Here Juliet Taylor, CEO of non-executive recruiters Starfish Search, shares her advice on how to frame your experience when putting yourself forward for a NED role. She says, “When applying for non-executive directorships, only use 25% of your time to detail what you did in the past. Reserve the 75% to focus on the ‘so what?’. In other words, you need to give the most weight to explaining how you will apply your experience to the board and how you will add value.
