The Working Portfolio
Categories: Guide, Job Market | January 8th, 2009 | by Administrator | one comments
Treat yourself as a product you are selling which is actually what you’re doing, selling a product. In advertising, this can be achieved by preparing a good portfolio that allows you to show what you’ve accomplished and how skilled you are at your field of expertise. Think creative and think how you can sum up yourself on a piece of paper, like a brochure selling a pricey car. Anything related to your career can be included and as said your imagination’s the limit.
In between, you can include your information that is standard amongst resume’s. That way, you let your work speak for you and don’t forget to mention your accomplishments by stating them in your resume, such as successful campaigns and other helpful information such as special projects with volunteer groups and more. With the right combination of skill and know how, you’ll surely get a good job with your target firm in no time.
