Marketing your Professional Portfolio

In the past there were only a few items available for you to promote yourself to potential employers (resume, cover letter etc.). Now employers have the ability to search the internet for much more information about you in your social networking sites. Consolidating all this information into one location, you create a professional portfolio. Since employers are going to search for you on the web anyway, you should control the information being presented by creating your portfolio. With a single web link that has consolidated all your personal and professional information, you will have a distinct advantage over other candidates who only submit a resume.

Business Cards:

One of the simplest ways to market yourself in your job search is through the contacts you make every day. Carry your resume in your pocket in the form a a business card that contains your personal web address. Let contacts easily share your portfolio with others that may have connections to open positions. You most likely don’t carry your resume with you but it would be very easy to hand out a business card to the people you meet every day with your personal URL to your Professional Portfolio.

Email Signatures:

Extend your marketing reach my including your personal portfolio web address on your e-mail and blogging signitures. How many emails do you send during the course of a day, week or month? By including your Professional Portfolio URL in your email signature, you can reach many other potential contacts and employers.

Everyone on the team worked hard and it has paid off. I want to thank everyone for their efforts meeting our tight schedule.
