Author / Content Text	THE best thing about "P.O.R.T." is that it helps you to communicate complete sets of information, one project or one thought at a time. When Sam, my longtime friend, asked me to help him to find another career opportunity, I was delighted that he respected me enough as a professional recruiter to seek my help. You see, in addition to being my friend, Sam was an Information Systems Manager whom I greatly admired and respected. From what I'd learned about him during the previous years of our friendship, I had come to greatly admire Sam's professional accomplishments in Information Technology. However, when I began to review his resume, I was astonished at some of the major assignments and responsibilities he had failed to put in his resume. After a brief conversation with him, I soon discovered that Sam didn't leave those things out because he didn't think they were important, he left them out because he had simply forgotten them! (3 Second Survey: Can you right now list the best projects that you worked on over the past 10 years?) I reminded Sam that the resume is first and foremost a marketing tool designed to introduce your most dominant skills to prospective employers who may need them. But how can you share with those prospective employers what you can't readily recall? With Sam's situation in mind I created a little resume inventory methodology called "P.O.R.T." I intentionally named it "P.O.R.T." because it was designed to help Information Technology professionals to "port" their skills from one employer/environment to another. Short Steps to Strong Success 1. Take inventory of what you have accomplished. Make sure that you take a good inventory of things that you've enjoyed doing in the past – your favorite things. This will help to do two things: A. by including a lot of your positive work, it will help to energize your resume B. because you were successful in the work you select and because it was something that you enjoyed, it will improve your chances of success in your next opportunity 2. Organize your accomplishments into a resume – a marketing tool to market YOU. Your resume is a marketing tool designed to let companies know who you are and what you can do to help improve their company. If you've done something exciting in your profession - tell them about it! Now, with the "P.O.R.T." concept properly filled out, you will be able to specifically and confidently introduce yourself and your best work to prospective employees. If you'd like the MS Word form which accompanies the P.O.R.T. concept, either email me at Linkedin@MyLinkedinPowerForum.com or stop by "My Linkedin Power Forum" and introduce yourself. Once there, please feel free to download the form.
