"Having
a portfolio has been very beneficial in my job search. Potential
employers who have viewed it have commented on its professional
presentation, and I believe it has been a key factor in showcasing
my talent at an executive level. As a matter of fact,
I have two interviews next week that were a direct result of
my web portfolio. Thanks for a job well done!”
- Wayne M., CPA, California
"I
found the career portfolio to be an exceptionally powerful
support to my job search. In the end I think it
was a differentiator with the other candidates and helped
me win my new position."
- Jeff S., Client
“Your work definitely gave me an extra
edge. People were impressed. Conversations were
definitely more informed. I think this does help tremendously.”
- Tony B.,
Sr. VP
“I use my portfolio all the time, instead
of my soft copy resume. I also use it when individuals
inquire about the work I do. This is a fantastic
tool, and I have gotten tons of compliments because
of it.”
- G. Fisher., VP
"Colleagues and clients confirmed what I thought to
be true. My recently-completed portfolio tells my professional
story well, creates high-level of interest, and will be a differentiator
in the marketplace.
In just a few short-weeks, I have used it as a door
opener to get in front of decision makers at new
accounts, as part of an application to teach at a local university,
and in support of a board advisory role with a high-growth stage
internet company.
There are reasons Career Virtual provides an excellent product.
Senior level professionals engage immediately to understand
your needs, requirements, and goals. They follow an interactive
process which requires you to take stock, commit to clear objectives,
and detail your accomplishments. The end-result for you, like
me, will be a highly professional, well-written, and interesting
presentation of your professional career that will open doors!
Career Virtual's portfolio is a great investment!"

“A headhunter
emailed me to say that he had been given my name by several
contacts in Atlanta and wanted to talk with me. I answered
his email with my portfolio address. When I went to the interview,
he stated that he had shared it with others in the office
and thought that it was unique. I was offered
a position...”
- Carla O., MPA, Missouri
"I think it went well...
I met with the Director first, I had the chance to give him
the portfolio. When we met later in the day, he mentioned
that he was impressed. He said this is clearly
a differentiator."
- Richard M., Pennsylvania
“It’s brought out
who I am, what I am, and what I want to do. It’s all
about confidence; I’m very glad I did this. The
web portfolio is very professional and powerful.
I had no idea I would have something like this.”
- Jerry M., Client
"I'd like to thank
you and your staff for your efforts putting together my web
profile. I can't tell you how impressed I am with
it, it looks fantastic! It was also extremely
helpful to me to see it on the screen like a prospective employer
would, larger than life. It made me really sit back and think
about my career objectives and what parts of my professional
experience I need to highlight to get the HR Director job
I want."
- Paula M., Client
“As I am working with
the (web portfolio) tool I became extremely excited
about my search, because I feel comfortable
using it in my networking efforts. In fact it has drawn many
favorable responses. It helps me in demonstrating how I can
contribute and add value to organizations in ways that cannot
be accomplished in a simple resume. Also, I can envision how
the tool can be used in interview situations, as well as in
post employment announcements.
Although still in the early stages using the portfolio I have
realized:
..
• The portfolio can eliminate the first stage of interviewing,
(the first interview), automatically placing me
in the second interview with the hiring decision makers.
..
• Presidents and CEOs, recruiters, and others have provided
input that proves the theory of the tool.
..
• I believe this product is the next wave of technology
in the industry.
..
• A solid business case can be made to job seekers of
the value of the web portfolio.
..
No doubt this portfolio has launched my campaign
to a new level especially in the networking
area.”
- Don
I., IT & Financial Executive, Florida.
“I have used it mainly as a tool
to help me subtly sell myself and my expertise with the recruiters
who are part of IT consulting practices. Without exception,
I have only gotten very favorable comments
on the site.”
- Richard H., CIO, Oklahoma
"During telephone interviews
I have found it to be much easier for the interviewer to let
go of those typical canned HR questions and focus more on
my accomplishments. This has helped land me some interesting
assignments... I would have to say that the web
portfolio should be a part of every job seeker's resume.”
- Steve K., Management
Consultant, California
“I have reviewed the
pages -- they look great. Many thanks for completing this
-- and in record time. Again, great job, I am very
impressed with your service.”
- Jeff A., Project Manager,
Massachusetts
“Larry (my husband)
got a call from a recruiter today, and he had a talk with
the people for a senior exec job. They were very interested
in him, so they asked him to send his resume. Instead, he
sent an email with a link to his web portfolio. Within five
minutes, they're on the phone suggesting a time to get together.
I'm so proud of that web portfolio!!!”
- Gayle H., Career Coach,
Australia
"Thank you for the extraordinary effort, guidance
and support provided to conclude this project successfully.
I am very pleased with this web portfolio,

in achieving better job opportunities."

is amazing! WOW! I love it just the way it is.
NEAT!!!!! Thank you!"

“Thanks again for putting
together such a great web portfolio. It really is
a striking visual tool that neatly bundles up
everything I want to sell about myself. Thanks again for everything
you've done!”
- Sadron L., Editor,
Virginia
"I had another two very positive
meetings with [Employer] yesterday and should hear something
soon from them. I printed off the (web) profile and had it
spiral bound. It looked fantastic. I left a copy with each
of the guys I met yesterday and it was a huge
hit!
I have to tell you, everyone that's seen it said that it is
the most professionally presented document of
this nature that they have ever seen. FYI, I
have a couple of friends that were even talking about connecting
with you to try and do something similar.
Thanks again for making things happen so that I could use
it yesterday. When you walk in with a document like that it
even raises your own confidence."
- John M., N. Carolina
"It's perfect.
I couldn't be more pleased. Now I need to update
my [social networking] sites with my new web portfolio!"
- Heather K., Texas
"I received
two compliments recently on my online profile
from networking connections through Gary B. and Tim F. They
both thought it was well done and very appropriate for a senior-level
technology guy. Thanks!"

I have received several compliments about my portfolio,
so I really do want to thank you and your team!!
Secondly I have had some ask where I had it done and at what
cost. Can I refer them to you, and can I tell them what they
need to have for you to be successful, and give them a range
of cost?
Again, Thanks!!

web portfolios as a MUST today. With the
internet's popularity, having a web presence is the
way to showcase your talent in a professional manner,
show others that you are a step above other candidates,
and that you care about how you present your image online.
It helps a client get their name in front of recruiters
and hiring agents. Just like businesses must have web
sites today, so do the candidates searching for a job
and/or working as a consultant. Someday the paper resume
will be replaced entirely by web portfolios.”
