I created an online resume and portfolio last fall
when I was facing a layoff. You can see it at ...

Most of the calls I received were from headhunters who
saw my resume on monster.com, but a few found this
more private version on their own.

My purpose in creating the online resume was to create
a sort of "capability presentation" since almost all
the work I have done lives behind firewalls. Also, I
wanted to emphasize my project management skills over
design skills. I referenced the site whenever I
applied for a job via the internet.

The portfolio turned out to be a very useful tool for
landing job interviews and for *preparing* for them. I
spent some time thinking about "just what did I
accomplish and what was my contribution" in my
previous projects. Having those thoughts in writing at
the job interview was very helpful.
