Going Beyond the
Resume:
Portfolio of Professionally Written Creative Documents for Your Job Search
The "traditional" resume and cover
letter still play a primary role in the job search and we do not
expect that to change in the near future. But, in recent years there
has been a real evolution in thought and creativity regarding content,
length, and formats of resumes. Accelerated by an increasingly
competitive job market, a variety of new career marketing documents
have emerged and are gaining in use and popularity.
The sample documents presented in
this portfolio are examples of some of the creative documents that we,
at Distinctive Documents, have prepared for our clients. These are
just samples of our work, meant to illustrate the quality,
effectiveness, and creativity of our work.
Please note that these samples are
protected by copyright law and that copying is prohibited.
Networking Resume
A shorter, more concise,
one-page version of
your complete resume that is useful in networking situations when
you don't want to hand out your full resume. Your networking resume is
created to succinctly convey the key facts, major highlights, and your
value proposition in an attractive format. You may want to hand
several of these to your contacts, for them to use when reaching out
on your behalf to their own networking contacts.
Specialty Profiles
Usually a one-page document submitted as an
addendum to your resume.
A specialty profile can be used to showcase your specific area of
expertise. Leadership Profiles, Consulting Engagement Profiles, and
Technology Profiles are particularly common, but specialty profiles or
capability
summaries can be created for individuals with expertise in any
area. Profiles might include such items as lists of training or
presentations, case studies, lists of clients or projects, technology
summaries, or even brief case studies.
Biographical Sketches
Typically, a one-page narrative
summary marketing your key qualifications and career achievements.
Biographical sketches are often included in business plan submissions
or when seeking Board appointments or speaking engagements. You may be
asked for a biography by a hiring company, to use in their marketing
materials or on their website.
Reference Sheets
Going beyond a simple listing of references, your
references sheet becomes a
key "selling" piece in your overall career marketing strategy. Again,
it is usually a one-page document that includes a summary of your
relationship with each reference and your traits and qualifications
that the individual reference will speak about.
Accomplishment Summaries
A great way to include more in-depth information about key
accomplishments than is practical in the resume. These documents are
rarely longer than two pages and should include a few
expanded accomplishment
stories written in the Challenge-Actions-Results format.

Careers
This is just a short note to let you know that I have been offered
the position of Director of Educational and Administrative
Technology ...Feedback from some of the members of the selection committee revealed
that they were "blown away" by the resume. Actually, they only had me in for a
single interview...I consider your work
very instrumental in both the success of landing the job, and in the ability to
successfully assert a salary requirement that is significantly higher for this particular
area of the country...You can be sure that you are a permanent part of my electronic
rolodex. If anyone ever needs a top-quality resume, you can be sure that your name will be
mentioned.

Fast Results
Thought you'd like to know that I've just accepted a
new position and am happy as can be. You should know that I began my search in earnest in
the beginning of November and my success rate in getting calls from the companies whose
postings (Monster and HeadHunter) I responded to was nothing short of phenomenal. Thanks a
million Michelle for getting me noticed.

Improved
Confidence
I just want to compliment you again on the fabulous
service you provide. I am sure your new offerings will bring you even greater success. I
am so glad I found you. I looked at other resume preparation services but yours was
definitely the most compelling. Everyone I have shown my resume to is very impressed. I
have given them your name and website (along with a glowing recommendation of course). I
really can't thank you enough. I am very excited about the possibilities that await me. I
guess I never realized the number of skills I have and things that I have accomplished
until you organized them so coherently.
