15, 2006 Meeting:
How to Use a Portfolio to Ace a Job Interview
In
this follow-up to his "Top
10 Mistakes" session, Jack Molisani will lead an entertaining and
informative session on how a portfolio is not just a collection of work
samples—it is an interviewing tool you can use to achieve the four
critical steps needed to receive a job offer.
The presentation will include what to put
in a portfolio, how to get things to put in your portfolio, and most
importantly how to use your portfolio to ace a job interview.
Want (or need?) a new job? Don't miss our February meeting.
Jack has been a project officer in
the Space Division of the U.S. Air Force, the documentation manager of a
multi-million dollar software company, and currently is the founder and
president of ProSpring, Inc., a technical communication staffing firm.

Jack is also producing LavaCon, the
Fourth Annual Conference on Technical Communication Management, to be
held October 1-4, 2006 in Kauai, (www.lavacon.org).
Jack will be raffling a free

meeting!
