Career Portfolio

I have to admit I am someone that does listen to some of the conversations that go on at other tables around me at the local Starbucks, Paradise Bakery and Panera Breads.

It's amazing how many of those conversations seem to touch on employment. Either someone is unhappy in their job, looking for a job, trying to fill a job... or just frustrated with their staff. My guess is that 75% of coffee shop conversations will touch on employment at some point.

Furthermore, coffee shops have become second offices for many professionals, and one business meeting can result in 3-5 mini meetings when you are introduced to others by the person you're with at the time. Kinda like speed networking!

Those mini meetings at coffee shops allow the next meeting to be warm, and much easier. Likewise, building a profile on CareerScribe, along with an introduction video, is an easy way to introduce yourself beyond a one page resume, making that next meeting all the more warm. When you realize that you can build a professional portfolio as part of your CareerScribe profile, you can understand how first interviews can be eliminated, and why online employee screening is becoming so popular.
