INTRODUCTION
In this part of the book we present five examples of targeted Can-Do
Portfolios. Each portfolio is targeted at a particular job for a person who
is in a particular career situation.
We have tried to provide enough details about each person’s “case”
for you to be able to understand why each document was included in a
given portfolio.
Although it is true that your portfolio may have as many as twen-
ty documents in it, for reasons of space, no more than a dozen docu-
ments are included in each portfolio here. Do not be concerned if you do
not happen to have any of the documents that we have included here or
if the documents you have in mind for your portfolio are quite different.
You should use whatever works for you. Nevertheless, looking at these
examples should spark some ideas. Consult Chapters 2 and 3 for fur-
ther ideas about the kinds of documents you might want to include in
your targeted portfolio. Hopefully, you will be able to come up with
some color documents, which, for reasons of cost, we could not include
here.
In addition to presenting examples of the kinds of documents that
might be used in a portfolio, we also wanted to give you an opportuni-
ty here to follow the strategic process associated with targeting an ef-
fective portfolio. As explained in Chapter 7, different career situationsCopyright 2003 by Frank Satterthwaite and Gary D,Orsi. Click Here for Terms of Use.^157
