require different strategies. And so we recommend that in addition to
looking at the portfolio documents in Part 2, you also take note of the
fact that different strategies are associated with each case.
Part 2 illustrates what might go into a particular portfolio and
tells you why. We do not, however, discuss in any depth howthese doc-
uments should be presented during a meeting. Nor do we discuss here
how manydocuments should be presented. To review the specific tech-
niques that should be used for presenting portfolios in each of the ca-
reer situations described in Part 2, see Chapters 6 and 7.
The documents in this section are based on real documents but
have been changed to protect the privacy of the individuals who have
sent and received them.
The people in these cases are composites of people we have
coached. All names have been changed to protect these people’s coach-
es! Any resemblance to a real person bearing these names is purely co-
incidental.
The documents and people have been made up. But the cases, we
hope you will agree, are based on very real situations!CASES
