How can a job hunter build a career portfolio and land a new job based on proving performance levels? Proof Of Performance tells how to handle interview questions which ask for such proof. Employers want proof to support claims of performance; this tells how to build a portfolio which presents just such proof.

I have read this book from cover to cover. There are wisdom-filled ideas to help any age career changer. Don't miss this one! Finally, someone who has been in the trenches is giving advice that can be extremely useful when preparing for the all important interview. Just do it! I am using my Proof of Performance portfolio and it works!! I am much more in control of the process and continue to add to my documented success. The system is not complicated. I love it. You will too.

Nelles provides lots of sensible rationale for the value of a portfolio. The clear message is: Job candidates who can in some way, shape or form, "prove," or at least attempt to prove or visually demonstrate their stated resume skills are far more likely to receive job offers than candidates who make no such effort. On the face of it, it makes perfect sense. Nelles also makes some good suggestions to help candidates resurrect various "proofs of performance" from previous jobs or at least brainstorm various possibilities for visually displaying performance. The language of the book is highly readable, not high-falutin' at all. If you're in the job market, this book will provide the kind of encouragement and suggestions you may well need to land satisfying employment.
