#1— Your Top Selling Point

Start  with  the  #1    thing  that  makes  you  stand  out  from  everyone  else.

He loves his topics so deeply, thinks and writes so differently, and shows you so many things that you never knew before, you see the everyday world in new ways. I never miss the chance to see him talk

Project  Managers  must  be  great  communicators:  I  regularly  speak  to  C-­‐level  execs.  I’m  o:en  invited  to  speak  to  professional  groups.  

I  teach  tech  and  sales  to  pros:  I  have  recurring  engagements  with  professional  speakers.  I  make  them  beBer,  they  make  me  beBer.  One  is  quoted  below…

I’m  a  master  of  the  presenta:on:  There  are  4  types  of  decks,  and  a  truckload  of  things  to  know  about  persuading  people.

#2— I keep my communication skills sharp by working with professional speakers.

CommunicaKon  is  almost  always  your  number  2  strength.    The  more  detail  you  provide  here,  the  beBer.

#3 — I’ve project-managed waterfall and agile.

1 Company A trained me in Agile. My latest agile project was a unified test framework for Openet’s Engineering group. I was in the PMO.

299% of my career has been customer-facing.I no longer accept internal-only jobs. They’re boring.

Disclosures:  

I’ve worked for 2 companies in the past 10 years— A and B.

3 I’ve been a PMP for about 10 years.

Back  to  the  job  req:    Add  a  slide  about  your  second  most  important  strength.

#4— I transferred to Department X 18 months

My  group  of  40  developers  and  managers  was  laid  off  in  2013.

Except  me.

I  was  transferred  to  TechSales  because  the  CEO  had  seen  a  presentaKon  about  my  system  for  growing  projects/accounts.

Give some details about your career story.

Keep  this  short,  but  make  it  clear  that  you  are  worth  talking  to.

#5— Smaller Stuff

Design Sense

I  brought  design  and  beauty  to  my  work.    

My  diagrams,  slides,  and  words  are  swiped  and  used  globally  at  Openet.

Latest Tech

I  don’t  code  anymore,  but  I  know  my  way  

around,  and  I’m  up  to  date  on  the  latest  meta  (cloud,  virtualizaKon,  massive  scalability,  and  

more).

Big & Small

I  have  lots  of  experience  with  large  and  small  

projects.  

(And  large  and  small  clients.)

Clients Love Me

I  know  my  stuff.  I’m  ‘great  in  the  room’.  I  speak  geek  to  geeks,  and  business  to  clients.

Your  final  points  should  go  on  the  2nd  to  last  slide.
