Thanks for the kind words, and I’m glad you liked the book. The portfolio is one of those ideas that seems so simple and obvious, isn’t it? And yet, it never occurred to me until I’d seen it done years ago, too.
I thought a lot about putting in sample resumes, and I decided not to mostly for philosophical reasons. I didn’t want readers to focus on presentation, and instead to put their energy into the words. That’s why there are bits and snippets of resume sections used as illustrations, but not a single cohesive “this is what a resume should look like.” That’s because there’s not a single right way to do it.
You can see my own resume as an example of how I like resumes. Don’t worry about the formatting as much as the key points of putting the most important information at the top, and go to less important as you move down the list.
