In the previous article, Tips on How to Build an Impressive Career Portfolio, I mentioned several ways to build an online portfolio, but I wanted to share a unique platform in detail below, because I am so impressed with this technology. It is called WinTheView

Suppose you want to build a customized presentation for a job interview based on solution selling. In that case, WintheView will enhance your personal brand and will most definitely help you stand out and set you apart from other candidates. 

WinTheView is “an innovative technology platform to showcase your unique skills, strengths, and career highlights” that will give you a competitive edge. You can create custom URLs, PDF documents, and provide video links. You have a choice to use all or some of the features. 

When you use WintheView, it helps you demonstrate your attention to detail, critical thinking, and planning effort that you have put into your career management. It shows some transferable skills you would bring to a company and much more. 

Here are the key features in each section of this innovative platform:
