Create a portfolio in business website layout (Photoshop – Template)

How To Find Your Dream Job? A business portfolio is all about what your business encompasses. A presentable business portfolio should be the culmination of all the planning parts that were considered while starting a new business. It is a dynamic opportunity for the employers to depict what is your business, what are your capabilities and what you can achieve in future. Now, how to make it the portfolio as website ? This post will create a portfolio/presentation or if you’d like a business Photoshop template (psd template)

As you usual, to design this website we will gonna use some vector elements from our Supreme Vector Set

Full Preview:

 

Note: Some steps dose require to  have Supreme Set in order to achieve the same result.

Let’s start it.

Step 1

Open Photoshop and create a new document (Ctrl+N) with this dimensions  1024 pixels by 1200pixels. As a background color I have chosen white (#FFFFFF)

Creating top header

Step 2

Select rectangle tool and create a similar shape. I have used this color: # 164268. Mine has the following dimensions: 1024px by 84px

Step 3

Select rectangle tool and create another shape, below the shape created at step 2. I am using this color: # 08effd. My shape has the following dimensions: 1024px by 185px

Step 4

Select again rectangle tool and create another shape on the top of the shape created at step 3. I have used this color: # 266088

When you create this shape, don’t cover the entire shape created on step 3, leave 1px distance between those 2 shape. I have made this to create a nice stroke on the top of this shape. Please see the screenshot below.

Then Select Type Tool (T) and add a text on the shape created on step 2. This will be published latest news from the website or from a social network website.

Step 5

Next I will add some links using the Type Tool (T) on the top right side.

Step 6

Select Rounded Rectangle Tool, and create a shape above the About link, please see the screenshot. I have used  this color: #315a7d

Creating the logo and header

Step 7

For logo- the text -ArtBox7.com -  I have used    “MoolBoran” font – size 48px – with the following layer styles:

Here’s my result

Step 8

From Supreme Vector Set (more exactly from Retro/Funky Tree Vector Pack) I will add a nice tree to use it as a logo.

Creating the navigation

Step 9

Select Rectangle Tool and create a similar shape:

Step 10

Having Rectangle Tool selected, create another shape below shape created on step 10. I have used this color: #c6ff00

Step 11

Select again rectangle tool and create another shape on the top of the shape created at step 11. I have used this color: # 8dc63f

When you create this shape, don’t cover the entire shape created on step 11, leave 1px distance between those 2 shape. I have made this to create a nice stroke.

Step 12

Next using the Type Tool (T) I will add some links on the navigation bar. Now If you will analyze a little bit the top header, you will see that is a quite empty. Something needs to be added to make it more attractive.

Going back to the Header

Step 13

From Supreme Vector Set I will select Abstract Curve Vector Pack and I will add an vector element to Photoshop

Step 14

Next I will add an image, on the right side, please see the screenshot

Step 15

I will select Rectangle Tool and I will create a shape. I will rotate a little bit this shape and I will place it behind the image added on step 14

Step 16

I will select again rectangle tool, but this time I will rotate the shape in opposite direction

Step 17

Ellipse Tool and create a similar shape. Choose #FFFFFF for background

Step 18

Go to Filter>Blur>Gaussian Blur

Step 19

Here choose 78.6 for Radios

My result:

Now the header looks really nice, don’t you think ? Let’s get back to navigation now

Step 20

Select rectangle tool and add another shape (below shape created on step 11)

Step 21

Apply the following layer styles to the shape created on steep 20

Step 22

Creating the content area

The content area is quite easy to create. You will need to use Type Tool (T) to add text and some  vectors from our Supreme Vector Set.

Here’s the screenshot:

Step 23

Creating the footer

Select Rectangle Tool and create a shape with this color: # bd7327

Step 24

Above this shape (created on step 22), create another one using this color # 875725
When you create this shape, don’t cover the entire shape created on step 21, leave 1px distance between those two shapes. I have made this to create a nice stroke on the top of this shape. Please see the screenshot below:

Step 25

Now from Supreme Vector Set (more exactly from Retro/Funky Tree Vector Pack) I will add an vector element

Step 26

Than using the type tool I will add a copywrite text.
Here’s the final result:

The tutorial is finished now.  Thanks for watching and don’t forget to bookmark this website!

Next I will add some links using the Type Tool (T) on the top right side.

How To Get Called To Interview For Your Dream Job

How To Get Called To Interview For Your Dream Job ? A business portfolio is all about what your business encompasses. A presentable business portfolio should be the culmination of all the planning parts that were considered while starting a new business. It is a dynamic opportunity for the employers to depict what is your business, what are your capabilities and what you can achieve in future. It should include your offered products and service, annual reports, financial track, profitability ratio and corporate structure. It should be indicative of your several business terms, your business goals and business experiences for people who want to execute business with you.

Having Them* Call You

Do you dream of getting a call out of the blue to interview for your dream job? Are you interested in letting your great work speak for you? Do you want someone else to do the legwork in finding your dream job?

If so, there are several things you need to do long before you walk into an interview.

Become A Dream Candidate

It may seem like a simple thing, but search firms are looking for the best candidates, the cream of the crop ... and so you need to rise to the occasion and the top of the pail .. in order to be spotted and recognized.

Dream candidates not only have the right skills, knowledge, work history, values and industry background .. they make a point of standing out of the crowd and doing things that highlight their strengths.

These include ...

• giving presentations on industry issues at conferences
• working at industry trade shows to make contacts and share information
• getting to know the movers and shakers in the industry they would like to work in and companies they work for
• making a real, demonstrable difference in the company they work for ... solving problems, spearheading issues, saving money

Become A Search Firm Client

Career placement and executive search firms make a living by quickly matching up dream candidates with good companies.

So becoming a client and having your resume entered into their database is in both of your interests. And it is not disloyal to the company you work for ... because companies can change management, fall on hard times, or shift focus and policies away from what you love and were hired to do.

Getting noticed is the first step, but the second is having a solid work reputation and the personal life to go with it. Dream candidates are meant to solve problems, not become one. And so they have higher standards to meet in their professional and personal lives ... being honest, smart, farsighted and focused.

To be prepared for the call and invitation to join the search firm's database, you need ...

• an updated executive version of your work history, top skills and looked for position (short resume)
• a list of preferred or ideal future work assignments .. what you would be thrilled to find in terms of work and career steps
• a master resume with a work portfolio you can show and walk through with the search firm and hiring managers
• a list of the things you do not want, so the firm does not waste time on jobs or companies that are clearly not a match for you in terms of salary, location, travel, benefits, etc.

Building A Network To Get The Word Out

It starts with getting to know other great people in your industry and related ones. People who are also great at what they do and love it. They usually have a network of their own. And when the time is right, you can let the right people know two things:

• you looking for the right opportunity
• you are willing to wait for it

As you discretely spread the word through your network, you want to describe your dream job or next career step clearly enough so everyone can recognize it when it pops up ... or direct you to the people who will recognize it.

People who love what they do love to help others who are passionate and great at what they do .. find the right job and employer.

Apply For Your Dream Job Before It Exists

Many of the best jobs never make it to being advertised .. you just hear through the grapevine that someone was hired or changed companies.

Often these positions and dream jobs are filled by people who put out feelers long before the position existed. And sometimes, the position is created for the dream candidate ... rather than the other way around.

If you have identified your dream companies ... you can let them know of your interest before a position opens. Enthusiasm and keeping in touch are great ways to signal your long term interest in working for the company and helping it solve problems and prosper.

How To Create A Master Resume

How To Create A Master Resume ? A business portfolio is all about what your business encompasses. A presentable business portfolio should be the culmination of all the planning parts that were considered while starting a new business. It is a dynamic opportunity for the employers to depict what is your business, what are your capabilities and what you can achieve in future. It should include your offered products and service, annual reports, financial track, profitability ratio and corporate structure. It should be indicative of your several business terms, your business goals and business experiences for people who want to execute business with you.

A Master Resume Make Job Hunting Easier

If you need a fast way to make great custom resumes, consider creating a master resume. It can save you time, help you get organized, and produce a tailored resume in less than half an hour. And it makes filling out applications for schools, scholarships and internships a lot easier and faster.

What is a Master Resume?

A master resume is a document that lists and completely describes all your work experience, accomplishments, and training -- all in one place. So if you have ever struggled to find old pay stubs, offer letters and transcripts -- this will help you pull all this information together and put it in one place in a useable form.

A master resume can be anyway from four to twenty pages long. In it, you list every summer, part time and full time job you have had, along with internships and volunteer positions. Here you have the space to fully list your responsibilities, major assignments, special projects, one time opportunities and accomplishments.

You also include all the classes you have taken, the degrees and certificates you have earned and all the details you need about dates, grades and special awards.

Once you have written your master resume, you proof and spell check it so it is ready to go. Now you have a complete, accurate and honest list of all of your accomplishments. You can place a complete copy of your resume in your portfolio to help you prepare for interviews and highlight skills not covered in the resume you submitted with your application. But the real power behind your master resume is the ability to quickly cut and paste selected work histories to create custom resumes and cover letters.

Why Invest The Time?

Creating a master resume does require investing a lot of time up front. You can spend from 4 to 20 hours, depending on how much work experience you have. But our experience is that this investment pays off handsomely in the long run.

Here are some of the reasons why ...

• It streamlines making custom versions
  Crafting a new resume or tweaking an old one for each job you apply for takes time and the talent to write, spell check and proof each resume you create. If you use your master resume, you write your experience once and then cut, paste and check your formatting.
• It simplifies remembering past jobs
  If you create a master resume, you only have to remember and write down the correct titles and other specifics of past jobs once -- instead of every time you want to look for a new job or need a very different resume.
• It helps you spot themes and patterns
  If you have a "mixed bag" of past jobs, creating a master resume helps you see connections across activities that do not show up in a one page resume. You may have hidden themes that run through your favorite jobs which you never noticed. Seeing the pattern behind what you have done can transform what looks like a bunch of odd jobs into a varied background that uniquely qualifies you for your dream job.
• It helps you highlight your favorite tasks
  It is easy to forget the small tasks that we loved about a job when we have to focus on writing about the major activities of our job description. When you take the time to document every task and project when you create your master resume, you can start to remember and reflect on your favorite tasks. For example, you might have spent only 5% of your time writing press releases, so it never makes it onto your one or two page resume. But realizing how much you liked doing it may change the types of jobs you apply for or decide you want to do it full time.
• It helps you overcome the problem of the generic resume
  The problem with generic resumes that are written "to fit all jobs" is that they sound too general. When we used to have to cull through 2,000 resumes to get a pool of 20 to interview -- the generic resumes and the ones that were hastily tweaked were set aside. They joined the ones that lacked polish, proofreading and the professionalism of spell checking. A custom resume that hits all the skill and experience keywords stands out and presents you as a possibledream candidate for the job. With the ability to cut and paste, you can create a resume that reflects all the relevant information for the specific job you are applying for.
• It allows you to describe different skill sets
  Often we tend to think of ourselves as fitting into only one job category, and our resumes reflect that. But skill sets are transferable across industries, fields and job titles. So you may be well qualified for jobs you have never thought about. By writing down all your skills and experience, you can not only see the wealth of skills you have, but how you might combine them into different types of work categories. And you may have some gifts and talents you rarely use, but would like to highlight and develop. So a complete list of your skills helps you see how your skills fit together, as well as identify any holes that might be missing.

Using Your Master Resume

Once you have a master resume that includes ALL of your relevant experience and skills, you can create a customized resume for a specific job, scholarship or business opportunity. You can create a custom resume in less than half an hour by ...

• Making a digital copy of your master resume and deleting out what is not relevant. Then tweak a few keywords if the ad or application uses different but similar words for your gifts, talents, favorite things and work experience.
• Creating a blank document and cutting and pasting relevant information into it from your master resume file so you create a new custom resume.

To make your resume more effective, you can then tailor it to fit the job advertisement and the company research you have done. So, like any great resume, your final custom resume should ...

• summarize your objective and reflect how this position will allow you to work on the problems, issues and needs you love
• highlight the work history which emphasizes the activities, experiences, people, tools, materials and things you love that this new position will involve
• demonstrate you have the key job skills by using keywords which describe your gifts and talents in descriptions of your previous work, accomplishments, and skills
