Job Interview Help: 20 years experience
Post Flair (click to view more posts with a particular flair)
Post Body

I have been at my most recent job for almost 10 years and I have almost 20 years of work experience. After a decade, it's time for me to move on and look for a new job.

The problem is that it's been so long since I've had a job interview I have almost no idea what a person at my level of experience is expected to bring to an interview in terms of a portfolio.

The last time I went on a job interview I brought along a portfolio that had "tear-sheets" of projects from the office that I had worked on, a couple of half-size CD sets of projects so I could show which sheets I worked on to show my drafting skills, and even some projects and hand sketches from college.

I don't think much of that is appropriate. At my level of experience, I'm a project manager mostly, I might do crude sketches of details to explain something to someone on my team but more likely I'm red-lining drawings, preparing schedules, reviewing project budgets, staffing requirements, etc.

I thought I would bring tear-sheets from major projects that I have worked on over the years. Some copies of some analytic spreadsheets that I've done and maybe a couple of diagrams, plans, or details that I've done that explain some intricacies of some projects.

Am I on the right track? What else would you expect to see from a candidate? What have you brought to your own interviews?

I appreciate any thoughts you might have.
