Slide 2:Presentation Overview
Slide 3:The Problem How do individuals stand out from the crowd?
Distinguishing your students or clients from other applicants can be challenging.
Even a well-formatted, text resume, printed on the best paper, lacks individuality and cannot convey personality or style.
Paper resumes are boring and often ineffective.
Slide 4:The Solution A distinct portfolio allows individuals the ability to gain an advantage when competing for a position through the use of completely interactive multimedia. As well, it allows organizations to showcase their employees.

Slide 6:The Evidence 2008 Video Resume Survey by career research publisher Vault Inc.
“89% of employers revealed that they would watch a video resume if it was submitted to them”
“56% of employers believe they will become a common addition to future job applications”
New York Post
“For employers, the greatest benefit of video interviews is their efficiency.”
"I can get the same information I would get in a face-to-face interview in about one-third the time," says David Thorpe, managing director of Thorpe Capital
Slide 7:The Evidence Time Magazine
“…marrying the video CV to the Internet--and that may just revolutionize the job-search process as we know it.”
Springwise
“Video 'pre-interviews' enable companies to widen their net and evaluate more candidates, without the time and money required by traditional first round interviews.”

No pre-purchase required.
In situations where volume discounts or unrestricted licenses are not applicable/desirable, Distinct Portfolios may engage in profit sharing as an incentive to promote product awareness.
Profit sharing is similar to our affiliate program where 20% of the revenue from a particular sale will be remitted to your institution.
Slide 17:Corporate & Academic Solutions Unrestricted license volumes
For institutions requiring in excess of 1000 units, we recommend a fixed-rate unrestricted annual portfolio license.
Allows for complete administrative control over the content and quality of each individual portfolio.
Unrestricted licenses include a customized template developed free of charge.
Any required interface development is a one-time fee in addition to the annual license.
Unrestricted licenses are available for $25K USD, which represents a minimum 60% savings per portfolio.
Significant additional savings may apply if hosting occurs on your own server.
Slide 18:Corporate & Academic Solutions Special Considerations
Obtaining and editing video content
Distinct Portfolios can recommend preferred videographers to assist in the development of high quality video interviews.
As a less expensive alternative, we are able to work with your institution to select appropriate video equipment and editing software for student access.
We do not recommend encouraging webcam video interviews due to the obvious lack of quality control.
Slide 19:Corporate & Academic Solutions Distinct Portfolios vs. Corporate web hosting
Server and bandwidth discounts will apply to all corporate & academic solutions where Distinct Portfolios does not provide licensee hosting.
