Has anybody used a portfolio in a job interview? For head coaching or assistant jobs? What do you include in it?

ah, yknow...there are different spins on this. An AD once told me "keep it simple because its a forgone conclusion"...(that means the jobs are already filled) lol...
but...heres what i just sent out today...and this is overkill...
180 page program/history and program building manual (nicely bound at office max)
175 page nicely bound offensive playbook
150 page nicely bound defensive playbook
photo copies of criminal background check and child abuse clearances
transcripts
teaching cert
4 letters of recommendation
resume
cover letter which includes a few statements about why i coach (ie, teach life lessons etc)
I have even considered bringing my wife to the interviews this year as someone once told me that seeing a "team" at home demonstrates your ability to lead a team at work. interesting huh? my wife supports me 100%. I might even put her on the coaching pay roll ala Don Markham.

If it's a great amount of material you're handing over to the AD to look over, it had better be neat, organized and detailed, which it sounds like your stuff all is. I know of many AD's who look at coaching resumes as an indicator as to what type of coach that person may be. A sloppy, unorganized mass of papers is a solid indicator that the coach in question is not going to be a prepared, organized leader. Your resume package is YOU on paper, make it organized and neat. |
