8 Steps to Managing This Is Not My Resume!
(my Un-Resume)
Darryl Heronhttp://about.me/darrylheron
The Traditional Resume Doesn’t Work!
1 page resume doesn’t tell MY story!
You don’t KNOW me & can’t see what I’ve done!....
Let me show you a little bit about myself
This is my Un-Resume. This is ME!
Life Is a Journey, Not a Destination..
Born in the Motor City and have lived 20+ years in the suburbs of Detroit
Lived in Dallas, Texas for nearly a decade
Worked in Benelux for 1 year
Have lived in the Frankfurt, Germany area for several years
One Size Does Not Fit All..
I‘m a Father, Husband, Brother, Son, Uncle, Family Man, & above all a Loyal Friend…
While I‘m also a(n) Experienced Project Manager; Strategic, Out of the Box Thinker; Customer and People Focused; Communicator and Leader; & Social Media Evangelist
Experienced Project Manager:
Working In Project Management for 13+ years
Have been part of smaller projects & part of bigger global projects
Have worked with local teams and teams dispersed throughout the world
I’ve worked on internal projects as well as being client facing
I’ve had projects with the following companies:
Worked in a Variety of Projects:
Rolled out a COE for a few thousand seats
Rolled out workforce management software internally for business unit
Let a Windows migration for a large site and affiliated sites
Led a printer replacement for a large site

Experienced in PM Knowledge Areas & Phases:

Project Phases including: Initiating, Planning, Executing, Monitoring & Control, and Closing
PMP certified
Project Mgmt Transcends Projects:
Projects are everywhere in our professional and private lives
Completing our projects to scope, time, quality, and budget is important to varying degrees everywhere
Projects need to be properly managed or the desired scope, schedule, quality, and budget will not be met and your stakeholders won’t be happy
Strategic, Out of the Box Thinker:
Ability to look at situations beyond the surface
Able to see how technology could be used before it is apparent to others
Can see the bigger picture and connect the dots
Creative and innovative solutions are always on my mind
Driven by New Technology:
Much of what is driving the world didn’t exist 100 years ago and in many case not even 20 years or even a decade ago.
New technology makes all kinds of things possible that were only dreamed about a few your years ago
Really enjoy being a pioneer on the leading edge
Great consideration is needed before deciding to implement new technology*
Customer And People Focused
Many years of customer experience
Belief that the Customer is not always right but is always the Customer and ultimately you need a customer to buy or use your product or service
Win-Win solutions should always be seriously considered
If you help others to solve their problems you can achieve great things!
Communicator And Leader:
80% of a PM’s job is said to be Communication
There are more and more forms of communication and this needs to be managed
Management and Leadership are two different things
Leaders need to guide and set direcion
Managers need to implement what the Leaders have decided, managing and handling the people to achive the goals of the Leaders

Social Media.. Social Media is a passion for me
Started using Social Media in 2006 to promote my blogs

As time goes by using Social Media channels is expected of organizations, businesses, and your average person
