New York, NY (PRWEB) August 29, 2007 -- Howard Nestler, CEO of Executive Options, used the occasion of a business luncheon speech to marketing professionals today to enumerate the 'Passport' abilities that can serve to widen the horizons for upper level executives involved in a job search.

"In seeking a new engagement, most executives offer up a chronology of their job history in the hope that it will elicit interest in them," observes Nestler. "It doesn't."

Nestler makes the point that where you went to school or how long you remained with any particular company is largely irrelevant to the issue of creating excitement about an executive. "In fact," Nestler asserts, "offering up a chronology of engagements rather than an articulation of his or her signature skills has the subliminal implication that the executive has only an attendance record as credentials."

Nestler made it clear to the gathering that one should be marketing an intellect and not a description of past jobs.

"Every upper level executive has special skills and abilities that any corporation in any sector could make good use of," explains Nestler. "These are what I call 'Passport' abilities; they can take one just about anywhere."

These typically stem from the preferences, the passions, the perspective and the personality of the executive. They add up to a combination exclusive to the executive. "When one has a product no one else can offer, let the public know about it. Nobody wins when you act as though you're just one of a crowd."
