How To Build A Career Portfolio
March 272010
A career portfolio is a master set of documents and other items you will assemble that provide evidence of your skills, achievements, experience, and other job qualifications. Use a ring binder or another efficient method to store your portfolio items.
This portfolio, like your resume, should be updated periodically to reflect all skills and qualifications you develop.
Include the following types of documents and information in your Career Portfolio
1. Copies of your completed resume printed on quality paper.

3. Copies of your List of References. Include the names of people who will give you a good reference, their titles, complete addresses, and phone numbers.

your diploma, certificates, licenses, school transcripts, awards.
6. Samples of your work, use of technology, etc. (design or art work, writing samples, software-generated documents, etc.)
