Skills - Portfolio Preparation

Like a resume, a portfolio is an important marketing tool. Just as a well-written resume can secure an interview, a thoroughly organized portfolio can be the winning element of a good interview that secures the internship, the job, the promotion, or the raise!

How can this be? Because during an interview, a portfolio allows an individual to highlight, in a show and tell format, numerous aspects of professional development through informative samples selectively chosen to represent her/himself.

DEVELOP A PROFESSIONAL PORTFOLIO TO:

• Market skills, talents, abilities
• Document uniqueness through example
• Substantiate verbal declarations
• Demonstrate range of knowledge, skills, abilities
• Highlight honors, awards, affiliations
• Accentuate personal professionalism
• Display understanding of company needs
• Boost confidence and strengthen optimism through readiness to:
• Surpass the competition!
