4. “Career portfolios help document education, work samples and skills.
People use career portfolios to apply for jobs, apply to college or training programs. They are
more in-depth than a resume, which is used to summarize the above in one or two pages. Career
portfolios serve as proof of one's skills, abilities, and potential in the future.
Career portfolios help with a job or acceptance into higher education institutes. A career portfolio
should be personal and contain critical information. Items that should be included include (but are
not limited to) personal information, evaluations, sample work, a business portrait, and
awards and acknowledgments.”
