Editor's Notes
- Intro myselfPortfolio history at BSCStudent Success StoryWays to use employment interviews performance evaluation reflection tool
- Your resume got you the interviewThe portfolio can help you focus It shouldn’t be everything – like a 4” binder. It should be a focused set of work
- If you are in those particular fields – there are industry standards that you want to meet.Everyone else…Your portfolio reflects YOU.If you are creative – Let it show!If you are a computer whiz – Let it show!It can help show that you are the right fit.
- In this definition – you will notice that it also points out moving forward in your career. If you use it for an employment search, you don’t want to just throw it in a corner once you get a job. Use it for performance evaluations As an employee As a managerUse it as you are planning your career path May help you see gaps that you can fill to make yourself more marketable in the future
- Go through all 5 goalsThen do the match Today, I only want to light a little fire under you You will not leave here with a portfolio in hand It does take time and effort to put a quality portfolio together Want you to start thinking about how you can prove that you have the knowledge, skills and abilities for a particular job or promotion
- When you are leaving the house for an interview or professional meeting or other portfolio opportunity, you shouldn’t be bringing the same evidence to every occasion – kind of like not sending the same cover letter to each job you are applying for.Your portfolio should be reflecting the skill set needed for whatever opportunity you are seeking.That is why a c.u. is important so that you have one place for everything and then you can pick, choose and organize for each event you are using it for.
- In order to discuss this part of the process, sometimes it’s a little more clear if we use a celebrity type that most everyone knows…
- Sometimes you have to be creative with your evidence. You may not have a “certificate” that shows you volunteered somewhere….maybe a print our of the organizations’ web page would be enough to show what the organization does and how you fit in.
- Gathering is a continual process.It’s more than just a one afternoon project.You may be in the shower and think of a new way of presenting your evidence. Keep an open mind.You may already have some sort of C.U. with all of your evidence – YEA! When I first started mine, I was not that organized and I had to look in a variety of places to put my hands on evidence.
- What are some targets?Emphasize TOP strengthsWhen I walk away, what do I want the audience to remember about me?Your evidence should always be your very best work.
- Most common – ring binder with page protector sheets. 1 protector for each sheet – back to back the sheets – makes it easier for someone to review your work without taking it out and then trying to stuff it back into the protector. Easy to carry around Easy to show Not really 3-DWeb Page Easy to pull up anywhere Can host many different types of media Can only be seen with a connectionFlash Drive Very portable Need to create some sort of organization – do not just want a list of files
