The purpose of your portfolio is to help you get a
job. Think of your portfolio as an interviewing tool, a way to
communicate what you have to offer an employer with evidence to back
up your statements. Focus your portfolio on the skills,
experiences and interests you have that are related to your vocation.
Your portfolio is an expanded resume that provides more detailed
information and evidence.
Each of your portfolio pages will have the following
elements:
|
Organizing your Portfolio |

instantly what each page is demonstrating |

your work, certificate, medal, ribbon, or photograph that

that explains what you have learned or what you are demonstrating
in your "Evidence" |
