Once upon a time, having a paper resume was enough to prove you had the proper education or skills for a job. And showing your successful work related projects was not required except at your yearly review to your boss.
But not anymore.
These days, just about everyone can benefit from visually showcasing their career and educational highlights. Besides having an electronic version of a resume, additional content such as presentations, images, writing examples, academic projects, and other work related examples can be a visual sampling of your best work. And the tools to store, create, and maintain a digital career portfolio has never been more plentiful or cheaper.
This course will introduce you to the concept of a career portfolio, explain a portfolio, define the structure, offer a few portfolio builders to start a digital career portfolio, and link a few references on this topic. Below, you will find the objectives for each step in this process.
