A general consensus is that job seekers
and those already employed, but seeking advancement,
need to develop methods that promote and distinguish
themselves from other potential competitors in the job
market. This is reflected by the variety of professional
literature, and career center and university Web sites
promoting various methods of job hunting and alternative
means to promote experience and skills.
By collecting this information throughout college and your career,
you can help to document the skills and abilities you possess. An electronic
portfolio is an excellent way to:
- provide a personal record of your
skills and achievements,
- display your interests and expertise
to others,
- create evidence of efforts and progress
for degree program requirements or a current employer,
or
- market your qualifications to a
prospective employer.
Many of the activities that take place
in an educational and job setting require skills that
are difficult to document. An electronic portfolio provides
the perfect medium to document and accentuate your experience
and talents.
