CAREER PORTFOLIO

What is a career portfolio? Why do I need one?

"It is a job-hunting tool that you develop that gives employers a complete picture of who you are -- your experience, your education, your accomplishments, your skill sets -- and what you have the potential to become -- much more than just a cover letter and resume can provide. You can use your career portfolio in job interviews to showcase a point, to illustrate the depth of your skills and experience, or to use as a tool to get a second interview." (Hansen, Randall S., Your Job Skills Portfolio: Giving You an Edge in the Marketplace, www.quintcareers.com)
