Loyalist Career Centre: Making it Big Monday

A portfolio is an excellent way to package a product, and you are the product! It will give future or current employers proof of you, your skills and abilities (what you bring to the table). Your portfolio will be made up of a sampling of artefacts which may be included on the list below: ?????????Table of Contents/Organization scheme - this will allow you to be organized during an interview. If you need a letter of reference for your interviewer, it's easy to access and will make you look much more organized
????????? R?sum? and Cover Letter and a Business Card - even if you have sent your r?sum? and cover letter via email, always bring a spare copy along for your interviewer. You can never be too prepared and you don't know if the interviewer misplaced or couldn't print off your information

????????? Degrees/Diplomas/Awards
????????? Letters of Recommendation/References
????????? Transcripts
????????? Projects
????????? Professional memberships
????????? Community Service/Volunteer

Showcase Guidelines
????????? Include an introduction and table of contents
???????? Use a professional binder/ portfolio that is clean and well maintained
????????? Be creative
????????? Don?t punch holes in your documents

?????????Have photocopies of your documents to leave with the employer

????????? Use quality paper and captions to enhance the contents
