CAREER EXPLORATION
Nicholas MontoyaMech. Engineering, UC San Diegoportfolium.com/nmontoya
“I was denied a position (even an interview) at Northrop Grumman due to my 3.0 GPA. However, my Portfolium got me an interview and now I have an offer from Northrop and 3 others.”
TRUE STORY
Copy and paste Portfolium URL, LinkedIn auto-pulls and embeds
Nicholas was then able to enhance his LinkedIn with actual work experience and showcase his internship by embedding a Portfolium entry.

"I have used other ePortfolio tools and have found that most charge and have capacity limits. Portfolium is free and is unlimited- even with my uploaded videos and SketchFab models."
"I use Portfolium to stand out at career fair events and interviews. I am not able to sell myself as well as many, but I feel more confident with my portfolio."
"Portfolium gives me the opportunity to connect my hard work in the classroom with skills that employers are looking for. Employers have responded to me with "WOW" when they see my portfolio connected to my resume!"
"As a Professor, I let the students know that their projects don't have to end up in the trash or collecting dust on a shelf after a class and even graduation. I have instructed my students to use their Portfolium to bridge the gap of the their lack of work experience with the functional projects they complete in class."
Hayden Hirsch (Alumni)
Marketing - San Diego State University
“Portfolium gave me the confidence I needed in my job interviews. “I literally had all of my work in my back pocket.”
Julien Price (Alumni)
Economics - California State University Northridge
“I use Portfolium to stay engaged with my alma mater and find mentorship opportunities. Portfolium also ensures that my past university work has highly relevant value within the current job marketplace.”
