This collection of documents illustrates and showcases your profession- al accomplishments and tal- ents. It provides potential employers with concrete examples demonstrating the skills and experience you’ve acquired, and serves to show that you’re the per- fect fit for the position. When putting your port- folio together, you’ll need to make a list of all your various professional accom- plishments, such as intern- ships, education, previous jobs or community work. Once done, you’ll need to select the documents most relevant to the position you’re targeting. The best way to do this is to refer to the list of skills and qua- lifications sought after by the company or employer. You’ll then need to decide which documents — texts, degrees, reports, letters of recommendations, certificates, awards, cour- ses, etc. — best represent your skills. Once you’ve collected and organized all the relevant material, you’ll have the option of creating a paper portfolio (tradition- ally placed in a three-ring binder) or an online port- folio. And while portfolios vary from person to person, they all contain the same major components, such as: A cover page containing the date, your name and contact information A table of contents A statement regarding your career objectives A copy of your resumé Letters of recommenda- tion A description of your skills relating to the position and an account of how you developed them during your professional career Work samples that pro- vide concrete examples and evidence of your skills and accomplishments Regardless of the format you choose, your portfolio must be professional, well structured and easy to navigate.

� ursday, February 27, 2020 A Career � at Suits You C1

What to include in your professional portfolioMuch like your CV and

cover letter, a well-con-structed professional port-folio is instrumental in setting you apart from the competition. This collection of documents illustrates and showcases your profession-al ac compli shments and tal-ents. It provides potential employers with concrete examples demonstrating the skills and experience

you’ve acquired, and serves to show that you’re the per-fect fi t for the position.

When putting your port-folio together, you’ll need to make a list of all your various professional accom-plishments, such as intern-ships, education, previous jobs or community work. Once done, you’ll need to se lect the documents most relevant to the position

you’re targeting. The best way to do this is to refer to the list of skills and qua -lifi cations sought after by the company or employer.

You’ll then need to decide which documents — texts, degrees, reports, letters of recommendations, certifi cates, awards, cour-ses, etc. — best represent your skills. Once you’ve collected and organized all

the relevant material, you’ll have the option of crea ting a paper portfolio (tradition-ally placed in a three-ring binder) or an online port-folio. And while portfolios vary from person to person, they all contain the same major components, such as: � A cover page containing the date, your name and contact information� A table of contents� A statement regarding your career objectives� A copy of your resumé� Letters of recommenda-tion� A description of your skills relating to the position and an account of how you developed them during your professional career� Work samples that pro-vide con crete examples and evidence of your skills and ac complishments

Regardless of the format you choose, your portfolio must be professional, well structured

and easy to navigate. It’s also im portant to tailor and per-sonalize your portfolio to each and every interview. Certain positions might call for differ-

ent skill sets or expe riences, so you’ll want your portfolio to showcase the ac complish-ments that make you the best candidate for the job.

Tailor your portfolio to each specifi c interview.
