Showcase Your Talents Through a Portfolio


Ladies there is so much to be said about your aptitude, so why not let your knowledge, skills, abilities and experience speak for itself. It’s a given that when looking into perspective career opportunities you should have a resume, but why stop there?  Although a resume has always been utilized as a preliminary tool, or an introduction of your work history; the fact still remains that the job market has become more saturated and competitive.  If you only had ten minutes to seal the deal on the employment opportunity of your dreams, would you close in on the prize by taking a more creative stance?

In my world it’s all about the visuals.  Keeping record of special work projects, spreadsheets, coordination, creative ideas, etc., is a great way to showcase your talents and exhibit determination.  It is also a great attribute to the “staying organized” process.  Personally, I have worked on and created several documents that I really never thought twice about until I started looking at the certain skill sets required in our job market today. 

My portfolio project consists of:
-         1” flexible binder (flat and portable)
-         Sheet protectors
-         A copy of my resume
-         Documents that display some of the projects I created/worked on


Good Luck! Hope you all have an awesome day!
