The Career Performance Portfolio

We all know that it’s a crapshoot to whether or not our resume will even be pulled from the mountain of paper and read by a prospective employer. With more and more qualified candidates for fewer jobs, it sometimes takes more than just a resume to land your dream job.

That’s where the career performance portfolio comes into play. A portfolio simply collects classroom, work, internship or volunteer materials in a nice three-ring binder to bring to interviews. During each interview, you can then show your portfolio to the interviewer and back up what you're saying about your education, skills and experience.

A career performance portfolio doesn’t take the place of a well-written resume, but it can be the deciding enhancement needed to get you what you want.
