A Resume is Not Enough

A resume is an outline of your qualifications and work experience that needs to be supported with engaging evidence of what you have done and can do. An employment or career portfolio does just that, with your resume as one part of a compilation that includes any awards you’ve won, testimonials, references, training, case studies, skills inventory and qualifications, and samples of your work if you are a writer, designer or artist.

An employment portfolio is a collection of samples of your work and evidence of your employment achievements, organized in an attractive package such as a presentation binder, preferably with an online version that mirrors it. In addition to your resume, other hard copy documents that best demonstrate your skills and abilities range from transcripts and letters of recommendation to samples of your writing, research, design or artwork.

Use an employment portfolio to present information that can’t be put in your resume. It creates a more complete picture of your career goals, work ethic, values and work style. Present it to an employer to answer questions about what you have done in other positions and what you could do for the employer interviewing you. Refer to your employment portfolio during discussions of your experience and achievements in response to interview questions, and have examples of work at hand to demonstrate skills and abilities. An employment portfolio is a good way to "pitch" your employment assets to employers, selling them on your abilities and showing them exactly what you could do for them.
