showcase your career portfolio

Your career portfolio will be the tool that you need to demonstrate your skills. It acts as the support document to show what you have done. To be effective, it has to be professionally designed and contains the necessary information.

Some of the key points to be included are...

a. your current resume including your education, jobs and the duties and responsibilities. The jobs can be arranged in the reversed chronological order, with the latest job appear on the top.

b. Awards and recognition - This is the area where you can include all your degrees and certificates. Insert in the recognition you had received in school and your contributions to various clubs or society. If you have awards from kings or queen, include them.

c. Sample of work output. For example, if you are an artist, show the a sample of you art. If you are a scientist, take the picture of the published work in the international journals.

The career portfolio will provide the evidence of your capability. Rather than talking about what you have done, you are showing the example of your work. It provides a more credible demonstrationof your capability.
