A career portfolio is a collection of materials used by Senior Executives that showcase their work experience, skills, qualifications, and accomplishments to present to employers. A career portfolio may also be referred to as a “work portfolio,” “professional portfolio,” or “job portfolio.”  It includes a professional career summary overview, resume, cover letter, biography, a summary of professional achievements, letters of recommendation, project samples, Degrees, Licenses, Certifications, Professional Development Activities, Military Records, Community Memberships, and Professional References.

It’s much more detailed than a resume or a cover letter and can be a very effective way to bundle your work accomplishments, education, skills and training, work samples, testimonials, and more into one appealing package.

Creating an eye-catching portfolio can make a world of difference in your career. Take the time to show employers the value you would bring to their company.
