Portfolio Tips
- Keep it professional, type all pages, and label entries that are
not self-explanatory.
- Remember the interviewer does not have a lot of time to read, so
keep it brief.
- All entries should be current. Keep your resume updated.
- Use good bond paper and a quality folder.
- Protect all entries by using plastic insert pages. Remember that
many interviewers will be handling your portfolio.
- Try to organize the portfolio so it flows. Put most important entries
first. For example, philosophy, resume, degree, certifications, awards,
and scholarships.
- Use bulleted statements whenever possible. Bullets draw the eye to
important entries and help the interviewer with short, clear, and concise
information about you.
- Don't forget to bring your professional portfolio to the interview.
- Don't leave your professional portfolio at the interview unless you
make arrangements to retrieve it.
