E-Guide to Career Portfolios
Career Portfolios require initiative and personal responsibility.
It is YOUR commitment to managing YOUR life.
- Several months ago Google took away it’s bachelor degree requirement! NO they did not lower their standards—they changed how they quantify and measure knowledge, skills and abilities—now they look for the evidence of “Exceptional People!” The leading employers already know we are consuming education differently.
- We are in an exciting new place for learning. The new world of seminars, boot camps, online academies and target courses stack into your own education and professional development plan. Don’t forget that internships, apprenticeship’s and community service also give evidence of knowledge, skills and abilities when documented too. And best of all you choose what to do because you know the minimum viable ROI (Return on Investment) before you spend money or take on strategic debt.
- It takes proof to open the door to a new position…it does not matter whether you call it the Career Portfolio, Professional Portfolio, or Portfolio—it is the best work samples put together for skill areas needed in your targeted career (job-title). (We’ve been doing this for over 20 years—we prefer Career Portfolio but all terms get you where you need to expand your career.)
