e-Portfolio Ownership
You are the owner of your e-portfolio. not your school, not your company, not anyone else… you will move between schools and employers frequently in life so don’t expect anyone else to take responsibility for your career. You have gone to a lot of hard work to takes courses, learn software programs, languages, community service etc. It’s worth spending just a little bit of time now showcasing what you have done and where you are heading.
Increasingly, employers want more than just a traditional resume and this e-portfolio can help give you a competitive edge. It’s a good idea to keep your e-portfolio current to improve your chances of getting the job you want after graduation or additional companies interested in you even if you already have a job.
In some fields (especially in the marketing sector), companies are looking for employees that have “blogging skills” and “content management” skils, skills you will get while working on building your e-portfolio.
So it’s time to get started with building your e-portfolio!
