Employment

An employment portfolio is an assembly of documents that provide concrete evidence of your achievements, skills, experience, abilities, and learning. It is an opportunity for you to present the best of yourself to other people and a way to inform potential employers of your qualifications.

A portfolio contains a wide variety of documents related to your achievements, education, work/volunteer experience, descriptions of your skills, records of extracurricular activities, and your resume. Please follow these links for detailed examples of the types of documents you can include: Delhousie University Academic Advising and University of Victoria Career Services.

In addition, the act of creating a portfolio can be a career planning tool for self-discovery and self-evaluation. Doing so can help you identify transferable skills that can help you clarity to your career direction.
