Career Portfolio (Booklet Assignment)

You may wonder what a portfolio is supposed to contain. You will include in your portfolio all of your accomplishments—most recent ones are best, but anything you think is still relevant is appropriate. The standards for acceptance into a business or college are high, so be certain to include your best work, and display it carefully. Follow the instructions inside your packet and check with your other teachers or a guidance counselor if you have questions on specific items. Below, in order, are the items you need to include in your portfolio. Please check these items off as you complete each section. An appropriate binding will be used:

1. Typed letter of introduction  

2. Typed resume Three (3) letters of recommendation  

3. Three (3) samples of your work  

4. A high school transcript or recent grade report  

Copies of your personal interests and achievements The portfolio will stay with you for your entire career. You will add to it regularly as you master certain skills relevant to your career objectives. Ask your teachers, parents, and friends for advice and feedback to help you develop an outstanding portfolio, one that provides a comprehensive profile of you and your abilities.

Good luck!
