A professional portfolio is a requirement for the job search in some career areas, such as journalism and education. For other career areas, the portfolio is an effective method to illustrate skills, proficiencies and experience.

Begin building your professional portfolio early in your college and professional career by collecting and maintaining related projects, papers and group processes. Display these in a professional portfolio or a nice photo album.

Some fields will specifically ask for a portfolio at the interview. The portfolio is additionally an outstanding self-assessment and job search preparation tool.
