Important Uses for Portfolios
OVERVIEW
Thus far we’ve focused on how you can use a career portfolio to get the
job you want. But, as we pointed out in the first chapter, that’s not the
only thing a strong portfolio can do for you. In this chapter we will ex-
amine some other particularly good ways that a portfolio can be a real
career booster. And we will review several ways that career counselors
and organizations can achieve important goals by encouraging the use
of career portfolios.
Specifically, we will review how the Can-Do Career Portfolio sys-
tem, targeting career P.E.A.K.S., can be put to good use in the following
ways:
Personal Use:- To have a successful performance review
- To get a raise
- To get a promotion
- To make lateral moves within your organization
- To make a radical change in your career
- To get consulting assignments
