The Career Portfolio Workbook

Digital Options for Your Portfolio

and Resume

OVERVIEW

In this chapter we will discuss ways in which you can use the comput-

er and the Internet to facilitate and enhance both the creation and the

presentation of your resume and portfolio.

Specifically, we will discuss the following:

Creating and using digital resumes

Getting digital help when creating your portfolio

Presenting off-line digital portfolios

Evaluating the pros and cons of having a Web-based portfolio

The technical capabilities and constraints associated with different

digital formats

We believe that in most career situations presenting hard copy

portfolios in face-to-face meetings is the best way to achieve your career

objectives. Nevertheless, we believe that you should use the computer

and Internet to help with this process and to extend your reach. In this

chapter we will show you the ways in which a digital portfolio can help

you.

Let’s begin with your resume.
