Question

recommend two practical ways in which you as a grade 12 leaver, could use a career portfolio to convince an employer that you could be suitable candidate for the job. In each answer, also indicate why you would be an asset to the company​

Answer 1

Answer:Kick off your portfolio with personal information that makes it easy for your reader to get in touch. Be sure to include your full name, phone number, recent em.ail add.ress and, preferably, links to your LinkedIn profile and any web.sites or social media accounts that are relevant to your work. For instance, if you're a graphic designer, you may want to include a lin.k to your freelance business's web.site or the instag.ram account you made for your digital art projects. If you're a writer, you may want to include a lin.k to your blog and your Twit.ter account. After you've laid out your contact information, share a short summary of who you are as a professional. What work have you done, what is your career philosophy and what makes you a unique opportunity for future employers? Then, include a list of your career goals over the course of the next "five years," according to Scot Chrisman, CEO of THE MEDIA HOUSE.Next, your portfolio should include a copy of your resume. The resume should be updated with your most recent professional experiences and tailor-made for the job you're applying to. In other words, make sure the roles and accomplishments you include make a case that you'd be great in the role you're seeking. Your career portfolio should also include a list of your skills and accomplishments. These can be drawn from work you've done as a professional, as a volunteer or as a student. Each job you apply to will include unique required skills in its job description — "add at least three to five skills that are important to the job requirement you are applying for" to your list, Chrisman says. Work samples are the shining gem of the portfolio. This is your chance to show off the best work you've done over the course of your career and to illustrate the skills and accomplishments you claimed in your resume and earlier in your document. The hiring employer may specify that they'd like to see a certain amount of samples. If they don't, remember that quality is more important than quality. "Make sure to only include quality work samples in your portfolio,"  my teacher told us. "Don't add everything just to make it look like you've already done many projects. What's important is the quality or your projects, not the quantity."Lastly, include a list of professional references who can confirm the skills and accomplishments you've laid out in your portfolio. These can be clients, former managers or former colleagues. If you've worked with clients or have especially good relationships with your former managers, ask them for a testimonial to include alongside their reference.
