What is an online portfolio?
An online portfolio is a tool that job seekers or graduate school applicants use to show skills, accomplishments, pictures, designs and/or reports to a potential employer or graduate program. They are usually accessible online and include PDF files, Word documents, videos, photos, and other content that shows off candidates’ skills and accomplishments.
Note: Career portfolios are different than academic portfolios that focus on what has been accomplished or mastered in a class or academic program. But, you can use works created for a class in your career portfolio.
