Welcome to the Career Portfolio. This document is designed to make it easy for you to display
your best work and accomplishments. Employers and college admissions staff will use your
completed portfolio to judge your academic ability, maturity, and motivation. Your portfolio,
along with a personal interview, will help determine your future employment or your acceptance
into a two- or four-year college.
You may wonder what a portfolio is supposed to contain. You will include in your portfolio all
of your accomplishments—most recent ones are best, but anything you think is still relevant is
appropriate. The standards for acceptance into a business or college are high, so be certain to
include your best work, and display it carefully. Follow the instructions inside and check with
your teachers or a guidance counselor if you have questions on specific items. Below, in order,
are the items you need to include in your portfolio. Please check these items off as you complete
each section.
• An appropriate three-ring notebook/binder
• Typed letter of introduction
• Typed resume
• Three (3) letters of recommendation
• Three (3) samples of your work
• An official high school transcript
• Copies of your personal interests and achievements
The portfolio will stay with you for your entire career. You will add to it regularly as you master
certain skills relevant to your career objectives. Ask your teachers, parents, and friends for
advice and feedback to help you develop an outstanding portfolio, one that provides a
comprehensive profile of you and your abilities.
Good luck!
