First, strategy is to make sure I have a current resume to showcase my education, achievements and to provide some background information. In the article” The use of professional portfolios for career enhancement”, Casey and Egan stated that it is important to include: “Biographical information, Educational background, Employment history, and professional qualification certificates” (Casey & Egan, 2013). This information provides an overview of what I currently have in my resume which includes my education, background and accomplishments which is a great way of introducing yourself to the people. Therefore, another key strategy is to plan on how and what would be the best way to layout all these pieces of documents to achieve the best display of your hard work in an organized and accurate manner.
Second strategy is through an online ePortfolio which is an online presentation or representation of my academic and professional experiences and achievements. An eportfolio is a way to show to potential employers how you want to be viewed professionally. “Rather than just a retrospective account of continuing professional development activities, a portfolio can be used as a vehicle for engaging in self-assessment and personal development planning. This online portfolio allows any employer to learn about the candidate’s
accomplishments whether they are a fit for the position before the face to face interview. My eportfolio helps me in demonstrating my wealth of experience and help substantiate what I am saying during an interview.
