Welcome to this demo
where you will learn how to develop a
personal work portfolio. After watching this video, you'll be able to determine what information to
include in your portfolio and apply these ideas to develop your unique personal
work portfolio. As we shared in an
earlier reading, a personal portfolio is a great way to
showcase your work and demonstrate you have
the skills required to satisfy a potential job role. This short demo will provide an idea of what to include in your portfolio and how to
format your presentation. A portfolio can be a hard copy document
or an electronic one. Share your name, title,
and contact information. Always include a picture. Try to share a variety of pictures throughout
the portfolio. Provide a brief introduction. Tailor your introduction
so that it resonates with the audience you are sharing
your portfolio with. Provide a brief agenda. You may wish to reference the slide or page number and turn this into a mini
table of contents. Again, a picture is
worth 1,000 words. Vary your pictures. The next section provides a miniature persona of
yourself. Share your goals. If possible, try to
share goals that the portfolio viewer
might embrace as well. Express your values. Again, do your homework. What values do you possess
that would be appreciated by the reader and the
organization you are targeting? Share your likes.
What drives you? What are you passionate about? Always ask yourself how will my likes add value to
the role I am seeking? Consider at quote that expresses your passion and values.
This is optional. However, if you have a favorite quote or saying
that matches the vision or values of the organization or role you are
targeting, add it. Always include an overview of your education and
certifications. You don't need to
list everything. Determine which educational
and certification particulars support the position
you hope to attain. List your job history. Share your last three or four
roles that show you have the experience needed to take
that next big career step. Share pictures of
yourself on the job. Try to have a good mix of you working by yourself
and with others. Choose pictures that
show your passion, ability to effectively
collaborate, and professionalism on the job. Again, do your homework. Try to choose examples of your work that
are meaningful to the portfolio reader and pertinent to the role
you hope to attain. Try to limit this part
of your portfolio to your hardest-hitting
top three examples. Describe the work. Share how this work provided
positive results. Finally, share a
link to the work. Give the reader an opportunity to view the work in detail. Here is a slide holder to share your best work, number 2. Finally, here is
another slide holder to share your best work, number 3. Share references. Find individuals who work
in meaningful positions, willing to be advocates for you. If possible, pictures
do add impact. You may wish to add
contact information to the references as well. Provide a brief summary. Reiterate who you are, what you stand for, and the value you can bring
to an organization. This is your final
elevator pitch. Tailor this section
to the audience. Finally, always end
with a thank you to those who took the time
to review your portfolio. Reiterate your
contact information, and, of course, your smile. In this video, you learned
that in your portfolio, include your name, title, contact information, a
variety of pictures, and a brief introduction tailored to resonate
with your audience. An agenda serves as a table of contents to guide your viewer. Consider adding the three most meaningful
examples of your work. Include descriptive
information about your product management results. Your portfolio is an excellent location
to add references.
