Hi Michael, I teach a course, Professional Devlopment, and in this course student must create a portfoli. I also show examples of a completed portfolio. The students become so excited by seeing the visual, also I really blow up the importance of a dynamic portfolio during the job search process. Not only is the portfolio a great tool for interviewing, it is also a great confidence builder. The portfolio shows the student he or she has made some great accomplishments in life. I think it is a super idea for students to create a portfolio. The student has all his or her important information pertaining to the job process in one central location, and also the examples of work section shows the prospective employer what the student can do. The portfoli is no doubt an impressive tool. Patricia
